In April 2024, the RAF Typhoon Display Team unveiled a newly painted Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.Mk 4, wearing a commemorative D-Day paint-scheme, marking 80 years since the allied invasion of Europe. The aircraft features a 1944 green/gray camouflage pattern and invasion stripes, honoring a Hawker Typhoon of 257 Squadron, FM-G. On D-Day this aircraft was flown by Pilot Officer Denzel Jenkins. Jenkins began the war as an airman and was commissioned as an officer in Jan 1944. Later, he became Officer Commanding (OC) 257 and was decorated with the Distinguished Flying Cross. The display aircraft ZJ913, nicknamed "Moggy", has been be a regular at airshows around the UK. Designed as part of a co-operative effort by Germany, Italy and the UK to produce an air superiority fighter, the Eurofighter was first flown on March 27th, 1994. The Eurofighter is a single-seat, twin-engine, agile combat aircraft used in air-to-air, air-to-ground and tactical reconnaissance roles. It is intentionally aerodynamically unstable, which gives it its high levels of agility-but this means the Typhoon is controlled by a computerized "fly by wire" system instead of by its pilot. The Eurofighter's first rate performance is matched by excellent all round vision and by sophisticated attack, identification and defense systems and stealth technology. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
