Chapter 621 Military (Third update, please subscribe)

The heavy rain comes and goes quickly.

After the sky cleared, the sun soon emerged from the dark clouds, but it only took a moment, and the bright sunshine quickly dried up the water on the ground.

Air Force Kuching Military Base, this base is an airport built in the late World War II. For many years, it has been the largest air force base of the Air Force. The bomber group that bombed Bandung took off from here.

Although the heavy rain stopped not long ago, planes were soon taking off from the airport. Routine training began again, and the sound of planes could be heard from the sky.

Inside the concrete bunker, pilots swarmed like a swarm of bees around a plane that looked so different that it didn't even have a propeller.

"How about it? You didn't expect it. This is a jet fighter made by us in Nanyang!"

Captain Fang Muyun said happily,
"F-1 fighter!"

"It looks a bit like F86."

"Oh, jets all over the world look the same!"

"no the same!"

Zheng Baotang said.

"Our F1 fighter has a lighter empty weight. It uses a P-1 jet engine produced under license from BMW, with a thrust of 6000 pounds... You see, this F1 has very powerful firepower and is equipped with two 2mm doors. The machine gun is no worse than the FW30 in terms of firepower..."

The biggest complaint of the Air Force has always been that the P51D's firepower is weak. Some people even described its 12.7mm machine gun as a "small water pipe." Although the FW190's firepower is powerful, its performance has lagged behind.

Because of this, when the Air Force was developing a jet fighter, the first requirement was that it must have strong firepower, so it naturally arranged for a 30mm cannon.

Now just relying on these two 30mm cannons, the jet fighter in front of them has conquered them all.

Nanyang is the fourth country to have jet fighters after the United States, Britain and Russia!
Fourth in the world!

"Haha, now we no longer have to carry small water pipes up to the sky. Only 6 have been delivered now?... It would be great if we could fly this kind of aircraft earlier."

"Oh, you want to fly right away? Jets are completely different concepts from airplanes in the past. You will know the level after you have flown it!"

As one of the few pilots who has flown jet aircraft, Zheng Baotang has a strong say. He has not only flown F1 fighter jets, but also flown F86 as a training pilot in the United States. In terms of jet flying experience, he is definitely very experienced.

Naturally, we also know the difference between jet aircraft and propeller aircraft.

"Don't worry, we still need to carry out transformation training first. From now on, all of us will fly jet aircraft. After all, we are already in the jet age!"

The pilots soon settled down. They entered the classroom and began to learn about the cockpit and driving characteristics of the jet aircraft under the guidance of veteran pilot Zheng Baotang.

In fact, it is to understand some characteristics of jet aircraft flying in the air, especially the characteristics of jet engines. There is not much difference in overall driving. After all, its cockpit is not much different from that of p50d.

After two days of preliminary learning, Zheng Baotang, as an "old pilot", began to conduct demonstration flights.

With the roar of the engine, the plane began to take off and taxi, and then suddenly shot into the sky.

When the F1 fighter jet made the unique roar of its jet engine and flew through the air, everyone looked up at the original metal fighter with longing in their eyes.

Jet fighter!

The most advanced fighter jet in the world!

Made in Nanyang!
Next is transformation training. The process of modifying flight training for new aircraft is not long, but it is complicated. Pilots must transfer their skills from flying other aircraft to flying new aircraft, and jet aircraft are completely different from all propeller-driven aircraft in the past. In this process, not only must all useful skills be transferred to new aircraft, but also new skills must be learned. Different from the P51D, which has a speed of only a few hundred kilometers, the F1 fighter jet can fly at a speed of more than 11 kilometers per hour. It is not only fast, but also has a fast climb rate. As soon as it takes to the sky, the aircraft can make extremely outstanding maneuvers. Action, its performance far exceeds any aircraft pilots have ever known.

When flying an F1 fighter into the sky, the pilot always feels confident. Although he has less than fifty hours of flying experience in a jet fighter, Zheng Baotang is still practicing complex maneuvers to explore new air combat maneuvers. Put yourself in a favorable position in a real air battle and trap the enemy. Only by doing this can you win the fierce aerial combat.

While Zheng Baotang was flying in the air, Graf, who was standing on the ground, was also looking at the plane in the sky with interest.

As early as two months ago, he had flown F1. Although he did not have the opportunity to fly the F86 in the United States, he was still impressed by the performance of this aircraft. And from the perspective of data indicators, all indicators are not inferior to F86, and some indicators are even slightly ahead.

"A new era has begun..."

With emotion, Graf turned his attention to the other side. There were still several FW190s and P51Ds parked on the lawn beside the runway. These former main fighters were destined to be eliminated.

At the Air Force Nanhai Base, when the plane landed and opened the cabin cover, Hartman, the captain of the Third Air Force Wing, couldn't help but sigh.

"Times have changed!"

"How's it going? Captain, it's still okay!"

The ground crew captain who brought the boarding ladder asked with a smile.

"I have not flown other jets, but from my experience, it is very fast and has excellent maneuverability. It must be a very good fighter!"

As the number one ace pilot in the history of world air combat, Hartman made this judgment based entirely on his past experience - he has carried out 1,404 combat missions and engaged in 825 battles. He has a wealth of experience. Combat experience allowed him to make a very fair judgment.

Hartman said as he jumped out of the plane.

"Starting from tomorrow, the entire team will enter transformation training. We must complete the transformation as soon as possible. After all..."

Hartman paused, then said.

"We don't know if we will be involved in a war."

The reason why Hartman made such a guess is that as we all know, Nanyang is an ally of the United States in Asia. Now the United States has intervened in the Peninsula War in the name of the United Nations. So, what about Nanyang?
If the United States exerts pressure, can Nanyang stay out of it?

Although as a soldier, Hartmann did not care about politics or international relations.

But if Nanyang is really involved in the war, they at least need to be prepared in advance. Perhaps, he personally will not go to the battlefield as a pilot, but he must ensure that other pilots in the wing can master jets extremely skillfully. Fighter's fighting skills, only in this way can they survive the cruel war.

When issuing this order, Hartman turned his attention to the excited pilots. As the number one ace pilot in the history of world air combat, he knew very well how cruel the war was. If he wanted to survive the air combat, he had to do more. training.

"Now the military has canceled the vacation, and I don't know..."

After thinking about it, Hartman once again cast his gaze in the distance, towards the young pilots.

Of course I know these pilots are eager to fight, but...can they fight now?
If you are driving a p50 or fw190, there is no problem. But what if they were allowed to fly fighter jets?

Now they haven't even mastered the skills of flying a jet fighter, let alone fighting.

"The key is to train."

After jumping out of the plane, Hartmann quickly gathered the pilots in the company to share with them the driving skills of this jet fighter...
