"Just come back."
The forty-five-year-old captain Xu Jian, with traces of time on his face, nodded to Yang Xiaolong who was standing aside. He turned his head and looked towards Zhou Hai. He looked carefully with his eyes, a look of satisfaction flashed across his face, and he raised his hand in return without saying a word. Talk a lot.
It is enough if a person is fine and can return home safely.
This was the third time that Captain Xu Jian met Zhou Hai, and he really paid attention to this student pilot who had just entered the Shicheng Flying Academy.
Zhou Hai's solo performance today and his handling of unexpected accidents were almost beyond Xu Jian's imagination.
It's a natural pilot, a superb piece of material.
"Zhou Hai, good job." Lei Qiang, the deputy captain standing next to him, raised his hand in return and expressed praise and praise.
Zhou Hai's expression remained the same and he said modestly: "Deputy Captain, you have given me the award."
"What an award? You deserve it. 99% of student pilots cannot deal with this situation in time. Your performance today is very good." Lei Qiang shook his head slightly. He is in charge of the daily affairs of the students, so he naturally understands Zhou Hai Normal situation: "After returning this time, take a good rest and wait until the psychological observation period is over before flying again. Is there any problem?"
"No!" Zhou Hai replied loudly.
Hearing Zhou Hai's powerful answer, Xu Jian nodded, and Lei Qiang showed a kind expression. After giving one or two instructions one after another, he turned around and left in the car, leaving some space.
After the captain and deputy captain left, the serious atmosphere on the 14th apron disappeared and relaxed instantly.
Even though captain Xu Jian rarely shows up, when he gets serious, only senior leaders in the entire college can resist him.
"Zhou Hai, you can do it as a student. This is the first time I've seen you, Old Hu, in so many years. In one word, I'm convinced!" Hu Jun, the ground support team leader, gave Zhou Hai a thumbs up and sighed from the bottom of his heart.
The same was true for other members of the first ground support team and the three comrades in dormitory 308. They all raised their usual thumbs up to express their inner admiration. .
admire!
I sincerely admire you!
To be honest, when the news spread that Zhou Hai flew solo for the first time on a two-plane transfer exercise mission and encountered a sudden accident and forced the landing of his fighter plane, the entire academy flight student team exploded. Xiao Nan, Zhao Ziqing and others who had completed their training , simply stunned.
Encountering high-altitude jet air, recovering from a super-low-altitude stall and tail spin, and making an emergency landing due to a bird strike—everything is a situation on the verge of life and death.
No matter which pilot student encounters this situation, he will be blinded, let alone the combination of the three to form a terrifying hell-level difficulty.
However, when Zhou Hai encountered a series of sudden accidents, he remained calm and did not panic. He dealt with them one by one and used unimaginable flying skills to finally successfully land the L-15C Falcon on the highway, saving the fighter plane and precious flight data. .
You know, even most official pilots don't have such a mentality and flying skills.
"Old Zhou, you are really awesome." Xiao Nan, who is the number one veteran in dormitory 308, gave a thumbs up and was speechless.
"ox!"
Zhao Ziqing and Han Li felt the same way and could not describe their thoughts in words.
Zhou Hai smiled and said nothing.
"Peace is best."
Wang Zhuyu on the side gently stepped forward, with short wet hair and eyebrows like willow leaves. He was wearing a blue training uniform soaked by rain, with drops of water dripping from the corners of his clothes and cuffs, and extended his blessings to Zhou Hai.
"Thanks."
Looking at Wang Zhuyu, who was all wet, and then at Bai Tangfei and Yi Xuewu on the right, Zhou Hai smiled politely and nodded lightly.
To be honest, Zhou Hai didn't expect Wang Zhuyu and the others to come here.
However, you can’t chase people away even though they are here.
Others are willing to come and see you and care about you. This is a sign of their sincerity.
"Comrade Zhou Hai, you broke our crash course record again. You're awesome. Just be fine."
"Zhou Hai, take care of yourself."
Bai Tangfei and Yi Xuewu stepped forward one after another to express their blessings. They were equally wet, as if they had just been fished out of the water.
"Thank you and thank you for your concern. Thank you very much."
Zhou Hai stared at the two people with a serious look on his face, his eyes were like a torch, he looked around at the people on the tarmac and solemnly thanked them.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Being able to wait in the heavy rain and finally send a seemingly simple condolence and care is enough to show everyone's heart.
Hearing Zhou Hai's words, Hu Jun, mechanic Xiao Wang and other ground crew members showed honest smiles. The three people in dormitory 308 and Wang Zhuyu all smiled.
Outside the tarmac, the rain kept falling, and it seemed to be getting worse.
Countless raindrops hit the roof of the tarmac, making a crackling sound, and then gathered in the drainage channel, forming a slightly turbid stream of water that fell to the concrete floor.
…
Inadvertently, time passed by, and three days had passed since the last unexpected accident.
College camp area, indoor swimming pool.
A swimming pool with a standard size of 50 meters x 21 meters and 8 meters is used. The water is clear and blue, with sparkling water and rippling blue waves.
"call!"
Zhou Hai, wearing swimming trunks, swam fifty meters one way, swung his legs, swam from the bottom to the surface, and exhaled.
"Comrade Zhou Hai, are you okay? Diving for a long time is not good for your health." A young soldier stood on the swimming pool, holding a tactical tablet terminal in his hand, looking at Zhou Hai who surfaced, and said softly.
Zhou Hai shook his head: "I'm fine."
As a pilot temporarily grounded and entering a period of psychological observation, Zhou Hai, who does not need to undergo physical training, is enjoying a short vacation under supervision.
The entire vacation started three days ago, and life returned to a peaceful state every day. I got up in the morning to clean up the house, eat and read, wander around when nothing was wrong, maintain and support fighter planes with the ground crew leader Hu Jun, and brag with the leader of the cooking team Wang when nothing happened.
If your hands are itchy and you want to shoot, you can go to the deputy captain Lei Qiang to apply. After getting permission, you can go to the indoor shooting range to start live-fire shooting training. Well, it is shooting in the popular sense.
Not only did the Air Force not restrict or prevent pilots from practicing marksmanship, but they actually liked it and encouraged them to practice marksmanship and shoot as many bullets as they wanted.
Life is leisurely and peaceful every day, and I go to the shooting range from time to time.
When you are grounded and on vacation, you should have fun.
Perhaps the only flaw in holiday life is that, except for sleeping and going to the toilet, there is always someone following and supervising, monitoring in real time, and recording data every two hours.
Swinging his legs along the current, floating on the water, Zhou Hai smiled at the young soldier, leaned back, assumed a backstroke posture, and swam slowly toward the other end of the pool.
Swimming is also one of the basic skills that pilots must master.
Zhou Hai had a whim today. After lunch, the weather was quite hot. Under the envious gazes of Xiao Nan and the others, he went to the indoor swimming pool of the college to experience the feeling of swimming.
"Zhou Hai, I need to see you if I need something." At this time, Yang Xiaolong stepped into the swimming pool and shouted to Zhou Hai, who was swimming backstroke in the water.
