His eyes were as bright as a torch, his back was straight, and he suddenly raised his right hand to show Lin Jian a military salute of respect and gratitude.
This shout was like a thunder that resounded through the sky, reaching the ears, making everyone wake up, and their hearts could not help but tremble.
In an instant, the thirteen student pilots on the right, including Wang Zhuyu, Yang Min, Bai Tangfei, Yi Xuewu, Tong Yuan, Luo Zhenghan, and Wu Qiang, felt solemn in their hearts. They suddenly raised their right hands and pointed towards Lin Jian, who was directly in front of the team. Give the most standard military salute.
salute!
Between soldiers, only a military salute can express everything.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze.
"thank you all."
After specifically looking at Zhou Hai, Lin Jian glanced at everyone, took a deep breath, and raised his hand in return.
This round of tributes containing respect and gratitude comes from the most elite pilot students in the country, which is of great significance.
You know, in the near future all the fourteen students present will graduate from high-tech aircraft training and become official pilots, and their futures will be bright.
This gift is very important.
After the ceremony, get on the bus.
An imposing Zhou Hai walked at the front of the team and boarded the first Warrior military vehicle. Commander Lin Jian and instructor Yang Xiaolong followed closely behind and got into the first vehicle together.
Then, the pilot students from Shiyuan and the students from Haiyuan separated and took different vehicles. After everyone boarded, the low and powerful sound of the diesel engine sounded, and the entire convoy started driving and headed straight to the base apron area.
Arriving at the tarmac, all student pilots arrived at the equipment room, put on a series of flight equipment such as student anti-German suits, helmets, flight leather jackets and new gloves, and checked their weapons.
After the replacement of flight equipment was completed, everyone left the equipment room one after another. Under the leadership of Commander Lin Jian, they crossed the base access road and started routine inspection and cleaning of the base's main runway.
Before starting a training mission every morning, all pilots at the Quzhou base need to walk the main runway of the base and clear away gravel and debris to ensure runway safety.
This is a long-standing traditional etiquette.
The main runway of the base is three thousand meters long. It took dozens of minutes to complete a round of walking back and forth to clean up debris and gravel.
On the distant horizon, the scorching sun gradually rises, and wisps of dazzling and gentle sunlight emerge, dispelling the haziness and chaos in the dawn.
After the daily cleaning work, which is a traditional etiquette, all trainees returned to the tarmac area and prepared to return home.
It has been three months since we left the college, and everyone has a vague desire to return home.
At this moment, a total of fifteen new and old Falcons were ready. All members of the base's No. 1 Maintenance Squadron, which is responsible for maintaining student higher education aircraft, stood in front of the corresponding parking bays, waiting quietly.
Gate 31.
"Comrade Captain, the plane is ready, please check and sign for it!"
The ground crew leader responsible for maintaining the No. 109 L-15C Falcon high-education aircraft, wearing a military cap, with his back upright, holding the aviation receipt log in his hand, raised his hand and saluted Zhou Hai.
"Thank you."
Zhou Hai held his backpack and raised his hand in return. He looked at the L-15C Falcon that was already filled with fuel and mounted two 500-kg auxiliary fuel tanks in the parking bay. He walked forward and performed a pre-takeoff inspection around the fuselage.
The surface of the silver-gray fuselage has been tempered for a long time and exudes a faint smell of gunpowder, making it look like a veteran who has experienced a cruel war.
Check the fuselage and avionics equipment to confirm that they are correct, write your name in the aviation receipt log, and enter the cockpit.
The instructor on the side, Yang Xiaolong, climbed up the boarding ladder and got into the front cockpit of No. 121 L-15A Falcon.
"Buzz!"
Tens of seconds later, the furious screams of turbofan engines, thirty of them in total, spread across the student tarmac with great momentum.
"I am the lead aircraft. The aircraft of the special training squadron took off in a two-plane formation mode. The route and destination have been transmitted."
Yang Xiaolong wore a helmet, turned on the radio communication equipment, accessed the encrypted channel, transmitted the route and destination data to each aircraft through the data link, and issued orders to the special training squadron affiliated with the Shicheng Flying Academy.
"Received on the 107th."
"Received on the 108th."
"Received on the 109th."
"Received on the 110th."
Everyone's responses came from the encrypted communication channel.
"It's time to go back."
The drop-shaped glass canopy slowly closed downwards. Zhou Hai sat upright on the ejection seat, looking straight ahead, taking a deep breath, pushing up the throttle, and pushing the lever forward.
The roar of the engines became louder and louder. The fan speeds of the two WS-17 turbofan engines increased one after another, outputting high amounts of thrust. The tail ends sprayed out scorching high-temperature airflow. The L-15C Falcon parked in the 31st parking bay, Under the guidance of the ground staff, drive forward slowly.
Next to him, Yang Xiaolong drove Falcon No. 121, and the seven new and old Falcons belonging to Shiyuan drove out of the apron in order.
"salute!"
Outside the safe area, Lin Jian, the special training commander, and members of the ground team paid military salutes to every high-education aircraft and student pilots who had passed comprehensive air combat training.
At this time, No. 109 controlled by Zhou Hai and No. 121 controlled by Yang Xiaolong had already entered the taxiway.
"Call the tower, the special training squadron requests takeoff!" Yang Xiaolong, the commander of the special training squadron, held the joystick in his right hand and sent a takeoff request to the Quzhou base tower.
As the commander of the special training cadet team, Yang Xiaolong disappeared as soon as he got off the plane after arriving at the Quzhou base, enjoying a three-month quasi-vacation.
"The tower received it, the surface wind is southeast, wind speed is level 4, gust level 5, no crosswind, field pressure is 1012, permission to take off." The base tower controller held the intercom, reported the ground wind data, granted takeoff permission, and sent his blessings. : "I wish you a safe flight and a smooth return home."
"Thank you, the special training squadron is ready to take off."
After Yang Xiaolong obtained the permission to take off, he took a deep breath, turned the rudder to the right, and controlled the No. 121 higher education aircraft under him to turn right first and enter the main runway of the base.
At this moment, the voice of Yang Min, a student from Haiyuan, sounded in the encrypted communication channel: "Zhou Hai, Bai Tangfei, Wang Zhuyu and Yi Xuewu, two female flying girls, and other brothers from Shiyuan, these three months have passed. It’s very fulfilling and very happy. See you next time if we have the chance.”
Yang Min, this young student from Zhucheng, Guangzhou Province, represents HNA College.
"Yang Min, you are great. We will meet again next time. Let's take a step first." Zhou Hai, who controlled the war eagle under him, turned and slid into the main runway. After hearing the words, he raised his left hand and gave a thumbs up to express his evaluation.
After finishing speaking, he pushed up the throttle with his left hand, held the control stick steady with his right hand, adjusted the nose of the aircraft to the runway, and accelerated to take off.
Yang Min was a little surprised when he heard Zhou Hai's comments, and felt a little happy in his heart: "I am so skilled, how can I be so good?"
Zhou Hai, the number one in the Stone Academy, is already someone everyone looks up to. His evaluation, no joke, is extremely valuable.
"See you again if we are destined." Wang Zhuyu smiled, and other students from the Stone Academy responded one after another.
