Delivered in the late eightees to the Ilmavoimat. First serving the KoulLLv, then HävLLv 31 and 21 and 41. The Hawk experienced a birdstrike in July 2011 and was withdrawn from use on 16 Novcember 2011. As the airframe was close to end of its fatigue life, the Ilmavoimat decided not to repair it. The Hawk was stored at Tampere in the Vuores depot and cannibalized to keep the active Hawk fleet alive.
