Republic of Korea Air Force’s aerobatic display team “Black Eagles” was one of the highlights of the recent Singapore Airshow 2014.

The 53rd Air Demonstration Group, nicknamed Black Eagles is, since Dec. 12, 1994, the official aerobatic display team of the ROKAF. Back then they flew the Cessna A-37B Dragonfly aircraft.

The team is based at Wonju airbase and is equipped with the T-50 Golden Eagle since 2010, when the Black Eagles was reactivated after a being temporarily disbanded in 2007, and has also undertaken a European tour in 2012, when the team displayed at RAF Fairford during the Royal International Air Tattoo.

The T-50s took part in the Singapore Airshow and the following interesting video published by the ROKAF shows the preparation and execution of their 5,300 km deployment.
