Blackjack, formally known as Typhoon ZJ914, was unveiled to the world on May 28, 2021, showcasing a striking livery that would become synonymous with its identity.
Flight Lieutenant James Sainty had the honor of piloting Blackjack on its maiden flight. Despite its new livery, ZJ914 was an older airframe, categorized as a Tranche 1 Typhoon, a testament to its robust design and enduring legacy.
Constructed in early 2005, Blackjack was designated as a Typhoon FGR.4 and officially joined the ranks of the Royal Air Force on June 7, 2005, under the identification ZJ914. Over nearly two decades, it has been a stalwart of the RAF, participating in numerous displays, exercises, and operational roles, earning its place in the annals of aviation history.
