A Hawker Hunter parks prior to being displayed for visiting Armed Forces of the Philippines Service members hosted by the U.S. Marines assigned to 3rd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, III Marine Expeditionary Force during Amphibious Landing Exercise 2013 (PHIBLEX 2013) at Subic Bay International Airport, Zambales, Republic of the Philippines, Oct. 13, 2012.

The MK-58 Hawker Hunter was originally built for the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a fighter jet in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Later, it would transition into intelligence gathering and fighter-bomber roles. Both single and double pilot versions were created.  The aircraft was heavily exported, serving in a large number of other military units around the world. It officially retired in 2014 and now enjoys “warbird” status. Maxing out at just under 700 miles per hour and regarded as one of the great early fighters (the UK produced around 2000 of them), military aviation enthusiasts would be happy to get their hands on one of these military aircraft for sale. If you have the funds, they aren’t all that hard to locate. Most Hawkers that are still in existence are owned by groups who perform aerial demonstrations. Some are contracted by the military for use as target training and threat stimulation. Don’t want the hassle of owning the real thing? Grab this Hawker Hunter Model Aircraft Kit.
