Overview 

Zinda Blake was excited about flying this plane for her employers, Blackhawk Inc., which is now a shipping company. They had other plans and wanted her to co-pilot a rinky dink little plane. Angry and frustrated she goes to a bar and there Black Canary offers her a pilot job with the Birds of Prey. She accepts the job under the condition she flies how she wants. Canary agrees and Zinda later steals it with a tiny bit of help from her boss. Ted Kord takes it and installs several upgrades.
