One machine, one copy, no confusion.
The pen fell and the two boarded the plane.
"Buzz!"
The drop-shaped canopy slowly closed. The specially adjusted No. 009 J-10D Fire Dragon, which had been waiting in the take-off section, was operated by Su Peng. After more than ten seconds, with the assistance of the ground team, the interior still maintained high temperature. The turbofan engine starts running normally, reducing the wear of internal parts of the engine, and the body receives power supply.
As the ground crew signaled permission to slide out, No. 009 slowly taxied out of the No. 2 cave hangar.
After the No. 009 Su Peng aircraft was released, the No. 012 J-10D was towed to the take-off section by a tractor. Zhou Hai, who stayed in the cockpit, quickly cooperated with the ground support team to start the turbofan engine.
The engine roared loudly, and streams of high-temperature air spurted backwards like a turbulent torrent. Following the instructions to allow the slide out, Zhou Hai performed the operation.
At this time, Liu Honglin and others, who quickly retreated outside the safe area, raised their right hands to pay military salute to No. 012 J-10D who was about to leave.
Raise your hand in return and press the lever forward.
Zhou Hai looked straight ahead. The war eagle, covered in silver and gray and showing a unique temperament, glided forward, left the hangar in a steady and elegant manner, and disappeared into the hot sunshine outside.
Today, April 24th.
Time, 10:10 am.
"I don't know how long this separation will last, and I don't know what I will encounter when I get on the ship for modification training."
Surrounded by the sun, inexplicable colors appeared in his deep eyes. He stared at the slowly gliding No. 009 in front of him. He glanced at the familiar Pengcheng base around him from the corner of his eye. Zhou Hai thought silently in his mind and instinctively controlled the J-10D with his right hand: "Waiting for so long. Jiujiu, what is your true face?"
The long-awaited modification training has arrived, but I don’t know how long it will take.
I don’t know what will happen when I finish training.
The answer to the third most critical and tantalizing question is again – I don’t know.
Two J-10Ds, one behind the other, drove down the taxiway of the base. There were no flowers, no superiors and comrades to send them off, and no waves of warm applause to congratulate them. The whole process looked like an ordinary flight. Task-like, ordinary.
Except for Yang Tianming, no one in the entire base knew what Zhou Hai and Su Peng would do.
As an Air Force pilot, he participated in HNA carrier-based aircraft training without transferring to HNA. This was the first and unprecedented thing in decades.
"boom!"
The vast and flat concrete ground was filled with heat waves. When Su Peng issued the takeoff application and obtained the takeoff permission and detailed ground parameters from the base tower, a high and exciting roar sounded.
In the blink of an eye, the two war eagles that slid into the main runway of the base shot out like arrows and accelerated along the main runway.
accelerate!
After taxiing for 260 meters, they reached the critical point of takeoff. They pulled the lever back and the nose of the aircraft slightly changed the angle of attack. The two Warhawks, fully loaded with fuel and wrapped in aerodynamic force, jumped away from the constraints of the concrete runway like a dragonfly touching water.
"Zero, climb to an altitude of 13,500 meters, heading east-north, with a total range of 1,655 kilometers. The route data has been transmitted. The weather forecast shows that it is raining heavily at the Qingcheng Aircraft Carrier Base and the meteorological conditions are complex."
After taking off, Su Peng raised the nose of the plane by pulling the lever with his right hand, and glanced to the right at the War Eagle that was following him tacitly about ten meters away. While giving various instructions, he transmitted the data to No. 012 J-10D through the battlefield data link with the authority of the lead aircraft. route and specific data, and finally reminded: “Also, remember to wear sunglasses or switch your helmet to sunshade mode, the ultraviolet rays are very strong today.
"Zero received, data checked, switched to sunshade mode."
After receiving the order, Zhou Hai responded immediately. He clicked on the large central screen with touch screen technology with his left hand to view detailed route data, and then issued voice commands to Rui Yan Head Miao.
The right hand pulled the lever and stepped on the rudder, and the J-10D raised its nose, keeping a safe distance from the No. 009 J-10D, in a climbing state, and faced the endless blue sky.
"drop!"
At the same time, as the command is issued, the avionics system responds, and detailed route data charts are presented in the display lens. The sharp-eye head sight quickly switches to a sunshade mode that blocks sunlight and ultraviolet rays to protect the wearer's eyes and avoid A condition that is severely affected and causes vision loss.
I have to say that the sun is indeed a bit fierce today, and the temperature is close to 28 degrees Celsius.
At the end of April and towards the beginning of May, the unbearable heat is approaching.
The nose of the aircraft was kept at a high elevation angle, and the left and right wingtips tore through the thin clouds and fog. Soon, the two war eagles, whose silvery gray and white sunlight blended together, had climbed to the predetermined altitude, crossed the limit of the top of the troposphere, and changed to level flight. out.
Standing at the top of the sky at an altitude of 13,500 meters, the two war eagles were bathed in the boundless blue halo and hot sunlight, trailing white trail clouds at their tail ends, traveling at a speed of 852 kilometers per hour. Flying at economical cruising speed.
Direction, east by north.
Target - Qingcheng Aircraft Carrier Base 1,655 kilometers away.
After more than a month, it is time to arrive in Qingcheng, thousands of miles away, to unveil the mystery of this new carrier-based aircraft and find out.
At this time, Overlord's voice came over: "Zero, I forgot to mention that we should keep a low profile when we arrive at the base, especially you, who have not participated in free air combat yet. The participants in this new aircraft modification training should all be masters. Among them There is no shortage of HNA’s carrier-based aircraft experts.”
"Uh, Overlord, could it be said that this time the new aircraft modifications are all for the Air Force's free air combat championship?"
Zhou Hai, who was thinking silently in his heart, clicked his tongue when he heard the Overlord's words. However, he was not distracted or too surprised in his heart. He calmly thought about it and was a little curious: "Also, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
This is brand new news about the types of pilots participating in the new aircraft modification training.
Master!
You must know that this is the master mentioned by Su Peng, the golden helmet pilot, and its meaning is naturally self-evident, meaning a master of the same level and strength.
This time the new aircraft is modified, all the champions of free air combat are used?
Darling, this is not simple, and the situation seems a bit unexpected.
But why didn’t Team Su say this earlier?
"No, how could they be all gold helmets? You think they don't cost money? They are very strong anyway, so this is more important." Su Peng twitched the corner of his mouth and glanced at the No. 012 J-10D in the wingman position, his face slightly embarrassed. He responded: "Ahem, the deputy team leader mentioned something to me before, but I forgot about it. I just remembered it."
He had indeed forgotten that after recently having a girlfriend, he was often happy and showing off when he had nothing to do, especially when he received small gifts such as an electric razor and a red Chinese knot.
After setting foot on the road to Qingcheng base today, I suddenly remembered what deputy team leader Lin Jian reminded me.
Okay, important reminder.
"..."
Zhou Hai was speechless. He suddenly felt that the lead aircraft and commander was not very reliable. He was too lazy to care about these things. His eyes showed a wise look, and his mind began to think quickly like a computer:
"The participants are very strong. This is more important. What does this mean for modification training? Assuming that everyone is strong and powerful, this should be a good thing. It can increase the pass rate of new aircraft modification, but why Colonel Lin wants to remind you emphatically? It’s a headache, the information currently available is too little to analyze and deduce.”
After much thinking and deduction, I couldn't find the answer to the question at all.
Zhou Hai had no choice but to sort out his thoughts and found that there was still no result, so he had to give up temporarily and chose to arrive in Qingcheng to see if he could get the answer.
Unreliable.
This Comrade Changji is really unreliable.
As time passed, with this new problem and doubts in mind, the two J-10Ds formed a two-plane formation, leaving the Sichuan Basin in the southwest and flying towards Qingcheng, a mountainous province in the north-east.
