Great Power Fighting Falcon

Chapter 497 Six old birds ascend to the sky

At three o'clock in the afternoon, six JJ-6 aircraft were lined up in front of the hangar. All inspections had been completed. The maintenance personnel responsible for supporting these aircraft lined up neatly on the side of the aircraft in a straddle position, waiting for the pilots. 's arrival

All the aircraft were decorated and used controllable light strips with four modes to choose from. In addition, smoke pulling devices were added under the wings. By then, high-power searchlights would be on the ground to illuminate the sky above the stage. From there, the aircraft Flying over to smoke will show a different effect than during the day.

Six pilots wearing different flight suits and large sunglasses got off the Coaster and walked over in a horizontal line. The two in the middle were Li Zhan and Gao Yuan. Their steady and free steps were like a taxiing airplane, and their arms swinging back and forth were like the wings of the airplane.

It gives people a sense of sight soaring into the sky.

Li Zhan and Chen Fei were wearing their own flight suits, the Air Force autumn flight suits, blue like factory work clothes. Gao Yuan and the other four were wearing civil aviation captain's standard suits, trousers and large leather shoes (hai), which looked much more fashionable than the slightly rustic blue air force flight suits.

None of them were wearing flight helmets, and the civil aviation captain didn't have one either. However, they were not needed for this flight. The aircraft basically operated in low altitudes below one thousand meters, and there was no oxygen supply problem.

After the typhoon took a detour to Japan, the weather at Gaoqi Airport got better. It was a sunny day with no clouds. The afternoon sun was still a little hot, which added to everyone's enthusiasm. Nearly a thousand people are preparing for the Spring Festival Gala in the early morning, and the most important thing is the flight performance.

The regional civil aviation administration and air traffic control have said that the flight demonstration can only be carried out if there are no problems, otherwise it will be taken down directly. Therefore, the next six people not only have to go through the process several times, but also carefully consider flight safety issues to ensure that nothing goes wrong, so that they can pass the approval of the leaders of the regional civil aviation administration and air traffic control.

Everyone is very confident.

After they boarded the plane respectively, when Li Zhan was standing on the boarding stairs, Chen Fei said loudly to him, "Old Li, there is no afterburner in No. 6, please take it easy and open it."

"How can we drive without any afterburner?" Li Zhan asked with a smile.

Chen Fei had no choice but to pat the cockpit cover and said, "This is a local airline's plane."

"Oh, I understand." Li Zhan suddenly understood.

Chen Fei's worries are not unreasonable. None of the aircraft Li Zhan has handled can have all tails and tails. Look at the 037 J-7EGG. It rings everywhere. But she was pretty good. At least she had plastic surgery and repairs and improvements one after another. Others were either reborn or relegated to the sidelines.

It's easy to talk about your own plane. As for flying, anything can happen as long as it's in the sky, and it's not Li Zhan who slashed it with a knife, so no matter how big the loss is, the leader of the unit can't say anything. You still have to give him meritorious service and receive awards.

But this time I was flying a plane operated by another airline. Even though it was a fairly cheap JJ6, if it was damaged, the compensation would be as little as 1.8 million to as much as 2 to 3 million!

But having said that, the airlines don’t necessarily have to pay compensation. They are eager for the opportunity to make the troops owe them a favor, and they may even want you to crash the car.

After sitting in the cockpit, Li Zhan gently stroked the slightly rough instrument panel with emotion in his heart: "This is our first love. I still remember her smell and this familiar touch. He is like all pilots." The goddess in my heart, I can still feel his stubborn and tiny joystick calling me..."

The radio was plugged in and on, and the others couldn't help laughing.

Gao Yuan said with a smile, "I also responded."

"It's breathing, it's breathing, and I'm breathing."

The girl at the control desk in the tower burst into laughter. She didn't expect that the four captains, who were usually as serious as the dean, had such a cute side.

The girl at the control seat interrupted the greasy captains' joke, "Uh, Big Bird 1, when you're ready, you can come over and line up for takeoff, high flag ground."

After she finished speaking, she released the call button and complained in a low voice: "Why don't you call me Big Bird? Is it big?"

Li Zhan stopped joking and replied quickly, "Received from Big Bird No. 1, ready to drive, over."

The conscience of heaven and earth, Li Zhan and the others just picked it up casually, it's just a call sign, it doesn't matter what it is called, as long as you have real ability.

They use a large lead aircraft formation. The so-called large lead aircraft means that there is a lead aircraft in a multi-aircraft formation, and there are small formations below that also have small lead aircraft. This strict formation structure ensures that A smooth and safe flight performance.

Li Zhan is the undisputed leader and also the junior pilot. His wingman is Chen Fei, while Gao Yuan and Lao Fang are the junior pilots, each with a wingman. The lead aircraft makes movements according to the actions of the lead aircraft, and the wingman follows the movements of the lead aircraft and must not take a step beyond the limits.

This will ensure that mid-air collisions will not occur.

One of the maintenance guys raised his hands and drew circles in the sky. If he moved his buttocks again, it would look like he was dancing to a disco.

Li Zhan turned the start switch, and the aircraft shuddered. The HS-6 star-shaped air-cooled 9-cylinder engine manufactured by Zhuzhou Engine Factory started. Li Zhan turned sideways and looked at the nose of the aircraft. The two-blade propellers were already turning. Looking again He gave the engine attendant a thumbs up to confirm that the blades were rotating normally.

Whether it is a piston aircraft or a jet aircraft, whether the engine is running normally needs to be confirmed by the ground crew, because if the instrument data displays errors, it will cause a serious accident once the aircraft takes off. Aircraft with multiple engines even have strict process requirements when the engines are turned on. It is not just the pilot pressing the switch.

The HS-6 engine can provide 260 horsepower, which is not even as powerful as some car engines used in cars. However, the Chujiao-6 only weighs just over a ton. This engine can fully drive the aircraft to fly at a speed of up to 280 kilometers per hour. , and can allow the aircraft to take off within 300 meters.

It is completely sufficient for a junior training aircraft, and practice has shown that the engine is very durable and very cheap to maintain. To a certain extent, it may not cost much more to maintain such an airplane than to maintain a car of the same price, of course, assuming that management fees are aside.

The Civil Aviation Flight Academy has its own fleet of trainer aircraft, but as the school expands its enrollment, it has long been insufficient. Moreover, it is not cost-effective for the school to maintain a large number of aircraft, so it purchases services from airlines through leasing training. The purpose of this batch of junior instructors from a certain airline company is to take on this kind of business, and they occasionally cooperate with some general aviation clubs to provide private flight training.

To put it bluntly, it is a driving school.

The remaining five JJ6s reported that they were ready to taxi out. Li Zhan immediately contacted the lady at the ground control seat. After receiving approval, he took the lead and followed the guidance vehicle to taxi out.

Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon is a relatively less busy hour at Gaoqi Airport. There are only fifteen flights taking off and landing in total, so the airport gave Li Zhan and the others a twenty-minute departure window.

In fact, in Li Zhan's opinion, this is because the civil aviation airport control is very cautious and conscientious. Otherwise, it would have been possible to take off in the normal takeoff queue. Each plane would only have one minute, or even take off directly from the taxiway. However, the airport control is obviously worried about the unexpected situation. After all, if a civil aviation flight does not cause an accident, it will be a big deal if it does. It is related to the life safety of hundreds of passengers, so no matter how cautious you are, you can't be too cautious.

In order to minimize the impact on the normal operation of the airport, Li Zhan proposed the staged takeoff method, that is, six aircraft lined up on the runway 500 meters apart and then take off at the same time. This was when he was working in Beiku A high-density take-off method created to increase the dispatch rate.

After careful research, both the airport and air traffic control believe this is a very good method, and among the six pilots operating it, there are two Air Force aces and four senior captains from the four major airlines, which can ensure nothing goes wrong. What's exciting about the airport is that if they adopt this method, they only need five minutes of takeoff time, which means that the next plane can take off and land five minutes after takeoff.

It will basically not affect the normal takeoff and landing plans of the airport, which is very attractive.

After entering the flight area, the remaining five people followed the waiting guidance vehicle one by one in a tacit understanding to queue up at each runway entrance. Looking down from the control tower, the six Novices are moving in a uniform manner with no obstacles in front of them, which is pleasing to the eye.

Controllers like the tower are so fed up with student pilots that they think of clumsy student pilots when they see the sixth instructor. Now there are six veterans flying the plane, and the plane already feels like a show even before it takes off. , the feelings between the two are more profound.

At the tower command seat was a lady in her thirties, with her SLR camera hanging around her neck. The lady at the control desk smiled and asked, "Chief Yang, do you want to take pictures of them?"

"Well, there are not many opportunities for the four heavenly kings to fly together, and they are still in the sixth grade, so I have to take a photo as a souvenir." Chief Sister Yang said with a smile.

The young lady at the control seat smiled so hard that she showed two little tiger teeth and said, "They have never flown together before, okay? They are all the experts of each airline company, and ordinary students are not brought with them. This time they are all dispatched. It's Yang Sister, are you going to the party tonight?"

"Go...go." Chief Yang hesitated.

The young lady at the control seat blinked her big eyes and said, "I heard there are a lot of soldiers, and I heard they are all very handsome. Don't you want to find another one? But you are not allowed to compete with me for the pilots, there are only two, we have reserved the control .”

"You still have a reservation." Chief Yang laughed angrily, "Stop talking so much and concentrate on your work."

"Yes!" The control girl smiled naughtily and saluted.

She gave the take-off order to the Lao Niao formation, and then handed over the command to the district management center.

Listening to the unique clicking sound of the piston engine, Li Zhan seemed to have returned to that hot summer many years ago. From that summer onwards, he fell in love with flying, found the true meaning of life in the blue sky, and then sensed the times through the aerial cannon. The pulse of the aircraft fire made him understand the spirit of the Chinese Air Force pilots.

The Great Wall made of steel with flesh and blood represents the spirit, and the Great Wall made of steel in the airspace of the motherland is the goal of our generation.

With the canopy open, we slowly climbed to 300 meters at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour and then quickly left the final airspace. Feeling the warm spring breeze, we regained the youthful feeling of the times. It's like driving back to a 212 Jeep after getting used to driving super-horsepower off-road vehicles and advanced performance cars. The rough and hard seats and the air conditioner that you turn on to cool and heat you are all mercilessly telling the passage of time.

Li Zhan stretched one hand out and opened his fingers to face the wind, shouting loudly: "D cup!"

The others didn't know what was going on. They turned around and saw Li Zhan's actions and laughed like crazy.

Captain Fang asked loudly, "How long has it been since you last taught Grade 6? I feel very good now, like driving a classic car."

I usually fly a large aircraft weighing dozens of tons, but suddenly I flew a JJVI that weighed one ton and there was no one in the back cabin.

"I haven't flown it since I graduated from aviation school. Later, I changed to civil aviation and became an instructor and brought students into regular contact with them." Captain Liang said.

Captain Gao said, "We are all instructors from various airlines and often come into contact with beginners. Xiao Li and Xiao Chen should not have flown in a while, right?"

Li Zhan said, "Yes, I have flown fighter jets, transport planes, and bombers for many years. In the past few years, I have only not been able to relive the warmth of No. 6."

"Hey, Xiao Li, you have quite a lot of accurate aircraft types. How many years have you been flying?" Captain Fang asked in surprise.

Li Zhan smiled and said, "I have been in the army for more than three years, so I am an old comrade."

"Hey, you little comrade is very irritating when you talk. It's only been more than three years and you are already an old comrade..." Captain Fang laughed, but he did not continue to ask.

Even after leaving the army, the code of confidentiality is engraved in his bones, and some things cannot be said or asked until death.

"Turn left 210, brothers, get ready to enter the training airspace." Li Zhan gave the order to the formation after communicating with air traffic control.

"clear!"

The six-machine formation turned to the southwest and entered the sky over the suburbs. Captain Gao looked down at the breathtakingly beautiful land and suddenly became interested and said, "Old Fang, here's a joke."

"Are you telling a joke? Let me think about it!" Captain Fang smiled and thought for a moment, then said, "Okay, tell a joke with a testing meaning, just four words, who laughs first and who doesn't laugh, after a while I will give conclusions one by one."

"Come on." Captain Liang couldn't wait.

These six people were as excited as a middle-aged man who suddenly had the opportunity to get away from his wife, children, mistress, and other chores at work and made an appointment to go out in an old car for an outing.

Captain Fang said, "Take advantage of every opportunity."

"Hahaha!" Captain Liang laughed.

"Hahahaha!" Another captain named Wang also laughed.

Captain Gao smiled a little reservedly and said, "There are comrades from the army here, so be careful when telling jokes."

Li Zhan and Chen Fei didn't laugh, they were both confused - is the idiom of trying to find every opportunity so funny?

Captain Fang asked, "Xiao Li Xiaochen, why don't you two laugh?"

"I'm trying to find something funny, but I didn't hear the joke. Is there any comment? Is there any answer?" Li Zhan asked in confusion. This was the first time he encountered something he didn't understand.

At this time, Chen Fei's eyes suddenly froze, and then he couldn't help laughing, "I understand, hahaha!"

Li Zhan became angry, "Hey, hey, what do you mean?"

Captain Fang said, "Xiao Li, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"

"I really don't understand. You're trying to find every opportunity. What do you mean?" Li Zhan laughed angrily.

Captain Fang changed his tone and said slowly in a tone that all men could understand, "If you find a gap, insert a needle..."

At this time, Captain Gao sighed, "It's better to be in the army. When I return to the local area, alas, the local society is just a big dye vat..."

Li Zhan still didn't understand what a simple child he was.

PS: After dinner, while smoking on the balcony, I saw a two-plane formation flying at night. I noticed that the lead plane’s navigation light was brighter and flashed for a longer time. I wondered if this was a rule. I asked the comrades in the group and answered Said yes. Really, after I finished writing this book, I probably went crazy because all these things were running through my mind. However, you get what you pay for, and it is quite a sense of accomplishment to be praised by the brothers.
