The team took home two prizes — the King Hussein Memorial Sword and As the Crow Flies Trophy — for the best overall flying display at the three-day event held at Fairford, Britain. The event ran through Sunday.
They delivered highly-synchronized displays in the skies to background songs including John Lennon’s Imagine, an aria titled Nessun dorma and a K-pop music by Blackpink.
It is their first appearance at the show in 10 years.
