    No proper date(s) to be exact. And no, I doubt that the air force will purchase another C130?

        What about the Antonov32 s? Only one seems to be flying. Meanwhile do you know how many AN 32 s were there initially?

            I think there were about 5-7 in service at one point. They have 1 in the museum, 1 flying and 1 just sitting on tarmac at katunayake. Others crashed i think

                                They did, but past Dehiwala. I took these pictures from Mount Lavinia beach.

                                    The beechcraft earlier used to have a HISAR radar system a very advance one,then later they fixed a star safire FLIR. Now it has nothing.

                                        No, no, it has one still! It's just that they remove it when it's not necessary. But, in vain though! They should have fixed it for an occasion like this.

                                            Nice! Thanks for sharing. That MI-17 Close-up pic and the fighter jets were the best!

                                                    Can someone explain how the SLAF aircraft registration number is formed?

                                                        If SLAF acquired the MIG27s in 2005/2006 why are they grounded?

                                                            Were they new when they purchased?
                                                            Because they are very old
