After the airshow, Prime Minister Johnson asked President Moon, "Does Korea have a flight team like the Red Arrows?" In response, President Moon said, "We have the Black Eagles, who won first place at an international competition," and added, "Our Eagles team can even write letters in the sky, including 'G7,'" the Blue House reported.

Previously, the South Korean Air Force aerobatic team 'Black Eagles,' which performs celebratory flights at major domestic and international events, first participated in the international airshow held at RAF Waddington in the UK in 2012, winning first place in the airshow display category. In the same year, they also received the Best Demonstration Award at the RIAT airshow held at RAF Fairford in the UK.
