                      US-gifted TH-57 ‘Sea Ranger’ helicopters arrive in Sri Lanka

                      Daily Mirror) - Ten TH-57 ‘Sea Ranger’ multi-role helicopters granted by the United States Government to the Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) have arrived in Sri Lanka, marking a significant milestone in the long-standing defence partnership between the two countries.
                      According to the SLAF, the helicopters were transported to Sri Lanka by sea and are currently undergoing configuration and technical preparation work at SLAF Base Ratmalana. Following inspections, acceptance procedures, and test flights, the aircraft will be formally inducted into service.

                      The addition of the TH-57 fleet is expected to significantly enhance the Air Force’s operational and training capabilities. The helicopters will primarily be utilized for pilot training, humanitarian assistance and disaster response (HADR) operations, search and rescue (SAR) missions, and various other public service responsibilities carried out by the SLAF.

                        Yes, this is the first time UL participated for an Airshow ever,                         4R-ABM A320-214 operated by Capt Chaminda De Soyza, which included first extreme low pass with landing gears down from RW 22 to 04 and another extreme low pass without landing gears from Rw 04 to 22 directions. (I think its just 200 from Ground)
                        according to FR24, 200ft in the first go and 225ft in the second.
