This installment “Export Hawks – Part 1” introduces the first of the export customers of the Hawk, the Finnish Air Force. Finland bought 50 Hawk Mk 51s, the first export version of the Hawk. They have since purchased an additional 7 Mk 51As to replace lost aircraft and have agreed a deal to buy the remaining 18 Hawk Mk66s which have been withdrawn from service with the Swiss Air Force. Deliveries of these begin in 2009. This package includes 2 visiting Swiss Hawks to signify this deal.
