January 15: EADS subsidiary company Patria Aviation Oy has received a €40 million order from the Finnish Air Force to upgrade its fleet of 18 Hawk Mk66 trainers.

The 18 aircraft are former Swiss Air Force, procured in a deal finalised in June 2007 and are similar to the Mk51, of which the Finnish Air Force has 49 examples. The planned upgrade will include a revised cockpit and avionics to bring the jets to a standard common with that of the upgraded Mk51A fleet, currently comprising five aircraft, and will last until 2013.
