Not to mention the large-scale construction of the Musha Naval Training Station, which was in full swing, the primary issue before Li Hai was the training of Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian.
No matter how well the Eighth Hai Division does, they will still have to leave when the time comes for them to go on duty. From a personal emotional point of view, even if it doesn't work well, at least Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian should be brought out.
Previously, Li Hai did not believe that his superiors put Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian here at Forgettable Reef because of him. After a period of thinking, he felt that it was not impossible. Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian are the only students who have been admitted since the Feisha training camp without fixed-wing fighter flying experience.
Many students speculated that this was a favor given by the Flying Shark Force to the East Ship. All the practical training for the students in the growth class was conducted by the East Ship. Perhaps the leaders of the Flying Shark Force hoped that the East Ship could pay more attention to this area of work, so they accepted all the people recommended by the East Ship.
As for whether it was true, Li Hai had no way of knowing, and there was no need to bother analyzing it. No matter what, the modification training of Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian was left to him.
This is a lot of pressure.
It was so big that he even subconsciously put aside the matter of building a blue army unit in the 167th Independent Brigade.
Xue Zhengrong knew this well and was very tolerant of Li Hai.
For example, today, after a routine security patrol in the morning, Li Hai made a temporary application saying that he wanted to take two new recruits for training in the afternoon. Xue Zhengrong simply agreed after confirming that the weather conditions permitted, and immediately drafted a flight plan and reported it to the division headquarters.
Flight training is not just a matter of time. Even now after the system reform, plans must be reported at least twenty-four hours in advance. Routine flight training preparations take at least ten hours to complete.
Fighters and passenger planes have never had the same attributes, so their basic attributes and flight purposes are very different. Passenger aircraft require stability no matter when and where, and safety performance comes first. This is not the case for fighter jets. For example, the "statically unstable aerodynamic configuration" that is often heard, in short, means that the flight characteristics are extremely unstable.
It can even be understood more simply as "it will fall without power", which means that it has almost no ability to glide and fly. This is because if a fighter jet wants to pursue agile and flexible maneuverability, it must give up a smooth aerodynamic layout.
The diameter of the nozzle of the engine used in the famous "Iron Fighter" MiG-25 is so large that adults can sit on it without touching their heads. When it flies at top speed, the surface temperature of its fuselage reaches 700 degrees Celsius.
I would like to ask, which passenger aircraft needs to withstand such a flight environment.
And if power is lost, a fighter like the MiG-25 will drop like a brick.
All in all, the flight preparation of a fighter jet is quite troublesome. Logistics support was rarely given top priority during previous research and development. For example, the famous Su-27 fighter jet requires a large amount of ground support equipment to ensure its normal flight, and it cannot be used with other fighters.
After the People's Air Force acquired the first batch of Su-27 fighter jets, if they wanted to move to another location for training or something like that, they had to send ground support equipment and other equipment via roads and railways several days in advance, and then get approval from the aviation department. After approval, the aviation unit took off and transferred.
It can take as little as three to five days or as long as a week.
If it's wartime, the war may be over by the time your fighter planes arrive.
The Air Force feels that this is not possible and is determined not to do so. If the manufacturer has no other solution, it will find a solution on its own. The maintenance team actually developed its own ground support vehicle that can support the Su-27, J-7, and J-8 at the same time, solving this problem with local methods.
Of course, similar problems basically don’t exist now.
Most of the stations have the capability to support all fighter jets currently in service. They can come and take off at any time without any delay.
If calculated based on the length of the runway, according to the standards of civil aviation airports, Forgotten Reef Airport is a high-level 4D airport. The runway length of 3,200 meters and the runway width of 60 meters are enough to take off and land most mainline passenger aircraft. Under extreme circumstances, it can even take off and land heavy-duty four-engine passenger and cargo aircraft.
However, the ancillary facilities are incomplete and can currently only barely guarantee the normal flight training of up to six fighter aircraft. Currently, the 167th Independent Group only has five fighter aircraft in hand, and only two pilots who can fly. In other words, the ground support team only needs to operate the two fighters normally, and the pressure is very, very small.
In view of this, Li Hai's temporary application for flight training was easily approved, and it did not take long to complete flight preparations.
After lunch, Li Hai took the time to sleep for an hour. After getting up, he took a warm shower. After getting dressed, he picked up his flight bag and rushed to the flight briefing room. Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian were already there making preparations for the training, and they were studying the aeronautical charts in low voices.
"Master, this is the air chart and communication agreement for the afternoon." Zhan Yuntian picked up a document and handed it to Li Hai.
Li Hai wiped his sweat, sat down and read, and said, "Today's weather is surprisingly hot. I checked the sea surface temperature and it reached 40 degrees Celsius."
"News reports say that due to the impact of the Sulawesi tsunami, the high temperature may last for a month and will gradually subside until December. By the way, take a look at this." Zhao Feiyan walked to the bookshelf on the side , pick up a copy of "News Weekly".
Li Hai glanced at it, his eyes suddenly froze, and he quickly took it over to take a closer look. This is a special issue about the Sulawesi tsunami. The photo on the cover is very familiar. It was the moment Li Hai took the picture of the wall of water at an altitude of 201 meters rushing towards Ike Island!
"Most of the tsunami scene pictures in it are from the Sulawesi tsunami photo album you took. Scroll down and take a look. There is also an analysis article on the crash of an F-16 fighter jet in the tsunami, which also used your photos. .”
Li Hai browsed through them quickly. Almost all of them were photos taken by him, and they were all in high-definition versions!
"Is this an infringement? They didn't contact me to give me a publication fee!" Li Hai said in surprise.
Zhao Feiyan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "Master, shouldn't you be worried about leaks? Why are you still concerned about the initial fee?"
He vaguely discovered that the little master's thinking was different from that of ordinary people, and his focus was completely different!
Li Hai was startled and suddenly smiled, "There is no secret in these photos. Even if they are leaked, they are the secrets of the Thousand Island Kingdom. Moreover, these photos have already been published in the media of our army. If this news weekly reprints them, No, there is no indication of reprinting here. I’m afraid I need to contact the people at the publicity center and ask them to come forward to handle it. The exclusive photos of the Sulawesi tsunami scene are worth some money, right?”
"No." Zhan Yuntian couldn't listen anymore and said, "Master, what we mean is that the photos you took are used by many media. This is an honor."
Li Hai chuckled and said, "Yes, yes, it's an honor. Let's not talk about it anymore. Are you familiar with the training plan? Today we will have a small test, taking off and landing. The veteran will go first."
"You're ready, you can take off at any time." Zhao Feiyan and Zhan Yuntian replied in unison, feeling secretly relieved.
As long as money is not mentioned, Master's condition is normal.
