Compared with the fierce reaction within the Hai Dongqing Regiment, the Eighth Hai Division, China Southern Airlines Headquarters and even the ship commander seemed very calm. It was not that the higher-level leadership organs were not shocked, but after being shocked, they began to think about one thing - whether they had ignored the role of the Forgotten Reef Flying Squadron, or in other words, they had not fully utilized the combat effectiveness of this small unit.
This is undoubtedly a good signal for the Forgotten Reef Squadron.
And press the Hai Dongqing team to start training and rectification.
When Lin Xiaotong was severely reprimanded by the group leader, Li Hai, who had completely forgotten about the confrontation drill, continued to act as a teacher and master.
15:00 sharp.
J-7EGGHS No. 037 was pulled out of the hangar.
This guy can enjoy hangar treatment, while the J-8F can only stay on the open-air apron.
Li Hai and Zhao Feiyan were holding flying helmets and watching the tractor pulling the No. 037 J-7EGGHS over. The former smiled and said, "Don't look at the post-modern painting of this aircraft, which looks like a trendy youth, but it is actually a plane enjoying the real life." A hero of super treatment."
"A fighter that enjoys regimental-level treatment? Haha!" Zhao Feiyan laughed.
No.
The biggest change of the No. 037 J-7EGGHS is the addition of a rear cabin. This is not a simple matter of cutting out a cockpit and installing a chair. It requires adding a control system, and the resulting changes in aerodynamic layout must also be optimized. This is big project.
This is also No. 037. If you switch to other aircraft, you will definitely not get this treatment.
It is no exaggeration to say that the resources used on this aircraft in previous modifications are almost equal to a brand new J-10C. But no one is willing to give up. The significance of this No. 037 is too great, not only as a spiritual symbol, but also as important in practical use.
In order to test various technologies, Li Zhan installed a large number of sensors, electronic equipment, and fire control auxiliary equipment on it. After a long period of actual combat use, after additions and subtractions, a set of non-integrated combat system.
Simply put, the No. 037 J-7EGGHS contains the results of almost all of Li Zhan’s actual combat experience that year.
This is the reason why Chengdu Lockheed's technicians come over to study the aircraft at every turn.
Was it because of Li Hai that J-7EGGHS No. 037 was sent here?
No matter what, Li Hai didn't think he had the ability anyway. Most likely, the superiors had given this legendary plane another new technology test task, but it hadn't reached the stage where the pilot's cooperation was required.
After carefully checking the condition of No. 037 J-7EGGHS, Li Hai and Li Yuanchao handed over the aircraft and said, "The conforming fuel tanks are full of fuel. We can train continuously for three hours today and we can fly farther."
"Okay, just flying around the airport is boring." Zhao Feiyan said with a smile.
J-7EGGHS No. 037 slid to the take-off position under the control of Li Hai.
The two of them checked the status of each system at the same time. After confirming that it was normal, Li Hai said, "Try taking off today. Follow the movements. It's very simple. But you have to pay attention. The helicopter takes off and climbs by pressing the stick, and the fighter takes off and climbs by pulling the stick. Don't bring out your habitual actions..."
It would be fun if you get used to pressing the stick at low altitude.
Zhao Feiyan smiled bitterly and said, "Master, I'm not that stupid. I have been practicing ground pole manipulation for more than ten days."
"Take off according to the procedure." Li Hai put away his smile and said.
Zhao Feiyan immediately became serious and called the tower, "Tower, Dongsanguai is requesting takeoff."
Tower commander Dang Weimin ordered: "Time to take off."
Zhao Feiyan slowly pushed the throttle lever. Unexpectedly, No. 037 J-7EGGHS suddenly moved forward and raised its nose!
When No. 037 J-7EGGHS raises its head!
"So fierce!" Zhao Feiyan was frightened and quickly moved the throttle lever back.
Li Hai said, "If you move the push rod slower, this is no ordinary J-7. The engine it uses is more powerful than the RD-93 used by Xiaolong. It is the only fighter in active service in the entire army."
After calming down, Zhao Feiyan pushed the throttle lever with a slower movement, and soon found the feeling, and the taxi quickly became smoother.
He was slightly distracted, and Li Hai reminded, "It's time to pull up."
Zhao Feiyan quickly looked at the ground speedometer and engine speed, both of which had reached the take-off value. She secretly thought that this acceleration was too fierce. When Li Hai controlled the plane to take off before, he didn't feel it clearly when he was sitting in the back cabin. Now that he was controlling it himself, the feeling was very strong, like sitting on a fierce horse.
Slowly pull the lever, hey, no movement?
Li Hai said, "This aircraft has a relatively large control stick margin. The range of motion of the lever should be larger and you will slowly get used to it."
…
The throttle lever is sensitive and the joystick is dull. What kind of magical configuration is this?
Under the control of Zhao Feiyan, No. 037 J-7EGGHS took off from the ground. After climbing for a while, Li Hai asked him to retract the landing gear, and then taught him how to control it step by step.
No. 037 J-7EGGHS was sometimes faster and sometimes slower, and it was even more laggy when maneuvering. She felt uncomfortable, and she was very unaccustomed to such unfamiliar control. In her military career, there was never a time when the afterburner was not used to cause a large overload. She had never seen such a girly flying style.
It was only when Li Hai took over the control and demonstrated that she finally found some hearty feelings, but the happy time was short-lived, and she still had to endure more "torture" from the newcomers. It's like asking the world sprint champion to walk with a child.
Obviously, these days will last forever, and it has been decided since it was changed to a two-seater.
It's all fate.
However, it is obvious that the No. 037 J-7EGGHS that has been converted into a two-seater will definitely not be just a training aircraft. Li Zhan will not let her go, and Li Hai will not let her go either.
Zhao Feiyan already has extensive experience in helicopter flying. Although it is different from fixed-wing aircraft, it is not without common ground. Take other aspects of knowledge besides aircraft control as an example. He doesn't need to learn anything. He is better than Li Hai in many aspects of knowledge.
Li Hai's confidence in bringing Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian out within a month came from this. Xue Zhengrong's request to Li Hai obviously took various factors into full consideration and must not be made haphazardly.
Here, there are step-by-step security patrols, air interceptions and new recruits. Over there, the superior leadership has also formed a new positioning for the Forgotten Reef. Bigger changes are slowly unfolding. Li Hai and other little people among them are smelling It’s the smell of spring.
After No. 81103 J-8F completed maintenance and ground testing, it was rebuilt. The equipment strength of the Forgotten Reef Squadron reached a peak - it has three J-8Fs, one J-8FR and the famous No. 037 J-7EGGHS. .
On this day, Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian successfully completed the J-8F modification training, completed their solo flights with excellent results, and completed the transition from helicopter pilots to fighter pilots...
