History.
The BAe Hawk T1 is a British single-engine advanced jet trainer aircraft, introduced into service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1976. Designed and manufactured by British Aerospace (now BAE Systems), the Hawk T1 was developed to replace the Folland Gnat as the RAF’s advanced trainer. Renowned for its agility and reliability, the Hawk T1 became an iconic platform for pilot training.
Aside from its training role, the Hawk T1 has been employed in a light combat role, capable of carrying air-to-ground and air-to-air weaponry. The aircraft is best known for its association with the RAF's aerobatic display team, the Red Arrows, which have flown Hawks since 1979. The Hawk T1 has proven its versatility and longevity, remaining an integral part of RAF pilot training for decades, with its successor variants continuing to serve both the UK and air forces globally.
A total of about 1,000 T1s were produced, which found their buyers in the air forces of 18 countries. In fact, the US Navy uses a special version of this aircraft (T-45) for training purposes from the decks of aircraft carriers.
