The towering tower, the straight main runway, the short, narrow and upturned land-based simulated ski-jump takeoff runway, the sparkling swimming pool reflecting the dazzling morning sun, the very familiar Qingcheng base, just a short distance away from No. 578 J-15 'Flying Shark' There is only the last three thousand meters left.
The closer to the main runway, the safer it is.
"Forget-me-not, how is the situation? The base is ready, and the fire trucks are about to arrive at the emergency landing area." At this time, the steady and calm voice of the Qingcheng base tower controller came out from the encrypted communication channel of the airborne radio, without any hint of nervousness. Please give me a brief briefing.
When dealing with extremely dangerous air conditions, the tower responsible for dispatching and commanding must not be flustered or nervous, and speak calmly, even relaxedly, to avoid affecting the pilot's emotions as much as possible.
"The aircraft is in normal condition, the parameters are stable, and the remaining fuel on board is 6%, and it is about to approach and land."
The young carrier-based aircraft pilot codenamed "Forget-Me-Not" heard this and looked at the three multi-function displays in the cockpit again. His speech was normal and he didn't care that the female Chinese prompts from the airborne avionics system were heard again and again in his ears.
The three multi-function displays adopt a left-right and center layout, and the screens display densely packed various complex flight parameters.
The middle display shows comprehensive parameters such as the electronic level gauge and the remaining amount of onboard fuel.
The left multi-function display shows a series of important flight parameters such as altitude, airspeed, vacuum airspeed, ground speed, fuel pressure, etc. The values are stable and normal.
On the right multi-function display, there is a high-definition fuselage structure diagram composed of blue lines. The left engine part at the end of the fuselage is red, indicating a fault. The fault icon in the upper right corner of the screen flashes at a high frequency, revealing a touch of red. Light.
Now, the body condition is temporarily normal and has not deteriorated further, so it is barely good.
"Very good, forget-me-not, don't be nervous, keep going steadily, your altitude is too high now and you need to lower it."
The middle-aged controller who was staying in the tower offered encouragement, his voice still the same as before. He held a military high-power telescope in both hands and stared at the J-15 dragging billowing white smoke in the northwest, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Received the forget-me-not, lower the altitude and prepare to approach and land."
Staring at the Qingcheng base just around the corner, the pilot Forget-me-not looked calm and unusually calm, as if his beloved beneath him had never experienced such a thing as being wrapped in high-temperature flames and experiencing first-class love.
Although, this was the first time in his life that he had been exposed to a first-class accident that was almost like death.
calm.
Calm.
careful.
Are you saying you're not nervous?
Fake.
A fighter plane that breaks down and catches fire is like a heavy cloud bomb that is ready to explode at any time. The aircraft has a mass of more than ten tons and contains hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of aviation fuel. Its power is so terrifying that it can blast an aircraft with a radius of 100 meters. The area instantly turned into a hell on earth, leaving no trace of his body.
However, no matter how nervous and scared it is, it doesn't make any sense.
Because - it is impossible to change the cruel facts, and it is even less possible to save this valuable and beloved war eagle and avoid heavy losses of national property.
The person pressed the stick slightly with his right hand and stepped on the right rudder with his foot. He carefully controlled the heavy aircraft whose maneuverability and comprehensive performance had dropped to the lowest level. He gradually changed its flight attitude and prepared to land on the runway of the emergency landing area.
Bathed in the endless sunshine, the J-15 'Flying Shark' slowly adjusted its slightly tilted posture and gradually faced the straight and slender main runway of the base.
Now, he only needs to hold on to the last distance before he can pilot the War Eagle to land safely in the emergency landing area.
"It seems that the aircraft's condition has not continued to deteriorate and it should be able to land safely."
At the edge of the swimming pool, Su Peng stood there, watching the J-15 'Flying Shark' slowly descending in height and posture. He felt slightly relieved and reminded Zhou Hai, who was standing next to him, to evaluate his initial hope. Elevated to the same level of 'should' as Zhou Hai.
Yes, although this word still contains uncertainty, it has a much better meaning than hope.
Through visual observation, the tail end of the fuselage was burning with flames and thick smoke was emitting from the J-15 'Flying Shark'. Although it looked critical, fortunately, the condition of the aircraft did not seem to continue to deteriorate to the point of no return.
this is a good news.
"Flying back, first-class merit should be enough."
When Zhou Hai heard Su Peng's words, he nodded slightly and commented: "However, we should wait until we land safely."
As long as this J-15 pilot handles the situation properly and lands safely in an extremely dangerous fighter aircraft, he will be able to achieve first-class personal merit.
First-class personal merit!
Yes, that's right.
Saving a J-15 means avoiding major property losses to the country, which is completely enough to meet the evaluation standard of first-class merit.
You know, the purchase price of the J-15 is as high as 400 million yuan, which can be called a luxury among luxury goods.
Four hundred million!
A total of 400 million, in RMB, is a huge amount of 58 million U.S. dollars.
Whether it is 400 million yuan or 58 million U.S. dollars, it is an unimaginable astronomical figure for any ordinary family. Even if they work hard for ten lifetimes, they cannot earn it.
Even if it's a super rich man, it's enough to make his body ache.
Moreover, it is not just the fighter plane itself, but also the most precious flight data of the malfunctioning fighter plane.
The morning light was gorgeous and soft. In the swimming pool rest area, Dai Deminmeng and all the training members paid close attention silently. Their eyes with inexplicable colors stared at the No. 578 J-15 that slowly crossed the blue sky and left a long white smoke.
"Um?"
At this time, an inexplicable sign suddenly appeared in Zhou Hai's heart. His heart beat faster, as if he had realized something, and his brows frowned slightly.
Su Peng was confused: "What?"
"There seems to be danger, but I'm not sure what it is..." Zhou Hai's eyes suddenly became serious, his hairs stood up slightly, his face changed, he was a little confused, he looked around and said seriously.
The omens were very familiar.
Because it symbolizes danger!
"Danger?"
Su Peng was stunned for a moment, and with a serious look on his face, he chose to believe Zhou Hai.
"Buzz!"
In the sky, the familiar sound of engines gradually weakened. The S-10A turbofan engine working on the right side reduced its thrust output and exited full-load operation.
The J-15, which had already flown into the airspace in front of the base, slowly protruded the main and auxiliary metal landing gear from under the belly of the aircraft under the control of the pilot's forget-me-not. While adjusting its flight attitude, it headed towards the backup emergency runway in the emergency landing area of the base.
Crash landing is imminent and victory is in sight.
However, at this moment, something strange happened!
The entire slowly-flying light gray war eagle suddenly changed its original flying posture, raised its proud and slender black head, and pointed directly at the blue sky. It was like a white swan raising its proud head, bathed in soft and brilliant colors. In the light yellow morning light, it is elegant and holy.
All of a sudden, everything was revealed, originating from the Soviet craftsmanship and the noble blood of the Oriental Shen Hoy flowing deep in the blood.
The posture of the white swan, the noble blood of Shen Hoy, and the hard work of Academician Sun Cong constitute the unique Dongfang J-15.
At this moment, the picture seems to be frozen.
beautiful.
Beauty is noble, beauty is elegant.
However, such a beautiful scene in front of me is as dangerous as a snake or a scorpion!
problem occurs!
Looking at this scene, Zhou Hai's pupils shrank.
