"Rosal Plando, the first batch of Albanian trained pilots, a captain pilot of the Air Force, you have obtained the qualification to fly the FC-20S 'Blue Bird' fighter jet and have flown it for 10 hours and 3 minutes, reaching the standard of solo flight. Now you have The Flight Instructor Corps and the Afghan Air Force Command agree to grant you the qualification to fly solo, are you ready?"
War Eagle!
In the No. 2 parking bay, there is a Jade Bird fighter plane that is as beautiful as a work of art. It is brand new and shiny, painted in silver gray, with the Argentine Air Force’s digital combat number printed on the nose. A blue military emblem is painted on the middle part of the tail.
This is a Bluebird fighter aircraft belonging to the Argentine Air Force. It rolled off the assembly line three days ago. It was officially put into service after passing the inspection and acceptance by the Argentine Air Force and a simple welcoming ceremony. It gathered hundreds of people from the Lockheed Martin technical team for dozens of days. Every night’s hard work and energy.
Our five-person ground crew and five Albanian ground crews are preparing for takeoff around the Blue Bird, refueling, loading weapons, ammunition and auxiliary fuel tanks.
"Report to the instructor, I'm ready!"
After hearing the content of the official document announced by Zhou Hai, Rosal, who was wearing a bee-eyed head sight, wearing a standard anti-Dutch suit and an Albanian pilot uniform, had a solemn face, and looked at the young Zhou Hai with his eyes, showing an uncontrollable expression. A look of excitement and respect.
The whole person stood up in a military posture consistent with Chinese soldiers, raised his hands in salute, and his body was filled with determination.
Fly solo!
After more than 20 days of hard training and staying up late to study, Rosal, who won Zhou Hai's favor with Chinese, successfully passed the new aircraft flight simulation assessment and obtained the qualification to fly the Jade Bird fighter. After Zhou Hai's careful teaching, he led After ten hours of flying, he obtained the qualification to fly solo and became the well-deserved first pilot to be trained.
"Be careful to control your emotions. Today is your first solo flight. The mission includes low-altitude flight and close combat training at sea, as well as Cobra maneuvers."
After Zhou Hai finished reading, he put down the official document, looked at Rosal, who had a serious face and maintained a student attitude, told him about the training content, and gave the order: "Check and board, remember to be careful."
"Yes, instructor!"
After hearing this, Rosal tried his best to calm down the turbulent emotions in his heart. He looked at Zhou Hai who was like a teacher, nodded, and turned to face the Bluebird fighter that fascinated him.
Although Zhou Hai is young, he has won his inner respect with his strength.
Rosal has not forgotten the scene yesterday of Zhou Hai flying a Blue Bird fighter plane out of the Cobra maneuver!
cobra!
Proud cobra!
When the Blue Bird fighter jet performed this maneuver, it was a blockbuster, shocking the audience and sensationalizing the entire base. All the doubts and doubts deep in the hearts of all the training pilots disappeared.
At this time, the ground support teams of both sides have completed takeoff preparations, filled with fuel, and mounted two high-capacity auxiliary fuel tanks, two SD-9B infrared point source combat missiles, two SD-10 fourth-generation active missiles, and 300 23mm Armor-piercing incendiary bombs, all serious guys.
As the top performer in the fourth group of the training team, Rosal kept in mind the experience and rigorous attitude conveyed by Zhou Hai and carefully inspected every corner of the Blue Bird fighter to ensure that it was correct.
rigorous!
This is the idea conveyed by instructor zero. There is nothing trivial in aviation, and risks must be reduced as much as possible.
"good."
Zhou Hai watched Rosal's inspection steps and attitude, smiled and nodded with satisfaction.
The training during this period was not in vain. Rosal's fastest solo flight exceeded the original estimates of Major General Bavino and the Albanian Air Force, allowing him, the flight instructor, to receive an additional bonus from the Albanian Air Force.
The bonus is 5,000 yuan, which is equivalent to 736 US dollars, which is considered a windfall.
Don't think that this money is not much, it is enough for him to buy more than 3,000 bags of melon seeds at a cost of 1.5 yuan, and he will have no problem until the end of the year.
After Rosal inspected the Blue Bird fighter, Zhou Hai, an instructor, conducted a re-inspection to confirm that it was correct, and then jointly wrote their names in the aviation receipt log.
"Fly alone, don't panic, you must be calm, understand?" Zhou Hai put down his black pen and looked at Rosal, who was already sitting in the front cockpit of the Blue Bird, and reminded him.
"clear."
Rosal, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, was not impatient at all about Zhou Hai's explanation and nodded seriously.
Just remind me once, no need to say more.
Zhou Hai turned around and left the parking space No. 2, went to the parking space No. 1 next door, put down the official documents, picked up the bee-eye head and took a look, and faced the Qingjiao fighter with a faint aura of pride.
The single-seater Qingjiao is the only one in the entire French base and is temporarily used exclusively by flight instructors.
The assembly workshop, which was completed and put into use more than half a month ago, has assembled one Qingjiao and one Bluebird each and rolled off the production line. After passing the acceptance inspection, the two War Eagles were officially equipped with the Argentine Air Force and are currently in secret service.
Since the trained pilots of the four groups are all in the late stages of flight simulation and early stages of flying, only flight instructors with certified pilot qualifications can fly the extremely powerful single-seat Qingjiao.
Those who do not have pilot qualifications are strictly prohibited from flying on the aircraft. This is a common trend among air forces around the world.
Want to fly a special aircraft?
Okay, everything follows the process.
"Instructor Zero, pay attention to safety when going on a mission."
In the No. 1 parking bay, the accompanying ground support squadron leader Zhang Ziyun, wearing a work uniform, stood beside the Qingjiao fighter and reminded Zhou Hai.
"Thanks, Lao Zhang, I will pay attention." Zhou Hai was startled, thinking of something in his mind, and smiled at Zhang Ziyun.
The whole person circled around the brand-new Qingjiao fighter, carefully checked to confirm that it was correct, and wrote their names in the aviation receipt log.
Weapons configuration is identical, all live ammunition, in excellent condition and ready to go.
Climbing the boarding ladder, entering the narrow drop-shaped glass cockpit, sitting on the ejection seat, Zhou Hai put on the bee-eye head sight, connected the data interface with the avionics system, turned on the main power, and waited for the avionics system to activate automatically. After the inspection, he pressed the canopy closing button and spoke sign language to Zhang Ziyun.
"Buzz!"
Zhang Ziyun nodded in understanding, and cooperated with a mechanic to connect the external power supply to provide auxiliary power supply. After more than ten seconds, the roar of the genuine S-10A 'Taihang' resounded throughout the surroundings and entered the idle working state.
Immediately afterwards, a ground staff signaled permission to slide out, and Zhang Ziyun and others quickly evacuated to a safe area.
Zhou Hai responded with sign language, his eyes looked straight ahead, and the bee-eyed head sight projected the comprehensive flight parameters on the lenses. He pushed up the throttle with his left hand, and controlled the green dragon under him to slowly slide out of the cover of the light gray metal hangar. Turn right and head to the base runway.
"This is Zero. I am the captain and you are the wingman. Baker, you are allowed to slide out." Zhou Hai opened the encrypted communication channel and gave the order.
This trip, the blue sea!
