The Black Knight's Emblem

EMBLEM

The name, Black knights, originates from the game chess. The Knight is widely regarded as the most aggressive, flexible and manoeuvrable of the chess pieces. It has the ability to breach barriers and move in nimble and strategically important directions. Therefore, the Black Knights exemplifies flexibility, precision manoeuverability as well as the mental and physical agility of our pilots.

The Black Knights is also the formation insignia of Tengah Air Base, home to the RSAF's fighter aircraft and the RSAF Black Knights. The Black Knights emblem is sported on the red vertical tail of each of the team's aircraft.

The team's name is emblazoned on both sides of the aircraft which is painted in our National colours, red and white.
