Yakalov 130 - which he is pictured in as well. A much better choice compared to JF-17 if they are looking seriously.Airforce Commander at MAKS 2017, what are those jets in the background of the discussion Mig 29's?

Do you know the flight path?
Does it come from Jaffna or Trincomalee ? But, I have never seen a landing at that time

Finally they've overhauled the F-7BS aircraft too! So I think now there are 4 F-7 fighters in service with the ones that joined recently? First two registrations are SFI-782 and SFI-783. Wonder what the other two are?
Heard that even the other C-130K, SCH-881 (former SCH-3402) is also nearing the overhaul completion. So I think we will have 2 C-130K Hercules back in the fleet again like the good old times.

Bigger planes do come by, such as the Antonov AN-32B, C-130K and mostly the MA-60 aircraft. Nowadays even commercial/private jets come by too on short stopovers.
The Helitours MA-60 aircraft normally touches down at 1600hrs (4.30pm) or sometimes a bit late too.Leave a comment:

Sri Lanka Air Force had trained one of their F-7 fighter aircraft during the past two days. I got information that it was an air test that was done by a Chinese pilot. Today hopefully there will be another test flight from Katunayake, that will be to the North of VCBI, towards Kurunegala. Wonder what these tests are for?
This explains all.Leave a comment:
