During the riot, all the cars that could be driven out of the airport were driven out. In order to ensure safety, all the cars were filled with heavy objects to increase their own gravity and avoid being blown over by the wind. Vehicles lined up at a certain distance on both sides of the runway, all with their headlights on, marking the runway with light.
Although no one knows whether pilots in the sky can see the airport with temporary runway lights through the clouds. But, so what if you see it? The ground crew couldn't help but look up at the sky. The raindrops hurt their faces. If they didn't lean to the side where the wind was blowing, they would be blown down.
The wind is still increasing.
Can a plane land in such weather?
Not to mention that the ground staff at the Forgotten Reef Airport have never seen it before, in the history of world aviation, there has never been an example of a successful landing in strong winds close to level 10!
So most people understand that there is a high probability that the pilot will not come back. But people on the ground have to do something and not give up any hope before the results appear.
Li Hai realized the possibility of a successful landing, even if he successfully found the Forgotten Reef Airport. Xue Zhengrong was very sure of this, so he was even more anxious!
"Alternate to the always prosperous airport! Boy! Alternate to the always prosperous airport! That's the nearest airport!" Xue Zhengrong smashed his fist on the command table and said through gritted teeth.
The J-8F's internal fuel capacity is enough to fly to the Yongxingwang Airport a thousand kilometers away for landing. As long as Li Hai does this immediately, instead of wasting time at the Forgotten Reef Airport!
When Xue Zhengrong saw J-8F No. 81103 flying firmly towards Forgettable Reef, he was extremely anxious! He didn't know if Li Hai hadn't thought of the Eternal Prosperity Island a thousand kilometers away. In short, the only choice at this time was to fly there!
Only by doing this can Li Hai have the greatest hope of survival.
Even if he parachuted in the waters near Forgotten Reef, Xue Zhengrong was not sure of getting him back. In such weather, not to mention that rescue boats with a displacement of hundreds of tons cannot be dispatched. Even if they risk being dispatched, it will be difficult to conduct search and rescue work in extremely harsh sea conditions.
What did Li Hai think?
He did not forget that there is an airport on Forever Prosperity Island, and he also knew that was the only place to go. The flight squadron stationed at the Forgotten Reef Airport does not have an alternate airport. The J-8F has a maximum range of only 2,000 kilometers and a combat radius of approximately 700 kilometers.
Under normal circumstances, the J-8F taking off from the Forgotten Reef Airport cannot use the Yongxingwang Island Airport 1,000 kilometers away as an alternate airport.
Li Hai took off on a search mission this time with an auxiliary fuel tank mounted on it, with a maximum range of 2,800 kilometers. Therefore, he had enough fuel to fly to the Forever Prosperous Island Airport for an alternate landing, even though he had frequently used engine afterburners before.
The problem is that he must land at Wangjijiao Airport as soon as possible and report the specific situation of Nanyu 33076!
The crash is nothing, the worst is to meet Wang Wei in the sky, but before that, the vital information must be sent back to the ground!
"He's coming! He's coming!" a staff officer stood up and shouted excitedly.
Xue Zhengrong quickly looked over. On the radar screen, J-8F No. 81103 corrected its course and aimed at the Forgetting Reef.
He couldn't help but smile for the first time tonight, "This kid is hiding his secrets. How did he detect the heading deviation? Aerial charts and airborne radar alone cannot achieve such accuracy."
"I guess it's a feeling." The staff officer grinned.
The oppressive atmosphere in the tower has been somewhat relaxed, which is the only good sign so far. However, the weatherman's deep voice rang out again: "Xue Da, the gust is reaching level 10, and there is no possibility of landing."
Everyone's mood sank once again.
Xue Zhengrong asked in a deep voice, "Is there a window? Look for the window as soon as possible, even for a minute!"
"Xue Da, it's a typhoon now." The weatherman shook his head slightly and said.
Yes, this is not an ordinary low weather situation, this is a typhoon! There is a level 10 gust. What kind of aircraft can land under such wind force? It’s simply a fantasy!
The tower fell into silence for a long time again. Only the monitoring equipment was making a slight beeping sound. Sometimes it was even quiet enough to hear the electromagnetic interference sound of "rustling" coming from the headset.
The staff officer guessed correctly, and Li Hai finally adjusted the course based on his feeling. For the first time in tonight's flight, he relied on his senses. There was nothing else he could do. In fact, Li Hai did not know that this course adjustment was aimed at the Forgotten Reef. His plan was to adjust the course again until he found the Forgotten Reef after flying a certain distance!
There is no genius, he is just risking his life!
A large reflected signal suddenly appeared on the airborne radar display. With almost no need for analysis, Li Hai immediately judged that it was the Forgotten Reef!
Li Hai descended to an altitude of 3,000 meters and took off his oxygen mask. He was covered in sweat and didn't feel good enough. He cursed secretly, then took off his flight helmet and threw it aside. Only then did he feel a sense of lightness. .
If you don't succeed, you will succeed. Whether it works or not depends on this!
A strong crosswind suddenly hit from bottom to top, blowing continuously, the fighter plane was overturned, tilted to the left and rolled. Li Hai's whole body rolled with the fighter plane, and the sense of space he had maintained so well before was instantly destroyed.
Li Hai is very calm, he doesn't feel any nervousness. To be precise, when he knew that he would take off to perform a mission in such weather, he had been doing psychological construction and was mentally prepared to practice the military oath. Technically, he was mentally prepared for emergencies like this.
He has been waiting!
J-8F No. 81103 rolled violently and was messy in the strong wind. Li Hai did not recklessly maneuver the steering wheel to resist the wind. He just kept the two engines running at full power, rolling, messy, rolling, and messy again with the force of the wind.
The flight altitude and flight speed drop rapidly during the roll maneuver, which is an extremely dangerous signal and means that the aircraft is rushing towards a stall. The most critical thing is that once the pitch angle exceeds the envelope, Li Hai will face a stall and spin situation.
He hasn't had any actual training in recovering from a lost spin.
Xue Zhengrong saw that the flight altitude of No. 81103 suddenly dropped by more than a thousand meters, and immediately judged that something had happened, but he could do nothing but stare at the radar screen.
On the runway, Dang Weimin stood beside a truck and stared blankly at the dark sky. The darkness was so deep and bottomless that it seemed to swallow everything in the world.
Just a dozen hours ago, he suffered from inexplicable airsickness in the sky. It was because his mental quality was not as good as he imagined. Now we are encountering bad weather that turns from a tropical storm to a typhoon. The fishing boats are in danger and are in urgent need of rescue, which suddenly changes the nature of the wind prevention and typhoon resistance work.
So many things happened in less than twenty-four hours, today is really a long day...
Now, his best comrade is lost in heaven.
The Party for the People suddenly slapped a few loud mouths on itself, how could it be possible to just sit back and watch!
He knew there was a way to guide Lehi's landing, and only he could do it!
