When making a big turn, Li Hai pushed hard on the rudder. When the fuselage tilted, he could overlook the earth with God's vision. Oh no, there was the Bohai Sea below.
He likes this condescending feeling very much, which can be summed up in one word - control. That’s right, control. He likes the feeling of absolute control. In the sky, the vast land can be measured with a slap. When flying a fighter jet in the sky, the life and death of all visible and tangible things on the ground and sea are in your hands.
This is a sense of superiority that dominates everything. The main reason why Li Hai chose to be a combat pilot was precisely because of his obsession with this feeling.
"Why did you choose to join the Naval Aviation?"
"I like the navy. I think that for a long time to come the navy will be the main force in expanding territory and demonstrating national strength. Joining the navy will allow me to find the value of joining the military."
"According to what you said, the Army, Air Force and even the Rocket Force can't help you find the value of joining the army?"
"Joining the Navy allows me to appreciate the value of joining the military. Chief, I want to make it clear that I do not discriminate against any branch of the military, but I personally like the Navy, especially naval aviation. I want to become a pilot who takes off and land on an aircraft carrier."
"If you just like it, I might not give you a ticket. The future is an extremely difficult battle. If you just like it, I'm worried that you won't last until the end."
"Report to the chief, I have faith!"
When Li Hai said this sentence with firm eyes, Li Zhan, who was interviewing him face-to-face at the time, put a "X" on the back of his name. Of course, anyone familiar with Li Zhan knows that it represents his approval.
In this way, Li Hai joined the first HNA carrier-based fighter pilot development class, with excellent results that were more than 30 points higher than the advance batch.
In fact, as the head coach of the growth class, Li Zhan is familiar to Li Hai and others, but the gap between the two is so huge that all students, including Li Hai, still feel that the head coach is mysterious. At the practical stage, the number of times they saw the chief instructor became less and less, and the students gradually understood that if they wanted to be personally taught by the chief instructor again, they could only become real pilots after passing the Flying Shark training. After Shark Pilot.
Li Hai never doubted that he would become a Flying Shark pilot. There was a sentence in the chief instructor's speech at the opening ceremony that he adopted as his motto - strong self-confidence is the most important trait of a pilot. When you have doubts about yourself, it means that you have begun to lose your combat effectiveness, or even your ability to fight.
"The instructor will tell you that the next action is to pedal left rudder, but you think it should be pedaling right rudder, so which rudder should you pedal? You will be confused first because you are neither confident enough nor fully trust your instructor. If you hesitate You get confused, and if you hesitate for three seconds, what's the result? You get shot down. Either it's all wrong, or it's all right, there's never an even outcome in a dogfight."
They are all people with high IQs, and they fully understand what the head coach really wants to express. They feel that the chief teacher's uniqueness begins with his opening speech. It is not a speech from a leader they have ever heard, but a refined speech that seems to have a large number of examples at your fingertips to easily convince you. It is so confident that you will feel it in your heart. Uncontrollable fear.
The head coach's instructions echoed in his ears. Li Hai, who was silently suffering the failure of his first solo career, was constantly encouraging himself at this moment. Especially after Shi Leilei reminded him that his movements were not up to standard, he became more serious and let go. All distracting thoughts arose, and I prepared myself wholeheartedly for this flight and No. 037 J-7EGGH...
In a short time, Li Hai was basically familiar with the temperament of the No. 037 J-7EGGH, just like he was familiar with the driving feeling of a car, and gradually achieved the integration of man and machine. The requirements for pilots in the training syllabus are extremely demanding. For example, blind operations are basic operations, and flying in a dark cabin is a basic subject. Pilots are required to be able to fly fighter aircraft normally in a lightless environment, which requires pilots to control the cockpit of the fighter aircraft. Know everything and develop muscle memory.
Many people say that rookies use their eyes, hands and feet to fly fighter planes, while veterans fly with a flying heart. It is a truth about the integration of man and machine, and the perfection of donkey fire.
Li Hai performed the movements according to the regular requirements for his first solo flight. Although it was just a simple flight movement, for him who was exposed to the 037 J-7EGGH for the first time, there were many things he needed to be familiar with, especially since this was still a flight. It is a meritorious fighter aircraft, and flying it requires greater psychological pressure.
Li Hai did all these things, and Shi Leilei also saw that he did it, because it was reflected in every maneuver of the fighter plane. But just like that, Li Zhan would not personally tell Shi Leilei to take care of Li Hai. Li Zhan had higher requirements for Li Hai.
Shi Leilei issued a new command: "Dong Sanguai, you've done a good job with your basic moves. How are you learning the stand-alone fighting moves? Are you sure you can complete some of them?"
After thinking for a moment, Li Hai quickly replied, "I'm sure it will be done. It's over."
"Go up to a height of 3,500 meters. Remember, you are not wearing an oxygen mask. The height cannot exceed 4,000 meters. You should perform movements 500 meters above and below 3,500 meters. Control it in this space. Let's start." Shi Leilei said.
"Understood, the ascent altitude is 3,500 meters, the maneuvering altitude is 500 meters, it's over." Li Hai took a deep breath and cheered up.
He pushed the throttle lever slightly, hesitated, and then pushed it again. He could clearly feel some frustration when the fighter accelerated. This smiling gesture was also clearly seen by Shi Leilei on the ground, who couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
Zhu Wei, who had just left Zhang Xueyang's office and came here, saw Shi Leilei's action when he got out of the car. He looked up at the No. 037 J-7EGGH in the sky to the north and said as he walked over, "Why, are you not satisfied with him?"
"I almost didn't understand. I performed well when I was familiar with the cockpit. I also completed the simple actions in front of me well, but I was not so good at the slightly more complex tactical actions." Shi Leilei, who was holding his hands behind his back, raised his right hand and pointed, "Hesitated in his movements. I’m not sure, I’m afraid this problem will become a habit.”
Zhu Wei smiled and said, "Where does this talent come from? Where do the students' habits come from? It all depends on how you, the instructors, teach. It is easy for students to learn the instructor's habitual movements."
"He is different. The one who was asked to come by the captain's name must not be compared with ordinary students. If you don't have some skills, you won't be able to catch the eye of the captain. You also know how high the standards of the captain are." Shi Leilei said.
"That's true." Zhu Wei's eyes followed the No. 037 J-7EGGH. What he was doing at the moment was cutting a small radius, a basic fighting maneuver.
He couldn't help but nodded and said, "The degree of completion is very high, not like a novice."
Shi Leilei said, "Take another look."
Zhu Wei continued to stare, this time more seriously.
No. 037 J-7EGGH performed a low-angle dive maneuver and then performed a barb maneuver. This is a tactical action that can quickly seize a favorable attack position in the rear hemisphere from the enemy aircraft's front hemisphere position. It is required to be completed within the specified time, otherwise not only will the goal not be achieved, but it will also make your situation more dangerous.
There seemed to be no problem with Li Hai's maneuver, but Zhu Wei still noticed some discomfort during the completion process. Just like when a vehicle is driving on the highway, some people will make some habitual small movements, such as shaking the steering wheel slightly from left to right, causing the car body to shake slightly from side to side. There are also some so-called experienced drivers who, when stepping on the accelerator, It happens in bursts, and the vehicle will rush and rush when it is driving, and the passengers will feel uncomfortable.
Therefore, Zhu Wei said in surprise, "This kid has developed the habits of an old bird."
"As you can see, I have to check his flight hours. It doesn't take hundreds of flight hours to develop these habitual little problems." Shi Leilei said.
Zhu Wei nodded slightly in approval, "After the new members of the Falcon Brigade complete their new training, the flying hours are generally more than 350 hours. Over a period of one year, the average flight time is about one hour a day. This is the highest in the entire military brigade. It is the highest among the senior troops."
"It can't be compared with the Falcon Brigade." Shi Leilei said with a smile, pointing to the No. 037 J-7EGGH in the sky, "As far as I know, the students in the growth class don't have many flying hours. When they use the Seamount Eagle to fly solo, they have flying hours Usually around two hundred hours.”
Flying hours are an important data to measure the level of pilots and the combat effectiveness of an aviation unit. The Falcon Brigade is a special case. Li Zhan has worked in the brigade for a long time. When he served as the commander of the main force group, he flew almost all the new training standards of the aviation force, of which the annual flying hour standard is a very important part.
It only took Li Zhan just one year to increase from less than 200 flying hours per member per year to 350 flying hours per member per year. As a result, a small group of people even made comments saying that Li Zhan actually valued the rod fees, and he was a very vulgar person who would do anything for the rod fees.
This is a serious misunderstanding of his personal character and a major blow to his deep emotions of building a strong People's Air Force.
Zhu Wei frowned and said, "These little problems that have become habits are not easy to change. Stone, your burden is very heavy."
"Isn't that right? The boss captain can also see it." Shi Leilei smiled and shrugged.
Zhu Wei looked at Shi Leilei and asked, "I was just going to ask you, why did you come back so well? Your ship is in the middle of a heavy training mission, and you, the main captain, are back to bring new recruits at this time."
Waving his hand, Shi Leilei said with a wry smile, "We'll talk about it later."
Something must have happened.
Zhu Wei did not ask any more questions, and he and Shi Leile observed Li Hai's flying movements, discussed a few words from time to time, and then decided to give Li Hai a temporary question to complete. Li Hai clearly felt that he was being treated specially, but he found that such special treatment was not a good sign, because he noticed that many of Shi Leilei's temporary questions had the meaning of investigation.
Is it an entrance exam?
If I fail the exam, will I be returned to the Seahawks?
