Korea (South) - Air Force Korean Aerospace T-50 Golden Eagle 10-0061

The Black Eagles were the first Asian fixed-wing military demonstration team to perform at the Air Tattoo and their visit was the culmination of 25 years’ planning; they’d originally been invited in the mid-‘eighties. The Korean Aircraft Industries T-50 supersonic advanced trainer is a joint venture with Lockheed Martin and based on the F-16 airframe; it is in competition with the Hawk T2, the Aermacchi 346 and the Yak-25 in a world marketplace ripe for exploitation as the Alpha Jet and T-38 near retirement.
