Airframe identity not confirmed. The Tamil Eelam Air Force had a small number of light aircraft and ultra lights which were used during the civil war in the 2000s. Two Tamil Tiger Zlin 143 were lost during an attack on Colombo on 20 February 2009. One aircraft flew into a tax office building, whereas the other (905) was shot down by anti-aircraft fire near the international airport of Colombo. What is left of it is now at the Sri Lanka Air Force Museum.
