9 Aug 2008
Austria expects to make a decision on its future advanced jet trainer strategy in late August, with options including a limited avionics upgrade to its Saab 105s, replacement equipment such as the Alenia Aermacchi M-346 and BAE Systems Hawk, or interim access to Northrop F-5s.
Although it is a member of the multinational Advanced European Jet Pilot Training initiative, Austria intends to retain its own AJTs to operate beneath its eventual fleet of 15 Eurofighter Typhoons.
