Force Aerienne du Niger was formed in 1961 and adopted a Netherlands-like roundel (change red to green and blue to orange and leave the central orange dot) until 1980 (Cochrane & Elliott, 1998).

Equal to the national flag, but all on a disk. Adopted in 1980 (Cochrane & Elliott, 1998).

It seems that Niger uses a new aircraft marking. (probably used since 2015)
