Seeing these six L-15 Falcons, Wang Zhuyu and the other six people were a little confused.
"That's a high-education aircraft from the Hainan Airlines Flight Academy. Like you, we are all trainees." Sensing everyone's confusion, Du Cheng looked at the L-15 Falcons landing in an orderly manner in the distance and answered.
HNA Flight Academy is the second junior flight command academy in the country’s advanced aircraft education stage. It has the same duties as Shicheng Flight Academy, but it only faces the anomaly of naval aviation.
Well, for the Air Force, naval aviation is indeed an outlier, even though this group of guys was originally separated from the Air Force system.
However, to look down upon is to look down upon.
Nowadays, the air force with a large number of high-performance fighter jets is the real king of the sky. The naval aviation, an outlier, can only pick up the things they missed, such as the former bomb truck J-H-7, and the most advanced carrier-based aircraft. Just the J-15.
As for the last remaining army aviation unit, despite its glory outside, with its fleet of helicopters covering the sky and its overwhelming momentum, within the service system, even the Hainan Airlines, which has always been looked down upon by the air force, looks down on the army aviation.
Serious air force pilots don't even look at army aviation pilots, it's a loss of status.
Only two academies participate in the comprehensive air combat special training held regularly at this time of year - the Shicheng Flying Academy, representing the Air Force, and the Hainan Aviation Academy of Naval Aviation.
Six L-15 Falcons from the Hainan Aviation Academy adopted a two-plane formation, landed smoothly, and were guided by ground personnel before slowly heading to the apron.
"Just a moment."
Base officer Du Cheng made arrangements with Wang Zhuyu and others and walked towards the six student pilots and the leading instructor at the HNA Flight Academy.
At the same time, two other Falcons appeared in the distant sky, Falcon No. 121 and the L-15C Falcon that had not yet been numbered.
In the cabin, Zhou Hai holds the stick in his right hand with a calm expression, staring at the increasingly approaching Quzhou base, feeling the meticulous flying experience of the new Big Wife.
During this short flight of 300 kilometers, he felt that the maneuverability of this L-15c seemed to be slightly improved and more flexible.
"No. 121 called the Quzhou base tower. Two of our aircraft are changing course and requesting to land." Yang Xiaolong's voice sounded in the encrypted communication channel, issuing a landing request.
"The tower received it. The wind on the ground is due to the southeast, wind speed is level 2, no gusts, no crosswinds. Landing is allowed. The main runway is ready. I wish you a smooth landing."
The controller at the Quzhou base held the intercom in his hand and responded immediately. He pressed the relevant button on the console with his left hand to connect the onboard avionics systems of the two Falcons and transmit relevant flight data and information.
"No. 109, prepare for approach and landing, main runway, two planes." After Yang Xiaolong received the landing permission, he pressed the stick to retract the fuel, adjusted the flight attitude, and gave Zhou Hai keyword tips.
"Received on the 109th."
Zhou Hai looked at the data on the left screen, lowered the nose of the aircraft, changed the steering attitude, maintained a level attitude, and faced the main runway that was ready at the Quzhou base. He controlled the brand new war eagle under him, and the 121 piloted by Yang Xiaolong. The Falcon was only five meters away and slowly slowed down.
Five meters apart, this is close to the range of influence of the Falcon's high-speed airflow. If it continues to shrink to about three meters, beyond the distance, the two fighters will fall into the influence of each other's high-speed airflow, and the surface aerodynamic layout will suffer devastating damage, which will trigger the flight ACCIDENT,
"Buzz!"
Accompanied by the scream of the engines, the two old and new Falcons displayed a unique momentum and lined up side by side. The noses of the aircraft were slightly raised, and the main and auxiliary landing gears slowly stretched out to face the ground runway.
The attitude was level and stable, the underbelly landing gear was the first to touch the ground, the nose landing gear was behind, the aviation tires wiped out a burst of smoke, the speed brakes and flaperons were fully opened, and the deceleration parachute was deployed.
A few seconds later, the two old and new Falcons landing side by side chose to release their parachutes at the parachute release area on the runway. The hard-working parachute pickers, wearing hats and suffering from the direct sunlight, rushed to the runway to complete the work.
It's late April and Quzhou has been shrouded in heat. The temperature today is 30 degrees Celsius, and the ground temperature is as high as 40 degrees Celsius.
After leaving the main runway of the base, Zhou Hai and Yang Xiaolong were guided by ground staff and drove to the apron at a slow speed of 30 kilometers per hour.
"No. 121, are those people also trainees?"
Zhou Hai looked through the cockpit glass and saw the seven Wang Zhuyu people waiting quietly, as well as the base officer Du Cheng and seven HNA flight academy personnel. He was a little confused.
Yang Xiaolong responded: "Well, that's right, students from the HNA Aviation Academy will participate in this year's special training together."
HNA Flying Academy? ——
Zhou Hai heard this and thought for a moment. It seemed that the brand new Big Wife under his body was snatched from the HNA Flight Academy quota.
Who cares, just grab it, it’s just Hainan Airlines, we are the Air Force.
After thinking about it, Zhou Hai raised his head slightly, with a proud expression on his face, showing off his unique demeanor as an Air Force pilot.
Air Force, this word is no joke.
Under the sign language guidance of a ground crew member, the two old and new Falcons turned to the right, drove into the shed-style aprons of No. 30 and No. 31 respectively, and stopped steadily.
The loud engine scream quickly slowed down and disappeared. Zhou Hai turned off the main fuel supply switch and the fluorite onboard avionics system, opened the glass canopy, and then cut off the power supply.
After this series of operations, Zhou Hai unbuckled his seat belt, took off his sunglasses and helmet, picked up his personal backpack placed on the back seat, and followed the boarding ladder just set up by the ground crew to the concrete concrete floor of the Quzhou base. concrete floor.
Quzhou!
Over the next three months, he would learn real dogfighting.
"Comrade Captain, this is glucose water to replenish energy." A young mechanic with a serious face raised his hand in salute. He held the professional glucose water prepared by the base nutritionist in his left hand and handed it to Zhou Hai.
"Thank you, please excuse me. This is a new machine. Help me put the number 109 on the nose of the machine." Zhou Hai took the bottle of transparent glucose water, raised his hand in return, and thanked the young mechanic.
The young mechanic nodded: "Okay, comrade captain."
"Don't be so serious, we are all brothers."
Zhou Hai laughed and shook his head, unscrewed the lid, and took a sip. The warm glucose liquid containing high energy flowed through his throat, entered the body and was directly absorbed. After saying something, he turned and walked to the No. 30 tarmac next door.
Hearing this, the young mechanic was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Zhou Hai to be so peaceful and not at all like a normal pilot.
Yang Xiaolong had just gotten off the plane. He was a little tired and his forehead was covered with sweat. He was sitting in a chair, drinking glucose water to replenish the lost energy and restore body functions.
"Comrade Yang Xiaolong, Comrade Zhou Hai, hello, my name is Du Cheng. I am responsible for the daily life management of the trainees within three months."
At this time, base officer Du Cheng came over, followed by two soldiers, saluted Yang Xiaolong and Zhou Hai, with a gentle expression on his face, and introduced himself.
