Looking very smart in the livery of the Sri Lankan Airforce. This is not the real CT180, as that was partially destroyed in a terrorist attack on the base at Anuradhapura on 22nd October 2007 along with CT183. The remains of both CT180 and CT183 were combined to make an aircraft for display at the SLAF Museum at Ratmalana AFB Sri Lanka which shows aircraft lost during the conflict and they are in a "dump" type display. The airframe in this image is ex PLAAF.
