외국軍에 허용않던 피라미드 하늘… 한국 블랙이글스 사상 처음으로 아프리카 상공 날아

The Black Eagles... took part in a major Airshow in Egypt, becoming the first foreign demonstration team to fly over the pyramids.
The accomplishment provides a boost to South Korea's efforts to export the FA-50 fighters.
Bae Eun-ji tells us more.
South Korean fighter planes fly over the ancient pyramids in Egypt,... leaving smoke trails of different colors.
They also loop and spin across the sky to create the shape of the Korean flag... and then the shape of a heart.
The "Black Eagles"... an air display team from the South Korean Air Force... took part in an airshow in Egypt for the first time.
They flew for about 30 minutes and pulled off around 24 different air maneuvers.
This made them the first ever air demonstration team from another country... to fly above the Pyramids of Giza.
The Pyramids Airshow is usually only for teams from the Egpytian Air Force,... because access to the airspace above the 4,500-year-old pyramids for other countries' militaries is not easily permitted.
The Black Eagles also conducted a joint flight with the Egyptian Air Force air demonstration team the 'Silver Stars' to foster a partnership between the two nations.

"It was great to see the two countries cooperate and perform at this air show."

The cooperation... and Korea's participation in the Pyramids Airshow... is part of the country's efforts to export FA-50 light attack fighters to Egypt.
The Black Eagles were using the T-50 supersonic trainer jets,... and the FA-50 is the light combat version.

"I heard Egypt is very much interested in our FA-50 jets, to acquire them as their advanced trainer jets. All the local military officers are watching us perform,... so if they see how well our aircraft can perform, I think they will definitely be fascinated by our T-50 series planes."

Earlier in February, Egypt signed a deal worth almost 1-pont-7 billion dollars with South Korea to purchase K-9 self-propelled howitzers and other support vehicles.

The two countries are reportedly negotiating whether to sign another deal for the FA-50s... and ways to manufacture them in Egypt.
