The Korean Air Force's Black Eagles aerobatic team held an air show to celebrate the Yeongdeungpo Yeouido Spring Flower Festival in western Seoul on Sunday.

The annual cherry blossom festival kicked off on Friday and runs through Tuesday.

Some 5 million visitors flock to the festival each year, and the Yeongdeungpo District Office controls traffic and limit vehicles from entering parts of Yeouiseo-ro, the main path of the festivities.

The cherry blossom season started later than anticipated this year in Seoul.
