The Hawk Lead In Fighter Trainer (LIFT) is the version selected by the South African Air Force in December 1999.
This variant is powered by the Adour 951.
The next generation Hawks (120, 127 and 128) feature a new wing, forward and centre fuselage, fin and tailplane. The aircraft have only 10% commonality with the existing first generation aircraft.
The new variants also have four times the fatigue life of the original aircraft. 24 aircraft will be delivered to the South African Air Force.
