The Sri Lanka Air Force (SLAF) was one of few export customers of the Argentina-designed and built IA-58 Pucara, the others being Colombia and Uruguay. The type was used during the internal conflict which ended in 2009. CA-605 (ex CA-602 and ex A-601 with the Air Force of Argentina) is seen here resting from duty in the excellent museum in Ratmalana.
