The Royal Ceylon Air Force was formed in 1951 and became the Sri Lanka Air Force in 1971. The same markings have been used since its formation until today.

Maroon and yellow vertical stripes are the Sri Lankan Air Force fin flash which are the colours of the old flag of Kandy, the ancient kingdom in the centre of the island.
