Pengcheng base, airport runway area.
At the end of April, the sky is clear and the weather is hot.
The sun hanging in the blue sky was like a blazing furnace, releasing unbearable heat and burning the entire world.
"Buzz!"
At ten o'clock in the morning, the roar of two aviation engines with different rhythms came from the sky far away from the base.
This is the most familiar sound of the ws10c omnidirectional vector engine.
The J-10D Fire Dragon with the nose number 009 is flying in the lead position on the left, and the J-10D Fire Dragon with the nose number 012 is flying in the right wingman position. The two war eagles, filled with science fiction atmosphere, are bathed in the hot sunshine. , heading straight towards the straight main runway of the base.
On the mountain wall of the base, inside the tower, the lights were bright and all the equipment was running. The controller on duty held an optical telescope and watched the two war eagles landing slowly.
slow down,
landing.
The process was smooth and smooth, without any abruptness, and revealed a trace of elegance that was not in line with the J-10d 'Fire Dragon'.
"Report to the tower, this is Haiyan Squadron Leader Overlord. He has landed successfully and the flight training mission is over." In the No. 009 cockpit, Su Peng controlled the fighter plane to slow down while reporting to the tower controller through the radio.
The controller's calm and powerful response came over the radio: "Tower received, confirm the order."
"Zero, how is your physical condition? Can you support a long-distance flight?"
After reporting the situation to the control tower in accordance with standard procedures, Su Peng glanced at the J-10d No. 012 who was following closely and asked seriously.
This flight patrol mission lasts about an hour and consumes both physical strength and energy. As the lead aircraft and commander, Su Peng must inquire about the physical condition of his wingman to see if he is qualified for the upcoming flight mission.
After more than 20 days of waiting time, Zhou Hai and Su Peng, who had undergone a comprehensive physical examination and obtained the real tickets, ushered in the crucial day for their personal flying careers this year - April 24th, which was originally scheduled. Date of departure to Qingcheng Aircraft Carrier Base.
At 8:30 this morning, as two people with quotas for new carrier-based aircraft modification training, they have received a notice from deputy team leader Lin Jian to confirm the mission and fly the J-10D fighter for a long-distance transfer to the Qingcheng aircraft carrier base.
"Everything is fine, no problems."
Zhou Hai had a smile on his face, a calm voice, and seemed to be in a very good mood. He looked straight ahead, gently pressed the stick with his right hand, stepped on the rudder, and adjusted his taxiing state and position.
The one-hour comprehensive flight training was easy for him, not even a warm-up.
However, this is not important.
What is really important is that the more than 20 days of new carrier-based aircraft modification training have arrived.
To be honest, after waiting for so many days, Zhou Hai was already impatient and eager to witness the true appearance of the new carrier-based aircraft in Lushan.
For more than twenty days, Zhou Hai's life was completely fixed - eating, training, researching, sleeping, all in a normal schedule.
Go out for drills, organize housekeeping, regularly conduct high-intensity comprehensive tactical training that emphasizes actual combat, undertake regular combat readiness duties, and study and improve interception models.
Life is a bit boring, but after having phone contact rights, Zhou Hai adds an extra spice to his life - he calls other girls every three days to express their inner feelings to each other and enhance their relationship.
"Okay, Zero, we will leave after replenishing fuel." Zhou Hai's answer was not unexpected. After being in contact with Su Peng for so long, he naturally knew that this guy had amazing physical strength. He nodded, stepped on the rudder, and controlled the war eagle that was gradually slowing down. Skidding off the main runway of the base,
One hour of comprehensive flight training consumes about 40% of the airborne fuel, and the remaining 60% of the airborne fuel can not fly to Qingcheng.
This long-distance transfer mission for two aircraft requires a direct flight to the Qingcheng base and no landing in the middle.
"Yes, Zero received." Zhou Hai responded.
The No. 012 J-10D skidded off the main runway one after another. Soon, the two War Eagles returned to the No. 2 cave hangar in working condition.
Return, reception.
In the No. 2 cave hangar, the lights were bright, and there was no Colonel Yang or other base veterans gathering to see them off. Everything was normal. There were only Liu Honglin in uniform and a group of ground staff belonging to the Second Ground Service Squadron.
The modification task of the new carrier-based aircraft that HNA is responsible for is highly confidential, and the level of confidentiality has reached level three. Except for Colonel Yang who knows a little bit about some basic contents, the other base veterans have no right to know, and it is even less likely that Zhou Hai and Su Peng are about to go to Qinghai. city.
In the cave hangar, the two War Eagles returned one after another and were parked steadily. Su Peng and Zhou Hai disembarked and were waiting. Liu Honglin and other ground crews were busy operating at full capacity.
replenish fuel,
Mount high-capacity conformal auxiliary fuel tanks for long-distance flights,
Basic inspection before takeoff,
Although it is an ordinary fuel replenishment, all basic links are indispensable. For ground crew officers and soldiers, they must ensure flight safety as much as possible.
"Zhou Hai, are your personal items ready?" While Liu Honglin and other ground staff were busy, Su Peng was checking the flight backpack and counting the personal items he carried.
The specific time for this modification training is uncertain, ranging from a few months to half a year. All food and accommodation will be at the Qingcheng base. You need to carry a tactical tablet, a gun, and a full set of flying equipment.
In addition to these, pilots participating in modification training are allowed to carry some personal belongings.
Su Peng brought some miscellaneous personal items, such as the electric razor given by Tang Mengqiao and a red Chinese knot made of folded pink paper.
When he first received the electric razor and the red Chinese knot that symbolized peace, Su Peng often showed off in front of Zhou Hai and the veteran pilots at the base.
Zhou Hai smiled: "Ready."
He has no personal belongings, only a concept phone album and three intimate and private photos that he carries with him at all times.
"That's okay."
When Su Peng heard this, he nodded, continued to check the flight backpack, counted personal belongings, and confirmed that everything was correct. Then he breathed a sigh of relief as if he was relieved.
Time passed slowly. A few minutes later, Liu Honglin walked over, with his back straight, holding two aviation receipt logs and a black signature pen, and raised his hand to salute Su Peng and Zhou Hai:
"Reporting to the two captains, the aircraft is ready, please accept it."
At this time, a group of ground staff had completed their preparations.
The two Warhawks were refilled with fuel, and a high-capacity conformal fuel tank was hung on each wing of the left and right wings to ensure that they could fly to their destination in one go.
In like new condition and ready to go.
"Trouble!"
Su Peng and Zhou Hai both nodded, raised their hands in return, and quickly circled the fighter aircraft in accordance with the regulations, checking carefully to confirm that it was correct. Then they took the exclusive aviation receipt log, wrote their names in their own hands, and accepted it.
