Leave the main runway and drive along the narrow taxiway to the apron area not far away.
In the endless metal shed-style apron area, war hawks painted with gray paint and the Argentine Air Force flag pattern are parked neatly. Two Qingjiaos are located in the third and fifth aircraft stands, and behind them are There are three Bluebirds at different intervals between available seats, for a total of five aircraft.
The space between the planes is one of the basic methods to confuse satellites.
The two Qingjiaos drove through the access road one after another, and under the command of the ground staff holding red and yellow flags, drove into the No. 1 parking space and the No. 2 parking space.
In the parking bay, two Alfang ground support teams who had passed strict assessments and mastered fighter aircraft logistics and maintenance techniques immediately surrounded the War Eagle after it was safely parked. They set up tire holders and boarding ladders according to the procedures, and entered into intense and busy work. state.
Released the joystick with his right hand, Zhou Hai took off his bee-eye helmet, disconnected the data connection, shut down the avionics system and engine with both hands, and opened the drop-shaped glass canopy.
Climbing down the boarding stairs and standing on the cold cement floor, Zhou Hai stared at the honorable No. 001 Qingjiao fighter with a faint smile on his face. His fingertips gently slid across the cold and smooth gray fuselage surface, and he lowered his head. whisper
"It's time for us to say goodbye. It's been a pleasure getting along with you during this time. I'll serve you well in the future. I wish you shoot down more enemy planes."
The No. 001 fc20x Qingjiao, which embodies the hard work and wisdom of Academician Yang Wei, is the first Qingjiao in South America and the first Qingjiao with two kill marks.
Farewell is imminent, and it has become an instinctive habit for Zhou Hai to say goodbye and bless every war eagle he has flown.
The atmosphere in Gate 1 seemed slightly depressing.
Qingjiao No. 001, who has a lot of honors, seemed to understand Zhou Hai's words, revealing a vague aura of sadness and reluctance.
The Alfang ground staff standing around did not come forward to interfere, but just watched silently.
With a smile, Zhou Hai inspected the No. 001 Qingjiao fighter for the last time. After the inspection was completed, he left together with Rosal who got off the plane at No. 2 and faced Bavino and Captain Fugu who were standing not far away.
"Reporting to Comrade Captain, I have successfully completed the last flight training mission and led the trainees to return to the ground safely. Please return to the team."
Arriving three meters in front of everyone, Zhou Hai stopped, stood tall in military posture, with a solemn and solemn face, and loudly reported to the captain Fugu.
"Comrade instructor, you are allowed to return to the team." Fugu stared at Zhou Hai, returned the greeting, and issued the order.
"yes"
Accompanied by a sonorous and powerful voice, Zhou Hai, under the gaze of all the trainee pilots, walked forward with the steady pace required by the queue, arrived at the last position of the instructor team going to Afghanistan, and stood in a military posture.
"Report to the general, pilot baker requests to return to the team." Rosal, who was exhausted, raised his hand and saluted Bavino and reported loudly.
Looking at young Rosal, Bavino nodded with satisfaction, "Baker, you are allowed to return to the team."
"Hello, Comrade General, I went to Argentina as a flight instructor team with four members. During the four-month training period, we trained a total of 20 Argentine pilots who met the qualification requirements. The pass rate was 833. We successfully completed the original teaching mission and delivered the tasks during the training period. 4 Qingjiaos and 4 Bluebirds were shot down, and one Bluebird was shot down, achieving the record of shooting down two Typhoons."
After Zhou Hai returned to the team and stood up, Captain Hegu followed the content and requirements of the ceremony, turned around and saluted Major General Bavino, and briefly read out the situation in the past four months: "According to the secret agreement between the two parties and the order of superiors, our instructor team and ground staff The squadron will leave for home immediately.”
The sonorous and powerful words swept around like rushing water and poured into everyone's hearts.
The missions of the instructor team and ground support squadron have been completed and they need to leave for home.
The Chengdu Aircraft Technical Group and the guard force will still stay here. The former needs to complete the assembly tasks of all Qingjiao fighters, and the latter is for protection.
Bavino suppressed the excitement in his heart, looked at the four instructors who were sent to Argentina, and bowed slightly to salute, "Comrade captain, three comrades, on behalf of the entire Argentine Air Force, I would like to thank you for your selfless help and dedication. We are not far away." Thank you for arriving in Argentina after thousands of miles, imparting valuable flying skills and igniting the fire of hope for us."
grateful.
At this moment, there is only one word of thanks.
The fire containing hope has been lit, not the spark of hope. Just add more wood and fire to burn a bright future.
The light that belongs to the Argentine Air Force
"All of you, salute the Chinese flight instructors." After thanking him, Bavino's loud and emotional voice spread.
"Shua"
All Albanian pilots and ground crew members saluted the four men in unison.
There were no flowers, no laughter, no grand farewell ceremony, just a simple farewell that could not be simpler.
Today, with the help of the instructor team and technical team, the Argentine Air Force already has 4 fc20x Qingjiao, 3 fc20s Jade Bird, and 20 third-generation semi-fighter pilots who have mastered basic flight technology and combat capabilities. Its comprehensive strength has grown from Among the air force systems of all parties in South America, it has become the tenth air force in South America.
In addition, the remaining 16 Qingjiao fighter jets that are part of the first phase of the procurement plan have been secretly transported across the ocean and secretly transported across the ocean to the heavily guarded Port of Madryn, bypassing many checkpoints under the noses of the United Kingdom and the United States, and completing delivery.
On the other side of the world, Chengdu Loma is working overtime. The Qingjiao fighter production line is in full swing, busy producing a total of 50 second-phase fighters worth more than 10 billion for the Argentine Air Force, which has priority supply rights. purchase order.
Now, the Argentine Air Force has been re-armed by the extremely cost-effective Qingjiao fighter jets and embarked on an eye-catching rise. The dazzling light can inspire the courage of the once-proud Royal Falklands Air Force, Chilean Air Force and Brazilian Air Force. Saying once an answer that has never been said in thirty years No
A no requires courage and courage, and it also requires a certain degree of strength as a foundation.
In the future, with the seeds of pilots, the Argentine Air Force will become stronger and stronger until it reaches the peak of 70 fc20 Qingjiao fighters, surpassing the Chilean Air Force with 57 f16 Falcon fighters, and becomes the well-deserved number one air force in South America. strength.
"The ceremony is over"
Putting down his right hand, one of the proud men of Argentina burst into tears.
There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. The simple farewell ceremony on the tarmac was over. The four instructors from the Afghanistan team returned to their dormitories and packed their luggage.
Zhou Hai first went to the flight equipment room of the base to return the anti-German suit and flight equipment, and then returned to the instructors' dormitory building.
