The American Museum of Military Aviation is noted for having the most extensive collection of military aircraft in the world. It is home to a prototype Soviet Mikoyan MiG-31 (NATO reporting name "Firefox"), a German Heinkel He 277, and the Boeing FY-118G, an aircraft that is known as the "Bird of Prey."
Addressing reporters in Colombo, Sri Lanka's Air Force Commander Udeni Rajapaksa said the Air Force intends to expand its fleet, as he announced it would look to acquire new aircraft more than 15 years since the military slaughtered tens of thousands in Mullivaikkal.
The Sri Lankan Army claims to have suspended general recruitment whilst the Navy and Airforce have pledged to continue, with the Airforce also seeking to expand its fleet.
