The RAAF’s first BAe Hawk Mk 127 Lead-In Fighter (LIF) trainer, A27-01/DT01/ZJ632, had its maiden flight at Warton on December 16.

The RNZAF is seeking buyers for its 19 A-4K/TA-4K Skyhawks. This action has been taken while it continues on Project *Kokiri**, the lease of 28 embargoed Pakistan Air Force F-16A/Bs as Skyhawk replacements. The lease agreement for the F-16s was signed in July.
