In Europe they are known as the Saudi Hawks, but they are actually called Suqoor, which means Falcons (falcons) in their home country. They fly 7 BAe Systems Hawk jet trainers in a green color scheme with contrasting white accents, the colors of the flag of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The team was established in 1998.
