    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.

                      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!

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

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