There was an indescribable sense of relief in his voice.
Although in this comprehensive single-machine assessment, the target drone modified by J-6 Grandpa was not attacked with live ammunition as required, Zhou Hai was very satisfied with being able to destroy an armed drone of the same type with his own hands.
"The tower received it, the surface wind is southeast, wind speed is level 3, no gusts, no crosswinds, landing is allowed. Student No. 1, congratulations on your return."
The base tower controller looked at the war eagle in the sky and picked up the intercom: "With the permission of the special training commander, your aircraft can pass through the field at low altitude. The base runway has been cleared."
Upon hearing this order, Zhou Hai's eyes lit up and he was a little surprised. He immediately responded: "Student No. 1 received it."
After finishing speaking, he pushed up the throttle with his left hand, steadily controlled the war eagle beneath him, lowered the altitude, adjusted the flight attitude, and accelerated towards the main runway of the base.
This sudden low-altitude passage was definitely a big surprise.
In the apron area of the base, many trainees were waiting quietly. No one knew that Zhou Hai had been attacked by a drone just now.
Yang Min looked at the No. 109 L-15C Falcon that was gradually descending in the sky. He exhaled a breath and said with some expectation: "Zhou Hai is back. It seems that the assessment should be fine. Live ammunition attacks the target drone. Think about it. It’s exciting.”
"It shouldn't be a problem. I can only use absolutes to describe Zhou Hai. As long as this guy doesn't encounter any unexpected factors, he can pass the staged assessment twice as difficult." Bai Tangfei looked at the time displayed on his watch and shook his head repeatedly.
"Yeah, the gap between us and him is so big, it's simply incomparable. This year Shiyuan has Zhou Hai, and our Haiyuan can't catch up. The leaders above will be ridiculed again."
Yang Min sighed and wiped the dust on the surface of his helmet with his hands: "Forget it, let's not mention Zhou Hai."
Mentioning Zhou Hai is definitely a frustrating and sad thing. This guy's performance is so dazzling.
As HNA students, the relationship between Yang Min and Bai Tangfei, and even the relationship between the two students, is not as incompatible as fire and water as imagined. Instead, it has become much deeper over time.
Look down on each other?
Those are the big guys up there.
"Sister Wang Zhuyu, are you ready? It's your turn soon." Yang Min turned his attention to Wang Zhuyu standing next to him and blinked.
"Thank you, I'm fine."
Wang Zhuyu, who was holding an airplane model in his hand and pondering the trajectory, gave Yang Min a polite smile, looked at the sky, and suddenly noticed a change in the returning L-15C Falcon: "Well, what's going on with Zhou Hai?"
The No. 109 L-15C Falcon returning home did not show a slightly upward landing attitude. It maintained a level flight, lowered its altitude while maintaining speed, and shortened the distance from the main runway of the base. There was no sign of an unstable forced landing as expected.
"Zhou...fuck, low-altitude clearance?!" Yang Min immediately turned his attention to the silver-gray L-15C Falcon. After a brief observation, his eyes widened and he was a little shocked: "It's expanded, Comrade Zhou Hai has expanded, he Aren't you afraid of being punished?"
The speed is stable, the altitude continues to decrease, and it flies over the base runway. Isn't this the most enviable low-altitude pass?
However, if a low-altitude pass is carried out without permission from the tower and disrupts normal order, even a regular pilot will be severely criticized and punished.
In serious cases, formal punishment will be imposed.
The trainees who were waiting on the tarmac of the base were in a panic. Their eyes were all focused on the L-15C Falcon flying at high speed from the other end of the main runway.
"boom!"
The scream of the engine resounded all around. Zhou Hai held the control stick tightly with his right hand, looked at the flight parameters given on the left screen, and looked straight ahead. The war eagle under him still dropped to a flying altitude.
The speed is 400 kilometers per hour and the altitude is 3 meters.
However, this was not enough and did not meet the standards required by Zhou Hai.
5 meters!
2 meters!
5 meters!
Under the attention of the trainees at the Quzhou base, many official pilots and base tower personnel, the high-speed flying L-15C Falcon shortened its height relative to the concrete surface of the base's main runway below to the limit of one meter and passed the base tower at high speed.
At the moment of flyby, Zhou Hai, who was in the drop-shaped glass cockpit, held the pole with his right hand and raised his thumb with his left hand as a courtesy.
"one meter?"
The tower controller was startled for a moment, looked at the flight parameters given on the console screen, and then looked at the L-15C Falcon flying almost close to the ground, his eyes full of disbelief.
One meter high!
This is a level that only top pilots can achieve!
Are the flying skills of Student No. 1 already comparable to those of top pilots?
Lin Jian, who was standing on the J-10 apron area of the base, had a smile on his face: "This kid really dares to fly one meter high."
In the Quzhou base, many students, official pilots, ground staff, etc. were all involved in a sensation as the L-15C Falcon passed through the field at low altitude.
"Call the tower, the low-altitude clearance is completed, student No. 1 requests to land."
Using a method that can be called an ultra-low-altitude passage, passing by the base runway, tower and other buildings at high speed, Zhou Hai, with a smile on his face, steadily pulled the lever to climb, preparing to turn around and land.
He had to admit that the experience of flying through the field at low altitude was excellent and very exciting, just like the feeling of touching someone else's wife for the first time, no, it was even slightly better.
"Student No. 1, permission to land, your skills are very good." After hearing this, the tower controller came back to his senses, gave permission to land again, and expressed his heartfelt praise.
This flying technique is simply amazing.
"Thanks."
Zhou Hai was not polite and happily accepted the compliment. He flew at a height of one meter. This was also the first time in his flying career and he was worthy of pride.
Turn around and lower the lever.
The L-15C Falcon, which attracted the attention of most of the officers and soldiers at the base, landed smoothly with an elegant posture and returned to the apron along the taxiway.
After Zhou Hai got off the plane, after a period of commotion, today's single-machine comprehensive assessment was carried out normally. Wang Zhuyu, who was the second-best student, boarded plane No. 107 and began his own phased assessment.
In the comprehensive single-machine assessment, the special training headquarters has spent a lot of money. Every trainee will launch a genuine PL-8b infrared point source missile to attack the target aircraft modified by J-6 Grandpa.
The ex-factory price of a PL-8B is 1.05 million yuan, and a modified J-6 Laoye target drone is worth 2 million yuan. Excluding the fact that Zhou Hai failed to destroy the target drone, the cost of the entire round of live-fire shooting was as high as 40.7 million yuan.
40.7 million!
This sum does not include the high cost of flying.
It is true that pilots are made from gold.
In the afternoon, as the last HNA student passed the assessment, the phased assessment was officially concluded, and all students passed the final result.
…
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed.
The sky is blue and the sun is shining brightly.
At this moment, a battle related to the maintenance and support of the air service kitchen garden in the Quzhou base is about to begin. To put it more simply - whoever loses gets to pick up the manure.
