Do you know the Korean Air Force Aerobatic Team, Black Eagles that received the Award&Trophy for best display at the International Air Show in U.K.?
Their display was acclaimed by international air show specialists and manias because they were awarded at their 1st international debut.
During the Waddington Air Show, held June 30th to July 1st, the Black Eagles won the 2012 Best Overall Flying Demonstration award, and during the world's largest airshow, RIAT, held July 7-8th, the team won The King Hussein Memorial Sword and The ‘As the Crows Flies’ Trophy. And in July 9~15th at the Farnborough air show, one of the world's three renowned air show, Black Eagles was acclaimed for their amazing performance.
Black Eagles's excellent performance was shuttled by T-50B, South Korea's first indigenous supersonic aircraft, which brought Korea's munition industry into the attention of the world.
Korea is known in the international defense industry to have competence not only in air crafts, but also in tanks, K-9 self-propelled guns, submarines, etc. I am looking forward to the Black Eagle's next performance.
