Plane Spotting & Flight Reports

Is it going to fly again?

They raised anough money to put it back in order and to fly it again. Hope to see this one back up in the air soon.

Somebody who has more info about 4R-RAY, the blue aircraft stored in the Air Force Museum? Would like to know the manufacturer and the type.

Thx in advance!

Kind regards,
Yves

It was built by a Sri Lankan named Ray Jayawardene.

So homebuilt? Won't find a lot of info then .
Thx for the info!

Here are some shots from the museum. I was there on 26/06/2015.
































Next aviation pics from Sri Lanka will be from Colombo where I spent 1 day of spotting. Will take some time as I have a lot of other pics to edit from my trip self.

Hope you like them.

Spotted 4R-ADF @CMB

Spotted 4R-ADF at CMB!!
The last of the Srilankan Airlines A340-300
Was flying to COK on 4R-ABO

Good shot bro!
What's your flight number UL165 or UL167 ? Please tell me more about Passenger-load-factor and cabin service. I heard UL is now doing well ! There are more good reviews on skytrax.

4R-ADF is flying today CMB-DEL-CMB as UL1191/1192. Any reason why? Normally UL use A320/A321 to DEL. Notsure why A340 flying this time.

Lovely shots yengels!

Anybody give the name of the aircraft types of war planes stored in RML airforce museum? Link : http://www.airsrilanka.org/showthrea...ll=1#post12074

Thanks bro
Well I flew out on UL167 (4R-ABO)
The flight was 100% full, however the IFE screens weren't that responsive and the food was horrible
My return leg was absolutely horrible.Was on UL168 (4R-ABL) and it was just a nightmare...They really are messing up their short-haul flights very badly and COK-CMB being my worst ever experience with UL
Sad to say AirAsia India had better service overall
Pretty disappointing




ADF flew to DEL to pick up stranded passengers in MAA,GAY and VNS due to the floods in Chennai and the suspension of operations of both MJ and UL
I too was re-booked through COK as i was supposed to be on MJ129 and MJ130 to MAA
Will be posting up my trip report soon
