[quote]The Finnish Air Force and Patria agreed on the system modernisation of the Hawk jet trainers in December 2006 in order to further increase the quality of fighter training by creating mission planning, recording and debriefing capabilities. The first Hawk jet trainer modernised by Patria with the modern avionics and a glass cockpit successfully performed its first flight in Jämsä, Finland on 23 September 2008. The Finnish Air Force has announced to upgrade also the 18 BAES Hawk Mk66 jet trainers purchased from Switzerland in summer 2007, which accumulates the number of modernised aircraft up to 30. Patria has maintained the Finnish Hawks during their entire life-span as well as performed significant modification projects. The Finnish Air Force and Patria are together surveying possibilities to offer pilot training also to foreign pilots in the Kauhava, Finland-based training centre as well as possibilities to sell the excess Hawk trainers to foreign customers.
