Pumpuni is no idiot but telling the truth. I know the Adomi Bridge and its environment very well since my childhood. I have walked across it multiple times. I can attest and support what Pumpuni has postulated. Based on the STRUCTURE AND THE BUILT UP OF THE ADOMI BRIDGE, THERE IS NO WAY A JET FIGHTER OR MILITARY HELICOPTER CAN FLY UNDER THE BRIDGE. Nothing has changed yet at the ADOMI BRIDGE and the media can seek the appropriate Political and Legal permissions to take video pictures of the Bridge and the gap between the Bridge and the river and televised it on the National and other Private Television Channels for Ghanaians to find out if the claim by Efo Julor John Rawlings is possible. Let it be Televised live and make the average honest Ghanaians draw their very own conclusion s.
Any honest Ghanaian my age can attest that Rawlings was a super braggart who did not take any serious part in the June 4th Revolution. It was ADABUGA, AKATAPORE, NKWANTABISA, BOAKYE DJAN and some brave Northern Youthful Military men from the Kumasi Barracks who sacrificed their lives for the Revolution. Rawlings was just driven to the Broadcasting House to make his announcement of the Coup. Doubtful ones among you can ask the surviving men of the Army who carried out the Coups and the Revolution. Rawlings was just a lying damn foolish scammer who played on the intelligence of the youthful Northerners in the Army and made it look like he was the bravest of them all. ADABUGA and ADOMAKO NYAMEKYE and a few Soldiers who were eyewitnesses are still alive
.
Rawlings was a good Pilot and many Ghanaians had not seen the Helicopter before. Everywhere Rawlings went, he used the Military Helicopter because he was a coward and feared he can be killed if he went by road. I just pity the Northern Military youth who were used for the Coups, latter threatened to flee into exile or killed to be replaced by Anlo Ewe Soldiers who did not play any significant role in the Military Takeover of the maniac and murderer Rawhide Rawlings and his Dzelokokpe Murderous Maniacs. Let the Television Networks in Ghana show us the picture of the Adomi Bridge and the Volta River that flew under it. Efo Julor John Rawlings was a stupendous liar and a traitor who took delight in glories that he didn’t deserve.

This modern age it’s not glorifying academic achievement but pragmatic achievements. Even Israel who has the best pilots in the world appreciated him - where he understood his training.
Let’s call a spade a spade. JJ Rawlings was God gifted leadership skills characteristised by charisma.
It does appears he meant well for the country however, killings were uncalled for at all. People like General I.K Acheampong, Major General Roger Feli, Utuka and et el. As for Afrifa etc I can’t say much.
It was unfair to kill those who merely took loans. Why because these loans were to be paid later. A loan is meant to be paid over a period of time but why they killed such generals still remains a million dollars question.
Anyway those who were executed by firing squad unjustifiably took the lead to heaven after which both Captain (rtd) Kojo Tsikata and Flight Lieutenant J.J.Rawlings have followed suit. By now God in His own wisdom has sorted them out in the courts of justice in heaven.

Assuming it is true he did it, was it his own plane he flew under the bridge or it was Ghana Air Force plane? If it was Air Force plane, did he have orders or instructions or permission to fly it under the bridge? If not, why should it be considered an achievement? It is like telling me, using Ghana Air Force plane to give flying training to his daughter is an achievement.

I live and schooled, and still live at Atimpoku. I know the space under the hanging bridge between Atimpoku and Adomi (where others call Maame Water and a branch to Akwamufie)is so big that a plane can fly under it. Around 1979, I was in Middle School form 3 and we saw a small aircraft flew through under the Bridge. The whole town was amazed, though I did not know anything about coup at that time or age except told later day. This man has something negative about Rawlings. Though I am not sure if Rawlings himself ever mentioned that he flew under the Bridge (maybe because of the military implication for him) those who saw it testified to it. Mr. Man please stop displaying your open hatred for Rawlings

My friend it's a lie don't keep it in your brain.NDC Lunatics have been saving the same thing about Rawlingses bravery and courage, but we later got to know that he was afraid of his wife Nana Konadu Agyemang and feared her.. In fact the wife disregarded Rawlings and later extended it to Madam Victoria Agbotui and the Agbotui family. Such an idiot called himself a Revolutionary, a big Liar. Great and Courageous Leaders like Nelson Mandela and Vladimir Putin left their wives when they realised they can't help their course.Greedy Witch Nana Konadu forced JJ Rawlings to change PNDC to NDC, which wasn't JJ''s plan. If JJ Rawlings had rejected that offer and had resigned as Head of State in 1992, he would have been a great Leader. NDC which is a Criminal political party destroyed Rawlings image.

He kept quiet because he knew Rawlings was vengeful and had his Anlo Ewe cohorts in the Military, Police, and the BNI and would have kidnapped and killed him like he kidnapped and killed B.B Bismarck who was the Chief of Aburi. Every experienced adult of Ghana knew the evil nature of Rawlings. Even Boakye Djan who saved Rawlings from a Military Trial warned his brother Kyereme Djan who was playing the fool with some Soldiers that RAWLINGS WAS AN EVIL AND UNFORGIVABLE MAN SO HE SHOULD BE CAREFUL IN ANY ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW RAWLINGS. Kyereme Djan didn’t pay heed. In the end, Rawlings had him arrested on charges of planning to overthrow his PNDC. In the end, Rawlings did not remember what Boakye Djan did to help and save him from a Military Trial and possible execution. Rawlings had Kyereme Djan Executed. Rawlings was just a horrible ingrate. It is very good he was killed by the Covid virus. I would have liked him to rot and stink gradually until he died.

We Ghanaians in particular and Africa as a whole have allowed few ignorant and blind people to lead us for quite too long. There were times Rawlings will ask everyone to sleep at 18hrs and his AFRC regime treated women with disdain yet some will shadow him as a foolish hero. God knows what he is answering for where he finds himself now. God save Africa.

He could not have been court marshalled as Pumpuni claims. At the time the video was made, there was no AI. The evidence exists on video that Rawlings demonstrated his prowess as pilot by flying a helicopter under a bridge, and the journalist remarked that Rawlings was crazy to do such a thing!

Why Now? You should have said this when he was alive. You want us to believe you? Hypocrisy and liars. God will punish all those who try tarnish the image of the Dead.

Ah! What is happening to some of these chaps? Why are they allowing hatred to eat them up at this advanced stage of their lives. The other day, it was the pathetic chap saying, "Rawlings couldn't pass his exams ,blah blah...." . I will employ all to look for the story Brig Gen. Nunoo-Mensah (former CDS) told about that incident. He mentioned that he was present when Rawlings performed the stunt and he scolded him. What is this?

The record has not been set straight until we are told of what exactly happened on that day around the adomi bridge or how that story was made to circulate in the system.

To all those insulting Air Commodore Pumpuni, the old man is right. If you are doubting him because there is a video showing an aeroplane passing under a bridge, that bridge isn't Adomi. Besides, the Ghana Airforce never ever owned that particular plane. The training-planes owned by the Ghana Airforce are well documented: HT-2, Chipmunk, Beaver, Otter. Then came the Bulldog later, and then the L29 Delphins from Nigeria much much later. That aircraft passing under the bridge was none of the above listed. Besides, that stunt was pulled by a sports pilot most likely. Adomi bridge is a suspension bridge with cables holding the road-deck up by the arc, which wouldn't have allowed the plane to pass through as the General stated. Now, passing between the water and the road deck would have been difficult under Adomi in particular because the gap in between the water and the road is very narrow, which could cause a drag of water into the plane. Now, I am yet to watch the video, but it is sad that people are insulting the General. He is blessed with very old age, very experienced as a pioneer pilot and commissioned officer of the Ghana Airforce in particular and the GHana Armed Forces in general. Almost all his mates are dead. Instead of us listening to him and learning from him, as usual, the uninformed and 'too known' ghanaians are hurling all sorts of invectives at him. Hmm! You people don't know. This man represents PROUD-Ghana. I don't even know what to write. Take it from me that he was right about JJ Rawlings and the Adomi bridge. In order not to blow the cover of my identity, I leave it here. General, salute. God is great and he has kept you. Stay blessed uncle.

Why attempting to set records straight at this time when the person is not around to defend himself. Very unethica.l. Is flying under the akosombo bridge beyond human capability.

What is it that we are doing to ourselves? Was the retired Pumpuni the body guard of President Rawlings. Was he following anywhere President Rawlings went? And what impact will this one-sided story make on Ghanaians? Even in his grave, we the living still pursue Rawlings who ruled this country for decades and presided over the 1992 constitution that brought about true democracy we all enjoy. That habit of 'pull him down' will never build a nation. It will not bring unity. Stop these attacks, for they do not promote development which we need for our reset agenda. Ghanaweb must be ashamed for its choice of message that it brings to the fore. Can't Ghanaweb feature issues about the economy, agriculture, energy, education, health, etc? Why is it focusing on stories it cannot verify?

Rawlings never debunked this when he was alive because he wanted to take the underserved credit (if it was an achievement at all)
