Finland’s Patria has chosen Esterline CMC Electronics (CMC) to perform a glass-cockpit upgrade for the Finnish Air Force’s BAE Systems Hawk Mk66 advanced jet trainers. The air force purchased the 18 ex-Swiss Air Force Hawk Mk66s in 2007 to add to its fleet of Hawk Mk51s.

Separately, CMC has won a contract from Pilatus Aircraft to supply its head-up display (HUD) subsystem and latest generation flight management system for the United Arab Emirates air force’s 25 PC-21 turboprop trainers.
