No wonder Xue Zhengrong, when he knew that two pilots were coming over, said that currently there were only five pilots including the two who were transferred back to participate in the confrontation exercise. The two coming over did not know how to fly fixed-wing fighters at all, and the shortage of pilots at Forgotten Reef could not be solved in the short term. situation.
This arrangement is quite strange. From Xue Zhengrong's point of view, no matter how you look at it, there is no reason to put two helicopter pilots on temporary duty at Forgettable Reef. Unless the superiors want to deploy helicopter troops on the Forgotten Reef. There is another possibility - he really came to Lehi.
Is Lehi that important?
For Xue Zhengrong, the answer is yes.
Throughout the history of world aviation, no one has been able to land safely in a Category 10 typhoon. Li Hai did it, and Xue Zhengrong came to the conclusion that this person was extremely talented in flying, had a high understanding of flying, and had a strong ability to withstand pressure.
The so-called "three-pole pilot" is the standard for an ace pilot in Xue Zhengrong's mind.
He was certain that he couldn't make such a landing, he couldn't do it in the future, and he couldn't do it in this life. The reality is often so cruel that it makes people helpless, just like there is only one Lu Xun in the world.
So, if Le Hai were to try it again, would he still be successful?
The probability of failure is 99.9%, or the probability is equal to zero.
If Zhou Shuren were born now, could he still be Lu Xun?
In the emergency landing incident of Sichuan Airlines Flight 8633 a few months ago, the investigation team organized personnel to conduct repeated reviews, but all failed.
The right time, right place, right people, the condition of the pilot at the time, etc., all factors are indispensable.
In other words, Li Hai's successful landing this time was a pinnacle operation in the history of world aviation. This alone was enough to lay the foundation for him to become an ace pilot. This is also the reason why Li Yuanchao said that Li Hai will definitely get a first-class merit with this move alone.
Everyone was eating this bowl of rice, and they knew very well how bad the situation Li Hai was facing at that time. To put it bluntly, it would be better to simply eject and parachute if the wing breaks when the two engines stop in the air.
Therefore, if Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yunfei came for Li Hai, Xue Zhengrong would not doubt it.
Dang Weimin was envious that the two of them had a chance to come over, and then said, "Li Hai is your master, then I will be your master uncle."
"Hahaha, yes, uncle." Zhao Feiyan laughed.
After chatting, everyone no longer has any opinion about military rank. There are only two cats on the island, so there is no need to engage in such formality.
When he walked to the flight briefing room, Li Hai said, "Weimin, please take the two brothers to settle down and have a rest. Xue Da is unwell and I still have to be on duty."
"We are not tired." Zhao Feiyan said, "How about we also follow the duty? We can help with the tower work."
There is no big difference between the tower work at a helicopter airport and the tower work at a fixed-wing airport. Both of them are deputy regimental level cadres and have relatively rich command experience.
Li Hai thought for a while and said, "Xue Da still has to hang up. You might as well replace him and go up and ask for instructions."
Dang Weimin said, "Xue Da may allow me to fly again. I will take over for you this afternoon."
After watching the three people go to the tower, Li Hai walked into the flight briefing room and sat in front of the large display screen to study it carefully. The above is an aeronautical chart within a range of 500 kilometers centered on Forgotten Reef. This is not an ordinary electronic aeronautical chart, but a comprehensive operational aeronautical chart that integrates radar monitoring data, real-time meteorological satellite images and other intelligence.
It is clear where there are clouds and planes, where the clouds are moving, where the plane is flying, at what height and at what speed.
Of course there is not that much professional equipment on the Forgotten Reef, but there is on the mainland. All this data is transmitted through the communication network and can be presented in real time.
This is the advantage of forming a combat system.
Of course, if it is the kind of small propeller biplane that has just appeared, and the radar emission surface is extremely small, it will be difficult for the radar on the Forgotten Reef to detect it. At this time, a fighter jet must be taken off for verification and identification.
But at this time, Li Hai's attention was focused on the east side of Forgettable Reef, which was the direction in which the typhoon struck and the direction in which the small propeller biplane left. He found that the east side had the most international civil aviation routes, covering all four directions. It happened to form a converging airspace fifty kilometers east of Forgotten Reef.
He secretly thought that more attention should be paid to this intersection airspace. It was an airspace that should be focused on.
In addition to air traffic, surface traffic information is also presented on the aeronautical chart. From a distance, the densely packed small red dots are the ships on the route, which are basically concentrated on the north-south channel about 30 kilometers northwest of Forgettable Reef. This route can be described as a lifeline. According to incomplete statistics, the finished products carried by the tankers passing here every day are enough to consume all the motor vehicles in a southern province for a week.
These large ships usually encounter no danger as long as they leave the waters of Malacca. What is often the case is the large number of fishing boats operating in the surrounding fishing grounds. Nanyu-33076 is an example.
Li Hai increasingly believes that helicopters should be deployed on Forgotten Reef. With helicopters, the efficiency of maritime rescue will be greatly increased.
At this time, he didn't realize that he had fully entered the role, and the rookie began to grow.
He had been studying this huge aviation chart all morning. After having lunch in the flight briefing room, Dang Weimin came to replace him. However, he did not go back to the dormitory to rest. Instead, he went to the maintenance hangar to see his man who didn't know how to fly. A comrade whose words can only break the sound barrier——J-8F No. 81103.
Li Hai was happy, but it was the maintenance guys like Li Yuanchao who suffered. The conditions of the Forgotten Reef Airport are limited, and there is no dedicated maintenance class in the maintenance hangar. They all rely on Li Yuanchao's group of maintenance personnel.
Of course, the J-8F is not an advanced fighter that can be repaired with a hammer or hammer.
No, before Li Hai walked in, he heard the sound of "clang, clang, clang, clang". When he walked in, he saw that Li Yuanchao was standing on the wing of the plane, sticking his butt out and hitting it with a rubber hammer! The guy also shouted the password: one two one, one two one!
"Captain of the Aid Korea Squadron, what are you doing?" Li Hai was shocked.
Li Yuanchao stopped and touched the sweat with his forearm and straightened up. After exhaling, he said, "We are repairing the airplane! The left and right wings are somewhat deformed and need to be reset."
"Is this how you practice?" Li Hai imitated Li Yuanchao's movements of swinging his hammer, and his eyes nearly popped out.
Li Yuanchao asked, "How else can we cultivate?"
"WK!"
Li Hai quickly strode over and climbed up the ladder to take a look, "Can this thing be repaired so roughly?"
"It's so rare that I blame you." Li Yuanchao said with a smile, raising the hammer in his hand, "Did you see that this is not an ordinary hammer, it is made of rubber, the kind of material used to make condoms. Look, the wings are not flat. What should I do if I smash it? Don’t think that the aircraft is fragile. If it is fragile, it won’t be able to withstand your toss like that, right? Besides, the J-8 is relatively sturdy, so you may not be able to repair it if you use other methods.”
Li Hai was in a mess, this was totally out of his imagination!
You're so damn one-two-one!
