Anybody knows where he could get his hands on Su-7 that never served in GAF?


Education and military career​

[edit]
Rawlings finished his secondary education at Achimota College in 1967.[21] He joined the Ghana Air Force shortly afterwards; on his application, the military switched his surname John and his middle name Rawlings.[22] In March 1968, he was posted to Takoradi, in Ghana's Western Region, to continue his studies. He graduated in January 1969, and was commissioned as a pilot officer, winning the coveted "Speed Bird Trophy" as the best cadet in flying the Su-7 ground attack supersonic jet aircraft as he was skilled in aerobatics. He earned the rank of flight lieutenant in April 1978.

Perhaps in India ?
Via Wikipedia „ India … established full-fledged diplomatic relations with Ghana immediately after its independence in 1957“.
Some kind of exchange of pilots between the airforces maybe ?
