                • Hi all!
                  I just arrived back home after a 3 week holiday in Sri Lanka. Very nice country with very nice people! I think we saw the most important things the country has to offer. Some better than the other.

                  For planespotting my trip started in Istanbul, Turkey. We had to stay there for 1 day because of an error made by Turkish Airlines. I think I spotted there entire fleet there.
                  In Male I took some pics through the window of the aircraft.
                  In Sri Lanka, I went to Kandy to spot the Air Taxi Cessna Caravan on its daily flights.
                  I also spotted an Avro from the Air Force. It was stored somewhere on route nearby Galle.
                  After that I went to the museum. Very nice museum! Better than the one we have in Brussels.
                  Yesterday on my last day, I went spotting in Colombo.

                  Spotted following:
                  FlyDubai B738 A6-FEG FEQ
                  Sri Lankan A340 4R-ADF

                  Spicejet DHC-8 VT-SUE
                  Private Beech AP-CAC
                  Turkish A333 TC-JNM
                  Private B1900 ZS-EAK (black Air New Zealand cs)
                  Deccan Aviation 4R-DLZ
                  Mihin Lanka A320 4R-MRE
                  Korean Air A333 HL7554


                  Nice list for me, just missing the IL-18

                  Also, Anybody with more info about that AN-8 stored? former registration would be helpful.

                        I came in with Turkish Airlines. We had a 24hr delay in Istanbul because Turkish Airlines made a fault with our booking. First we flew the A321 to Istanbul. Good service but not a lot of space between the seats. The flight to Colombo was with a A330-200. You have more space there . It was via Male. The aircraft was full until Male. After Male more than 3/4'th of the pax got off leaving only a few to Colombo. Same on the way back, but than without the 24hrs delay .

                        Sri Lanka was worth visiting. We enjoyed our time and are thankful to all nice people who made our holiday complete. You just can't say anything bad about the Sri Lankan people .

                        Kind regards,
                        Yves

                        Kind Regards

                            I talked to some people from the air force and all told me that is was allowed to take pictures where there are no signs that it is forbidden. I think it is ok as long as there is no building on the picture.

                              It's an AN 8 previously owned by Skycabs Cargo. Registration 4R-SKI. I think it had an accident when it's landing in Colombo.

                              Where did you take the pictures of the airlines at Colombo Airport? Did you find any best plane spotting location?
