In January 1978, Britain and Finland announced a deal to in which the Finnish Air Force was to receive 50 Hawk Mk. 51s in 1980; these aircraft were built in Finland under licence by Valtion lentokonetehdas. The Finnish Air Force was limited to 60 first-line fighter aircraft by the Paris Peace Treaty of 1947; by acquiring Hawks, which counted as trainers rather than fighters, capacity could be increased while continuing treaty compliance. These conditions were nullified at the break-up of the Soviet Union.
Seven additional Mk. 51As were delivered in 1993–94 to make up for losses. In June 2007, Finland arranged to purchase 18 used Hawk Mk. 66s from the Swiss Air Force for 41 million euros; they were delivered in 2009–2010. Finnish Hawks have reportedly been armed with Russian Molniya R-60/AA-8 air-to-air missiles. The Finnish Air Force aerobatics team, the Midnight Hawks, also uses the aircraft.
Due to rising levels of metal fatigue, 41 out of 67 in Finland's total Hawk fleet will be taken out of service between 2012–2016; the remaining aircraft are younger and thus are expected to be flying into the 2030s.In 2011, Finnish Mk. 51s and Mk. 66s underwent upgrades, including a new Patria Cockpit 2000 glass cockpit and new software.

B-2A (Beta) by FastCargo.
 
********************** Version 0.90 ***********************
 
SF2 Version for Jul 2013 Patch.
 
Original model from tf3dm - 3dregenerator
Modifications to import into TW sims by FastCargo
Textures and most decals by FastCargo
Cockpit, ModPilot, and Aces II seat from B-1B Redux Package by Dels, et al
Included weapons from The Ordinance Shop II by 331KillerBee and FastCargo
Hanger and Loadout screens credited to the respective individuals
Thanks to ST0RM for high res photos allowing me to complete the area around the cockpit
Templates for all textures and decals included
Any errors are mine...
 
 
Aircraft include:
 
B-2A - All 21 tail numbers are included in the Block 30 paint scheme (operational).
 
 
Notes:
 
This release is a beta, and as such, is somewhat incomplete. The cockpit is from the B-1B.
 
A new weapon has been included, the GBU-57 Massive Ordinance Penetrator (MOP). Big boom...but only one per bay. JASSMs have been slightly modded to have more realistic flight performance. The weapon bay loads have been built to realistically hold the proper number and types of weapons the real B-2A could carry.
 
The FM has been tweaked to allow the player and AI to fly with reasonable accuracy. There are still a few bugs...mainly the AI likes to be nose down during the approach and landing. Also, there can be weapon bay visual errors when the AI is dropping weapons (ie the bay doors may not open). The weapon bay errors are limitations in the code that can't be fixed...it has to do with more than one weapon station using the same bay door animation slot. We are still working to squash the remaining issues...and one day we will have a proper cockpit for this machine.
 
Have fun...report any crippling bugs (except trying to use it in SFP1/WOV/WOE/WOI...you're on your own) in the release thread at CA.

Readme for the Raytheon AT-6B Texan II. For Strike Fighters 2 Series.
 
Version 2.0
Changelog:
-Cleaned up some areas on the 3d model plus increased the detail in almost all areas including AT-6B specific items plus the addition of extra details. (antennas etc.)
-The skin's texture size and detail has been increased, plus changed to .jpg format.
-Weapon modifications in _DATA & Loadout.ini files.
-Included the AGM-114L as a CGR and added Hellfire rails to the 3d model to overcome the issue of engaging moving targets.
-New hangar and loading screens.
-New cockpit glass reflection texture.
 
Version 1.5
 
MAJOR upgrade in cockpit and model by Dels. Much closer to actual AT-6B appearance and specifications.
More weapons tweaking by FastCargo.
 
Version 1.1
 
Added Sounds
HUD Fixed
 
Original model, FM, drop tanks, etc. based on Dels PC-9.
Idea, decals, skins and coordination by Dave.
Addons and weapons by FastCargo.
 
This version is for the SF2 version of ThirdWire sims only!
 
 
Installation:
 
Copy the Objects directory into your ThirdWire mods folder. Allow overwrites (if any). The only alteration to basic stock or the current SF2 weapons are a slight tweaking of the basic Stinger missile.
 
 
Notes on this release:
 
The FM isn't perfect, but will work pretty good as long as you remember it is not an F-22...don't try to pull like you are one. Also, for some reason, certain racks will only load through the loadout.ini, but not in the pull down menu. Haven't found why this acts this way yet.
 
Canopy is activated with animation key #10.
 
 
Notes on the aircraft, from airforce-technology.com:
 
http://www.airforce-technology.com/projects/at-6b-light-attack/
 
"The multirole AT-6 will be capable of performing missions including: net-centric ISR with the ability for precise geo-registration, streaming video and datalinks; light attack including combat search and rescue (CSAR), close air support, forward air control and convoy escort; homeland defence (border security), port security, and counter-narcotics operations; and civil missions such as disaster area reconnaissance, search and rescue, and firefighting.
 
The AT-6B is equipped with a sensor suite that can include a variety of electro-optical, infrared, laser and hyper-spectral sensors, for example the Wescam MX-15Di. The Boeing joint helmet-mounted cueing system, in service with the USAF and US Navy, can be fitted for targeting.
 
There are six wing-mounted hardpoints for stores. With its MIL-STD 1760 smart weapons interface, the AT-6 can be armed with a variety of weapons including 0.50 calibre machine gun pod; air-to-ground missiles like Hellfire and Maverick; AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles; and munitions including Paveway II / enhanced Paveway II / Paveway IV guided bombs, joint direct attack munition (JDAM), small diameter bomb (SDB) and 2.75in rocket pods."
 
In short, the AT-6B is a LIGHT attack aircraft, perfect for COIN ops, FAC, etc. Operate it with this in mind you'll find you'll have a lot of fun with it.
