    Why can't SLAF planes fix ADS-B transponders? Isn't it easy for them and aviation enthusiasts to track?

      When is the scheduled Helitours MA-60 plane landing?
      IL76 of Indian Airforce once landed at RML several years ago.

                          They must have plans to induct maritime patrol aircraft, otherwise there is no point in training in those .
