fighting!
The only way for every high-education aircraft pilot student to transform into a formal and rookie pilot is to understand the meaning of combat and master comprehensive basic air combat skills.
However, the transition from pilot to combatant is generally undertaken by modification training.
Successfully graduated higher-education aircraft pilot students are assigned to a group, exposed to genuine advanced fighter jets, and led to fly solo. After passing the assessment, they become official pilots and perform combat readiness duties.
Now, as a pilot student in the crash course of Shicheng Flying Academy, Zhou Hai will receive comprehensive basic air combat training in advance.
"OK."
After hearing these words, Zhou Hai knew what he meant, took a deep breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and kept a calm mind.
However, the most important thing now is to fly to Hongdu to receive the new aircraft.
At this time, the second ground crew leader responsible for maintaining No. 121 straightened his back, held the aviation receipt log and a black signature pen in his left hand, and raised his hand to salute Yang Xiaolong:
"Report to Teacher Yang, the aircraft is ready, please accept it."
Yang Xiaolong nodded in return, walked around the L-15A Falcon, inspected the engine and cockpit avionics system in detail, took the sign-in log, wrote his name, and confirmed the acceptance.
Boarding the plane, with Yang Xiaolong in front, Zhou Hai entered the larger rear cockpit and hugged the package.
"Buzz!"
The slightly harsh sound of the Russian-made turbofan engine sounded. The turbofan accelerated from slow to fast, and high-quality aviation fuel was supplied. Ten seconds later, with the assistance of the ground crew, the engine started normally.
The L-15A Falcon with 121 white numbers painted on its nose sprayed out high-temperature airflow and slowly slid out of the apron. The ground crew who retreated to a safe area raised their hands in salute.
Yang Xiaolong and Zhou Hai immediately returned the greeting, then looked straight ahead and performed the operation. The war eagle under them turned and drove out of the apron and entered the slightly narrow apron access road.
At this moment, the turbofan engines roared loudly in the airport apron area. A total of three L-15C Falcons and four L-15A Falcons left the apron and headed towards the airport taxiway.
"Now I order all the special training squadron aircraft to prepare for takeoff. The No. 107 aircraft is temporarily serving as the deputy leader and will fly directly to the Quzhou base." Yang Xiaolong wore a helmet, held the stick in his right hand, stared ahead, and looked at the seven War Eagles gliding slowly behind him. give an order.
"Yes, received on the 107th."
Wang Zhuyu responded immediately, his words were calm and powerful.
As the former king of the crash course, Wang Zhuyu had always been at the top of the crash course's performance before Zhou Hai showed up. He was the fastest to fly solo, the first to fly and master the L-15C Falcon, and the longest flight distance was 1,900 kilometers.
This girl from the south of the Yangtze River is worthy of the title of the Beloved Lady of Heaven.
His flying experience and number of flying hours ranked first in the crash course. Wang Zhuyu was given the position of temporary deputy team leader, and Yang Xiaolong was relieved.
"boom!"
In an instant, the engine screamed louder and louder, and No. 121 was shrouded in hot and dazzling sunlight. After receiving permission to take off from the tower controller Lin Ying, it submerged into the main runway of the airport. The tail nozzle dragged out a sharp orange-red high-temperature tail flame. Speed up and glide.
The L-15A Falcon, which was taxiing for nearly 300 meters and fully loaded with fuel and a 500-kg auxiliary fuel tank, had reached the critical speed for takeoff. The nose of the aircraft was slightly raised, and the attitude seemed a little bulky. The wings cut through the dense and invisible air and swept into the distance. clear blue sky.
Today is a good weather.
Wang Zhuyu, who served as the temporary deputy team leader, issued various orders on the encrypted radio channel, and transmitted the route and destination to each special training squadron aircraft through the battlefield data link.
On the ground, one after another Falcon High School, which is part of the crash course, drove into the airport's main and auxiliary runways one after another, adopting the difficult take-off mode of a single runway and two-plane formation. Under the watchful eyes of the ground staff and many flight students, they faced the sky and walked along the Flying on a southeasterly route.
The main fleet of the special training squadron went straight to Quzhou.
No. 121 flew due south to Hongdu, the place where the August 1st Army Flag was born and the first airplane was born, more than a thousand kilometers away.
The top of the troposphere, 12,000 meters high.
The entire L-15A Falcon, painted in silver gray, blends into the blue halo and sunlight, with two slender white trail clouds trailing behind its tail, flying at a standard cruising speed of 850 kilometers per hour.
"Teacher Yang, during this special air combat training, do we have a chance to fly the J-10?" Wearing sunglasses, Zhou Hai asked a question he had been thinking about for a long time.
Yang Xiaolong's words contained a joking tone: "It's not like daydreaming. Do you want to fly the J-10 in three months? Let's graduate from higher education first."
If a pilot wants to fly a new aircraft model, he must go through a strict modification process for the new aircraft, relearn relevant knowledge, and master the performance and driving skills of the new aircraft. Only after passing the assessment can he be granted permission to fly the aircraft model. The entire process takes a normal time. Usually one year.
As the main third-generation aircraft in China, the operational difficulty and airframe performance of the J-10 are completely different concepts from the L-15C Falcon.
If nothing else, the J-10 can easily crush the L-15C Falcon based on its maximum takeoff weight alone.
"Actually, I think if I can learn it, I can still fly the J-10 solo in three months." Zhou Hai smiled slightly, and then continued to ask: "By the way, Teacher Yang, what are the specific contents of this special air combat training?" What is it?"
"First, in the early stage, familiarize yourself with the mode of modern air combat, master mid-to-high-level air combat maneuvers, have you flown the Cobra maneuver? Go to the Quzhou base to learn this stuff. The low-altitude and ultra-low-altitude penetration you want to learn are also here. Second, In the mid-term stage, there will be live-fire training, ranging from machine guns to various types of missiles in the near, medium and long range, as well as the fine tradition of our army - rockets."
Yang Xiaolong smiled and slowly told the details of this comprehensive air combat training: "Third, in the later stage, we will engage in close combat with the J-10a veteran, one-on-one, if you win, you will be promoted, if you lose, you will be eliminated, until Decide the final victory or defeat. The fourth, final stage is to learn the modern air force’s systematic combat model and fight around the clock. In short, it is to train towards combatants.”
As the words fell, there was silence in the radio encrypted communication channel.
Cobra maneuver?
Ultra-low altitude penetration?
Live firing of various types of missiles from machine guns to near, medium and long range?
Close combat and systematic combat modes?
This series of technical terminology for air combat made Zhou Hai feel a huge wave in his heart. He breathed heavily and was a little unbelievable, and all kinds of yearning pictures appeared in his mind.
Big deal!
Absolutely generous!
He is about to bid farewell to basic flying movements and basic air combat movements repeated thousands of times, and learn more advanced air combat maneuvers.
"Why, stop talking?" After seeing no reply for a long time, Yang Xiaolong looked at the blue sky in front of him and joked.
"I am indeed a little surprised. Teacher Yang, with training like this, the aircraft accident rate should be very high, right?"
