BIO: The double-seater Hawk T.1 and T.1A distinguishes itself as the foremost advanced jet trainer in existence, serving equally-distinguished countries such as its home-nation of Great Britain, the United States (T-45 Goshawk naval trainer), Saudi Arabia, South Korea, and Indonesia. In 2004, India requested the construction of 66 upgraded Hawk AJT trainers, as export and under contract, to supplement its ever-growing air force. An excellent trainer and light attack aircraft, the Hawk can achieve speeds of 1000km/h and can break the sound barrier in a dive. To complement the Tornado F.3 in Great Britain, the Hawk can serve as a point defense fighter armed with dual Sidewinder missiles and an ADEN 30mm cannon. By the dawn of the 21st century, the Hawk remains a favorite in worldwide military market, providing excellent competition to newer trainer aircraft like the MAKO and T-50 Golden Eagle.
