BAE Hawk 127 A27-28 RAAF Avalon 2007

I took this Hawk walkaround at Avalon in 2007. The RAAF has 33 of these nimble little strikers on strength as second-tier trainers to ease the transition from the turbo-prop Pilatus PC-9s to the F/A-18 Hornet and Super Hornet and F-111 fast jets. A development of the UK Hawk T1 basic trainer, the 100 series Hawks are much more capable aircraft. The have an extended weapons capability, more powerful engines and a sophisticated electronics suite including an integrated navigation and attack system. They are operated by Nos 76 and 79 squadrons. Check out how the exterior is already looking worn with boot scrapes on the fuselage sides above the wing and dirt and fluid trails from the various protruberances (one of my favorite words), and yet the inside of the wheel well is virtually spotless.
