[20], The New Zealand Government announced the purchase of 11 T-6Cs for the Royal New Zealand Air Force for NZ$154 million, on 27 January 2014 to replace the PAC CT/4 Airtrainer, with all aircraft delivered by February 2015. Hoyle, Craig.
In 1962, the Folland Gnat entered service to replace the de Havilland Vampire as the RAF’s advanced jet trainer. The design team was led by Ralph Hooper. [90] While the proposal had its proponents, it was controversial as in a ground-attack capacity Iraq might have employed the Hawk against neighbouring Iran and to oppress Iraq's own Kurdish population;[91] there was also concern that the Hawk could be potentially armed with chemical weapons. Designated the McDonnell Douglas T-45 Goshawk, the design was adapted to naval service and strengthened to withstand operating directly from the decks of carriers, in addition to typical land-based duties. [124][125] It made its first flight in June 2017. The aircraft became operational as part of a comprehensive, world-class fast jet training system under the auspices of the new Advanced Fast Jet Training (AFJT) programme, a pioneering component of the wider UK Military Flying Training System that is now reaching fruition. In October 2006, a GB£450 million contract was signed for the production of 28 Hawk 128s. [88][89], During the 1980s, a prospective sale of 63 Hawk trainers to Iraq was considered by the British government. During the last week of January 2018 a cluster of unexplained physiological events involving the T-6 occurred at Columbus, Vance, and Sheppard Air Force Bases. On 5 March 2013, during the 2013 Lahad Datu standoff, five Hawk 208 together with three American-made Boeing F/A-18D Hornets were employed in airstrikes on hideouts of the terrorist group Royal Security Forces of the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo in Lahad Datu, Sabah ahead of the ground assault by joint forces of the Malaysian Army and Royal Malaysian Police.

Hawk is not only the world’s leading military aircraft trainer, it is also a proven light combat aircraft, able to offer close support, reconnaissance, surveillance and air defence – and is ready to play an effective role in combat missions at a fraction of the cost of operating front-line aircraft.

Missile developer and manufacturer MBDA may provide their ASRAAM and Brimstone missiles to arm the new attack type. Work to upgrade the RAAF's Hawks to a standard similar to the Hawk 128 standard began in 2014, and it is planned that the two squadrons will begin operations with these aircraft in 2017. The SEPECAT Jaguar was originally intended for this role, but it was soon realised that it would be too complex an aircraft for fast jet training and only a small number of two-seat versions were purchased. The two others, who ejected safely, were injured and taken to the Command Hospital. In April 1978, Indonesia, seeking to increase its aerial capabilities, placed the first of multiple orders for the Hawk.
The T-6A is used by the United States Air Force for basic pilot training and Combat Systems Officer (CSO) training, the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps for primary and intermediate Naval Flight Officer (NFO) training, and by the Royal Canadian Air Force (CT-156 Harvard II designation), Greek Air Force, Israeli Air Force (with the "Efroni" nickname), and Iraqi Air Force for basic flight training. 51As were delivered in 1993–94 to make up for losses.
