DB,
That's a pretty damning verdict on the Hawk! I assume that you are speaking about the 115 NFTC Hawk and not the new Hawk that is proposed for Valley.
With the present training system not meeting the requirements of FL aircraft, and most of the 'competition' you talk of not currently meeting them either, why do you say that the Hawk is 'a wonderfully instrumented Hawk that won't last the life or meet the real expections of future fast jet training.'? It sounds like a step in the right direction to me!
However, it is good to find someone willing to talk about the future of Flying Training....whoever you work for?
