Eagle Eight captures the Republic of Korea Air Force Black Eagles in close formation, eight yellow and black T-50B jets set against a clear blue sky.
This is an original Marqforde photograph of the full display team, taken as all eight jets held their slots together, the black and yellow scheme sharp against the blue.
About the team
Korea's air force display tradition began in 1953 with four P-51 Mustangs, followed by the Blue Sabres on F-86s. The Black Eagles name arrived with the F-5A in the late 1960s; the team stood down in 1978 and returned in 1994 on A-37B Dragonflies.
After a pause from late 2007, the team re-formed in 2009 on the KAI T-50, which went supersonic on 19 February 2003, the first supersonic aircraft designed in Korea. Ten T-50Bs were built for the team, their internal smoke tanks good for over twenty minutes.
On its first UK visit in 2012 the team won the Boeing Trophy at RAF Waddington, then both the King Hussein Memorial Sword and the As the Crow Flies Trophy at RIAT. Returning in 2022, it took the same two RIAT awards again.
