Bae Hawk
Flying/Training in a BAE Hawk?
Hiya, I'm wondering if anyone knows of anywhere you would be able to fly a BAE Hawk outside of the RAF? (or outside any other air force for that matter) I don't mean like thrill rides or anything, actual training/type rating stuff. I know there's quite a few places where you can do this in a L-39 Albatross and was wondering if there is something similar for a Hawk. Many thanks.
I can understand your desire to train/fly in the BAE Hawk. It's quite a versatile aircraft and used by 17 other Air Forces, like the RAAF, and the Finnish Air Force (though the Swiss Air Force recently phased them out). Because of its wide landing gear track, it is very forgiving in not-so-precise landings. It can be a trainer but also a serious short-range interceptor aircraft for point defence. And its airframe is immensely strong, stressed up to +9 g...one reason why it is used in several national aerobatic teams (like the RAF's Red Arrows and Finland's Midnight Hawks).
But to fly these things require advanced Air forces flight training and there is no organization or company in the world offering joy-rides for these aircraft, at least not for the moment. The only sure way seems to be to pass muster in the RAF and qualify for fighter training.
Just enjoy this video for now:
