You just gotta love these sunny spring days and the snow on the ground. There will be plenty of those not-so-great black belly photos in the summer.

Hawk mk.66 from Switzerland

British Aerospace Hawk 66
U-1261
Cn SW011/346
Kuorevesi – Halli (KEV / EFHA)
20.5.2009

The first public appearance of one of these mk.66′s FiAF bought from Switzerland.

The Hawks were a bargain for the Finns. Finland paid only approximately 40 million Euros for 18 Mk.66 Hawks that have only flown less than one fifth of their total flying hours.
