Саудовская Аравия стала первым заказчиком Strikemaster. В рамках первого заказа от 1966 года она приобрела 25 самолетов - их поставили в 1968-1969 годах. Затем общее количество закупленных машин выросло до 40. Оставшиеся самолеты использовались до 1987 года в качестве учебных в 9-й и 11-й эскадрильях Авиационной академии имени короля Фейсала и были заменены на Pilatus PC-9.

Новозеландские Strikemaster обеспечивали подготовку летчиков на основной боевой самолет национальных ВВС - штурмовик A-4 Skyhawk. Strikemaster находились в эксплуатации до 1992 года, им на смену пришли 18 машин Aermacchi MB-339CB. Сегодня один Strikemaster остается в летном состоянии у гражданского владельца и находится около Окленда.

Сингапур был самым активным эксплуатантом Strikemaster. Первоначально в 1969 году были приобретены 16 новых Mk 84, но затем в Южном Йемене были куплены еще четыре Strikemaster (плюс три Jet Provost T.Mk 52), а в Омане - еще пять машин. Самолеты входили в состав 130-й эскадрильи (авиабаза Селетар), их списали в 1984 году. На заднем плане - самолет с четырьмя блоками НАР SNEB.

Наиболее активно в боевых условиях самолеты Strikemaster применялись в Омане в конце 1960-1970-х годов для подавления повстанцев. Самолеты часто пилотировались в сольном варианте (летчики меняли друг друга между вылетами). Данный Mk 82 несет 227-кг авиабомбы и НАР SURA, сгруппированные в "кассеты" по четыре ракеты.

Strikemaster Mk 88. Strikemaster сделал блестящую карьеру в новозеландских ВВС, которые вначале заказали 10 самолетов для замены устаревших Vampire из 75-й эскадрильи, использовавшихся для подготовки и переучивания летного состава (включая подготовку применению вооружения). Но в конечном итоге 14-я эскадрилья в Оакеа (южная часть Северного острова) получила 16 самолетов, находившихся в эксплуатации до 1991 года.
