Australia's Hawk 127 jet trainers have reached the milestone of 75,000 flying hours, the Australian Department of Defense said.
The two-seat Hawk was manufactured by BAE Systems and is used primarily to prepare aircrew for the front-line fighters F/A-18 Hornet, F/A-18F Super Hornet and - when it arrives -- the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter.
"The remarkable achievement is testament to the commitment and dedication of all those involved -- maintenance crews, engineers, aircrew and our partners from industry," the Defense Department said.
Australia ordered 33 of the low-wing all-metal Hawk 127 jets in 1997, 12 of which were made the United Kingdom and 21 in Australia.
