Pilots
from the Finnish Air Force’s 41st Fighter Squadron, based at Kauhava Air
Base, had deployed to RAF Valley with their Hawk Mk66s in September
2013, to participate in Exercise Finnish Hawk alongside the resident Hawk T2s
of IV(R) Squadron.
The
exercise saw pilots from Finland and the UK operating alongside each other to
share their Qualified Flying Instructor knowledge and experience.
The
Fins operate the Hawk Mk66 as a fast jet trainer, and their aircraft have
upgraded cockpits and avionics to enable students to progress more smoothly to
the F-18 Hornets operated by the Finnish Air Force.
