The surface of the fuselage seems to be smoother when the fingertips are lightly traced.
This feeling is slightly strange.
In the evening, the red clouds reflected the sky.
At the beginning of April, a hint of heat has come to mind, and the temperature seems to be higher this year.
Under the setting sun in the distance, two Shanying B-type high-education aircraft that were out on flight training missions slowly lowered their flying altitude, faced the main and auxiliary runways of the airport, and landed smoothly one after another.
Apron No. 16.
"call!"
Hu Jun, who was staying in the air intake on the right side of the fuselage, exited. His whole body was almost soaked with sweat, and his forehead was covered with crystal clear sweat beads. He raised his arm and wiped it with his clothes, and exhaled a filthy breath.
"Master, here it is." The young mechanic standing next to him held a bottle of salt and sugar water in his hand and handed it to Hu Jun.
Young mechanics learn maintenance and support skills from older mechanics, which is a long-standing tradition in aircraft maintenance.
Hu Jun nodded lightly, took the salt and sugar water, and took a sip to replenish water: "Well, Xiao Peng, this new aircraft is in better condition and easier to maintain. You should study hard and check it carefully."
"Yes, Master."
The young mechanic Xiao Peng nodded and asked quietly: "Is that student pilot going to stop flying and change careers? Why did he start doing maintenance with you? Isn't he learning too fast?"
"Comrade Xiao Wang, your thinking is very abnormal. What do you mean I have to be grounded? I need to learn maintenance techniques so that I can have a deeper understanding of the status of the aircraft." At this time, a familiar and calm voice came from the lower side of the aircraft. out.
Zhou Haizheng was squatting on the rear landing gear under the belly of the fuselage, with a little dust on his face and sharp eyes, carefully inspecting each tire and landing gear structure.
"Uh..." When the young mechanic Xiao Wang heard this, he was suddenly confused and a little at a loss.
He can guarantee that what he said was definitely a whisper.
What's going on?
Can the ears be so pointed?
Seeing the serious disciple's expression, Hu Jun couldn't help but smile: "Zhou Hai, haven't you checked it yet?"
"Comrade Lao Hu, check the maintenance principles you taught me carefully. When you are done, go check the engine tail nozzle. I still have a while here." Zhou Hai responded while searching carefully, his face focused and serious, and he didn't give up at all. Go through any blind corners and blind spots.
The landing gear structure plays an important role in the normal and safe take-off and landing of the aircraft and flight safety, which cannot be ignored.
Although the L-15C Falcon has only been officially in service for less than 40 days, it still requires careful inspection.
After experiencing aircraft maintenance for an afternoon, Zhou Hai, who has fully mastered the maintenance process and steps of the L-15C Falcon, learned this precious inheritance exclusive to the aircraft maintenance force - carefulness and rigor.
Every part of the war eagle, no matter how big or small, needs to be carefully inspected to ensure it is correct.
"It's time, Xiao Wang, finish the security work and go have dinner."
After hearing Zhou Hai's words, Hu Jun took a deep breath, rubbed his waist with his hands to relieve the dull pain, and said to Xiao Wang beside him: "By the way, Zhou Hai, let me inform you that the ground maintenance stove does not care about you. Food for the flight crew.”
"Are you so picky?" Zhou Hai smiled, his eyes still focused, searching and inspecting the landing gear parts carefully.
Hu Jun said calmly: "It's very picky."
After saying that, he and the young mechanic Xiao Wang walked towards the tail end of the War Eagle to check the tail nozzle.
"Zhou Hai, how did you learn this afternoon? Did you learn anything from following Lao Hu?" At this time, Yang Xiaolong, who was wearing regular clothes, stepped into the tarmac, bent down and looked down at Zhou who was squatting and searching with a tire probe. Hai, smiled.
Seeing Yang Xiaolong, Zhou Hai immediately got out from under the belly of the aircraft, straightened his body, and saluted and greeted: "Hello, Teacher Yang, I have learned a lot of things that I have never been exposed to before. Through this study, I have learned a lot from l -15c Falcon is more closely connected."
"As long as you can learn something, don't be so serious, just relax. You've performed very well these two days. It's your first solo flight the day after tomorrow. Remember to perform well."
His eyes were fixed on Zhou Hai, whose face was covered with dust and stains, and he looked carefully. A look of relief appeared in his eyes. Yang Xiaolong stood with his hands behind his back, raised his hand in return, and said with a kind face and a smile:
"Also, I have some good news for you today."
"Good news?" Zhou Hai was a little confused.
The left hand hidden behind his back stretched out, holding a standard light yellow envelope. Yang Xiaolong said with a smile: "This is a letter forwarded from Kongda. The old squad leader forwarded it to you. The first sender is Zuo Xue. Is she your girlfriend? Cherish her girl. By the way, I haven't seen it, but I have checked it."
letter.
This is the second letter from Zuo Xue.
"yes!"
At this moment, as Yang Xiaolong's words fell, Zhou Hai trembled all over. Without daring to hesitate or delay, he quickly stepped forward and took the standard format light yellow letter from Yang Xiaolong's left hand.
"Okay, let's leave the maintenance work to Lao Hu and the others. The time is up. Go back and eat. Your health is the most important thing. I don't want to see you have problems." Yang Xiaolong reached out and patted Zhou Hai's shoulder. With a kind smile on his face, he said:
"Remember and cherish."
After giving instructions, he turned around and left, leaving some private space.
"Lao Hu, Xiao Wang, I'm leaving first." He paid a military salute to Yang Xiaolong and watched him leave. Zhou Hai held the letter in his hand and shouted to Hu Jun and Xiao Wang who were busy on the shed-style apron.
Hu Jun, who carefully inspected the tail nozzle of the WS-17 turbofan engine, responded with a smile: "You should have left long ago."
"Goodbye, Comrade Zhou Hai." Xiao Wang did not dare to be presumptuous and responded normally.
Zhou Hai waved to the two of them, picked up the pilot's helmet and the anti-German suit, took off the letter, and left, walking on the empty tarmac area.
Xiao Wang, who was staying at the tail of the plane, looked at Zhou Hai's retreating figure and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, this guy is finally gone. I thought he really wanted to switch to aircraft maintenance."
"Work hard, someone can learn more in an afternoon than you can in a week."
…
As the sun sets.
On the distant horizon, the glow illuminates the sky and covers the cumulus clouds of various shapes, presenting a scene of sunset over the western mountains.
Zhou Hai was alone, walking on the empty road illuminated by the rays of the sun. To his right were the majestic war eagles parked neatly.
"Buzz!"
The sharp and high-pitched sound of the turbofan engine came from the distant sky, growing louder and louder from weak to strong. An L-15A Falcon covered in red feathers approached the base's runway No. 1 with an elegant and stable attitude. .
"I don't know what your answer is."
Holding the light yellow envelope gently in his right hand, his eyes were focused on it. A faint smile appeared on Zhou Hai's face, free and easy.
The letter is slightly heavy, with a faint outline protruding out. It seems that it is not just a thin text. There is a stamp in the upper right corner and an orchid that is about to bloom and contains an ethereal atmosphere.
