This Kfir C2 is former IDF serial 961. It was manufactured in 1979 and delivered to the Sri Lanka Air Force as CF-720 (with only 821,29 flight hours) on 4 November 2000. It was reserialled to SMF-5207 in 2011. The Kfir was place on a metal construction outside the SLAF Air Force Headquarters, in the middle of Colombo town most probably late late 2011, early 2012. In the back ground, the Colombo symbolic landmark Lotus Tower can be seen, 1,153 feet (351.5 meters) high. The Lotus Tower's acts as a tourism place and it functions as a radio and television broadcasting antenna too.
