RAAF Hawk Mk.127s

Just thought I’d link some pictures which have recently come up on the RAAF centre of the Hawk Mk.127s which have now entered service with 79SQN at RAAFB Pearce and 76SQN at RAAFB Williamtown.

They’ve received a very nice paint job indeed, one of the best looking Hawks around I reckon:

Looks like an ARDU example in lead

Awww, it tried to look ugly, but it’s just too cute…

I’m beginning to really like this plane :). I think the RAAF roundels on them has something to do with it…:D
