Manufacturer date 28 November 1980 was delivered to the V-VS, and then moved to the Ukraine. The sale contract was signed on 26 July 2006 and the MiG was soon after delivered as CF-761 to Sri Lanka. It was assigned to SLAF 5sq. The FLOGGER was reserialled to SFS-5304, in 2010, moved to 12sq and reserialled to this SFS-761 by March 2012. It was last seen operational in 2013. Then kept in flyable storage but eventually stored with the Aircraft Engineering Wing at Katunayake.
