977 not the flight number?

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

5N-RAM

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)[reply]

The aircraft registration is an unlikely search term. Using "5N-RAM" in the standard search box already has this as the top article. MilborneOne (talk) 15:14, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It's more likely that a bunch of redirects created for many articles on wikipedia. It appears on accident reports, so is likely enough. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 05:21, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alhaji Ibrahim Damcida

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)[reply]

Can't this just be included as prose? Creating a list of one seems a little silly. Khazar2 (talk) 20:57, 4 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Image

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)[reply]

Not really. I know this will be WP:OTHERSTUFF but almost every other page has pictures of a similar plane. It is not inappropriate. It gives the reader a picture of what the plane looked like. --Arsenalkid700 (talk) 02:25, 5 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Number of Indians

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)[reply]
