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

          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.

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

                        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

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

It's currently undergoing a full service and schedule, and will also have a newly painted look. Registration was be SCH-881 hopefully. It's being repaired as the SLAF Hangar at Katunayake. It will fly back soon!
