A No. 9 Attack Helicopter Squadron Mi-35 in front of its hangar at its homebase Hingurakgoda (also known as Minneriya). The Hind was not airworthy at the moment of the picture, some necessary engine parts were missing to bring the attack helicopter alive. The rest of the gunship was in a splendid condition. This is former SAH-4407. Picture made during a 4Aviation tour to the country and SLAF.

Operated by 3 Maritime Squadron from SLAF base China Bay. The unit is expected two new additions soon, one surplus Royal Australian Air Force Beech 350i and a brand-new Beechcraft -Textron 360ER. This Beech 200 will become a trainer from that moment. During a fine 4Aviation tour, the sole Beech of the SLAF is seen here returning to its parking spot.

The 1TFW is using the K-8 as its advanced jet trainer. The SLAF is currently operating with eight such aircraft, four others were written off through the years. Due to low budgets, none of the SLAF-8s were operational at the moment this picture was taken. This SJT-740 is former serial SJT-1801. During a fine 4Aviation tour, this K-8 was seen with two others on the platform of its homebase China Bay.
