    Really sad. According to the news, the pilot got killed : http://www.newswire.lk/2020/12/15/sl...-aircrft-issi/

    i wonder why pilot couldn't evacuate the aircraft with parachute ?

    Haleef, was this plane flying from Trincomalee to Ratmalana? does this mean all other PT-6 will be grounded?

However, the second aircraft proposed to be delivered by India will cost around US $ 8 million and will be provided under the Indian credit limit. (sl guardian.org)
                According to the below link, Training already been given to Sri Lanka Navy Pilots back in Jan 20 So that means more training going to be given to Sri Lanka Navy?

                                India is hoping to transfer a Dornier reconnaissance aircraft to Sri Lanka in a bid to boost defence collaboration between the two countries, Swarajya news reported yesterday quoting Times Now.

                                It said the move follows the recent conclusion of a joint military exercise between the two countries.
