Black Eagles approach

The Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford was this year blessed with The Black Eagles, the aerobatic team of the Republic of Korea Air Force.

 

They fly the native built T-50 jet trainer and the team's aircraft were airfreighted to the UK and assembled at Leeming in Yorkshire. The whole exercise was a great way of trying to sell this impressive aircraft for export.

 

On the Thursday at Fairford, they did a full blown rehearsal in wonderful evening skies and here we see two coming into land after their lengthy display.
