Hawk was dropped from the UAE advanced trainer competition on 30 October 2007.
At the time of the Dubai Air Show in November 2007, the remaining aircraft in the competition were the Aermacchi M-346 twin-jet, which the Italian Air Force will surely buy, and the Korea Aero T/A-50 which has natch been ordered by the Korean Air Force. The international version of the T/A-50 is supported by Lockheed Martin. Both types are supersonic and fly-by-wire, with reconfigurable control systems and instrumentation.
As Korea Aero say in their blurb
many current advanced jet trainers are so old as to be older than the pilots they are training
