Aviation Herald is reporting that it's number 1993. http://avherald.com/h?article=4508fb60&opt=4096 -- Mareklug talk 18:31, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
Did you mean 997?
997 and 1993, and other odd-numbered flights, are out-bound flight to Abuja according to the Dana Air reservation system. Flights from Abuja to Lagos appear to be even-numbered flights. Reports that 997 was in-bound and approaching landing at Lagos doesn't seem to make sense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.26.51.152 ( talk) 19:00, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
5N-RAM should redirect here. It's the designation of the airplane involved, and also the most prominent use of the number. 70.24.251.208 ( talk) 13:03, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
I restored him as a victim as he was an under-secretary ( Parliamentary Secretary), which, under the Westminster political system is usually elected. Since Nigeria uses the Westminster system, it is likely that he was an elected member of Parliament at one time, thus qualifying as wikinotable. Ravendrop 16:24, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
I removed the image of a Spanair MD 82. It is inappropriate to show the image of another airline as an "example" image of a crashed flight. Only a Dana Air image would be appropriate. If none is available, then it is better to show nothing. Chitu ( talk) 01:28, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
From this BBC article,it appears that in addition to the co-pilot, one Indian passenger was also on board. This doesn't tally with the count shown in the article (or with the source used). Do we have official figures ? Chocolate Horlicks ( talk) 04:44, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
WhisperToMe ( talk) 14:52, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
There is apparently concern, that somehow illustrating the crash article of a Dana Air MD-80 series aircraft with that in another livery somehow slanders the other airline. As the picture was re-added by an experienced aviation editor/administrator, but removed twice by relatively inexperienced editors, perhaps this warrants some discussion here? -- Mareklug talk 12:04, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
I have removed mention of a maintenance company Mytechnic Engineering as I cant see the relevance it is something we dont normally mention unless it is directly concerned with the accident. We dont mention other agencies that maintained the aircraft, engines or carry out the first line maintenance, I would be interested to know why we single this one out.

I found that the coordinates in the article only point to the airport. I did some looking around and think I've found the actual site in Google Earth. If you look at historical imagery for 2012-06-04, it seems to be visible. 3°18'50.5"E, 6°40'19.0"N. If someone can verify this the article can be updated. I am not at all sure about this, it's just near a street mentioned in the aviation herald article, and appears to be the location. Autumn Wind ( talk) 14:50, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
