      My best guess is the Indian made HAL Dhruv.
      P.s :I can be wrong.

        These are Indian Air Force Sarang Helicopters. Even the BAE Hawk Mk. 132 jets have arrived. Tejas and Dorniers will be coming too. Airshow will be held in Galle Face on the 3rd, 4th and 5th of March 2021 at 5pm.

            Where would be a good place to watch the airshow this week? Somewhere to get a good view of the aircraft. I believe she show is planned for Galle Face? But is there somewhere to actually get a better view as they line up for take off, landing etc?

                    Hi all
                    Interested in the air show this week.

                    Does anyone know details of the aircraft taking part?
                    This afternoon I saw the Indian AF Surya Kiran aircraft flying past in teams of 3 and 2. I believe they are BAe/HAL Hawks?
                    Also saw four helicopters which I thought were SLAF but may have been the IAF Sarang team.
                    I also saw one solitary fighter jet fly past but could not see what it was, possibly KFIR or the MiG27.

                    Does anyone know what will be showing each day?

                    Thanks

                        I might still go twice, but will probably not for all three!

                          Anyone knows the cargo or why it is heading to CMB?
