Nigeria; Air Force offers to sell surplus MiG-21 and C-130

 The Nigerian Air Force has put up a number of aircraft for sale, including 20 MiG-21 Fighters and C-130 Hercules.

Defense News Nigeria on Twitter: "These are the MiG-21 fighters that laid waste to Chadian forces in Nigeria, delaying their advance on Maiduguri while General Buhari was mobilizing the 21 Amoured Division

The MiG-21s have been advertised by United States-based Trade-A-Plane on behalf of the Inter Avia Group, which said the sale comes as a lot, and aircraft will not be sold individually. The aircraft offered include five single-seat MiG-21 MF fighters with between 250 and 469 hours; four two-seat MiG-21 UM jets with 199 to 547 airframe hours; and eleven single-seat MiG-21 BIS aircraft with between 43 and 165 airframe hours.

The lot also includes 15 new engines and an inventory of spares.

The Inter Avia Group is now also offering three ex-NAF C-130H aircraft for sale. These have been stored for years, with many parts removed. The NAF is refurbishing its remaining C-130s to keep them flying as it returns many grounded aircraft to service.
