This explains all.

Finally they've overhauled the F-7BS aircraft too! So I think now there are 4 F-7 fighters in service with the ones that joined recently? First two registrations are SFI-782 and SFI-783. Wonder what the other two are?
Heard that even the other C-130K, SCH-881 (former SCH-3402) is also nearing the overhaul completion. So I think we will have 2 C-130K Hercules back in the fleet again like the good old times.

Bigger planes do come by, such as the Antonov AN-32B, C-130K and mostly the MA-60 aircraft. Nowadays even commercial/private jets come by too on short stopovers.
The Helitours MA-60 aircraft normally touches down at 1600hrs (4.30pm) or sometimes a bit late too.

Do you know the flight path?
Does it come from Jaffna or Trincomalee ? But, I have never seen a landing at that time

Yakalov 130 - which he is pictured in as well. A much better choice compared to JF-17 if they are looking seriously.

Russia likely to offer a credit line facility to purchase the jets…
