Chapter 853: This is Hope

The two veteran pilots each fly a Bell 205, and in the passenger seat are the "young" pilots assigned by the company, who also have about 1,000 hours of flying experience in helicopters.

If there is money, then there are people and equipment.

As for the two "old guys", they first flew the Bell 205 25 years ago, and today, they have more than 4,000 flight hours in various aircraft!

This kind of helicopter in a single hand, which has more than 2,000 flight hours, is as familiar with the aircraft as its own parts.

In the tropical rainy season, the big deal is heavy rain, poor visibility, bad luck and typhoons, plus the altitude of the mountains makes the helicopter unable to take off and land at full load.

None of this is a problem, both old fellows have seen it and can deal with it.

Although Clark Air Force Base was "timid", the logistical support provided to the "combined forces" was okay: after seeing the two helicopters take off, the follow-up rescue team members entered the lounge by the tarmac, and the breakfast was delivered, and they each found a place to rest.

Hardly anyone spoke, and few people had been able to rest well for the past night, and they would all stagger, close their eyes, or take a nap.

......

The helicopter travels at speeds of more than 200 kilometers per hour, and after entering the mountains, it flies at an altitude of 2,000 meters, a little higher than all the mountains in the area: a simple and crude way, the engine output is enough to ignore the visibility.

Constantly passing through the clouds, some are still rain clouds, and the rescue team members are wearing waterproof overalls and boots, and they are scolding and swearing in their mouths without paying attention!

I don't know if it was the damn ground crew or the pilot's idea, the helicopter unloaded the hatches on both sides, and the rain could blow in, and it hurt to hit the face.

The passengers are all tied to their simple seats with seat belts, and there is a not very strong anti-fall net on each side, and the noise in the cabin is earth-shattering, and some guys who are a little afraid of heights have their eyes closed and dare not look out at all.

But it's just a casual complaint, dismantling all the unnecessary weight is for safety, and it's just a loss of comfort, anyway, it will take more than half an hour to arrive, and it's over after a while.

Besides, the airflow is not small, but it is finally cool, the humid and hot environment of Clark Air Force Base just now makes the guys who came from the southern hemisphere very uncomfortable, and now it is louder and more windy, and people are cool.

It didn't take long to feel that the guys sitting on both sides knocked on the guys on the inside, and pointed out with their hands: Baguio has arrived!

At the same time, the elderly mayor and his entourage, who were walking in the city to check the disaster, heard the sound of helicopter engines in the air.

Just now, Mr. Baguio, who is about the oldest mayor in the Philippines, was still sighing: Miserable! Destruction is worse than war!

As soon as you hear the sound of a helicopter, you will immediately look up.

But although the rain stopped, the clouds were still very low and could not be seen at all!

"The president sent someone?"

Mr. Mayor asked his entourage: He had learned about some of the outside world's rescue efforts through the contact of the US military, but he did not say that he would send helicopters to support him so soon.

Even the US military is the same: you have to wait for the weather to improve, otherwise you will not have the conditions for take-off and landing!

Attachés big-eyed small-eyed......

I don't know!

Then, seeing two flares rising in the northwest of the city, the old mayor immediately judged that it was the location of the Hyatt five-star hotel.

Hyatt has been ruined!

"Hurry up and contact the U.S. military and ask who it is!"

An attaché got on his bike and ran immediately: this is the fastest mode of transportation at the moment, although it is necessary to ride the uphill slopes and in the areas where some houses have collapsed.

Twenty minutes later, a report from the entourage came over the civilian walkie-talkie: "Mayor, it's not a U.S. military helicopter, it's someone sent by the American's security company."

There are professional rescue teams and search and rescue dogs, which came directly from Australia last night with a Hercules transport plane!

Mayor ......"

The old man was speechless for a long time.

A private company, it's actually that private company!

He already knew that the training camp personnel rented by the company here had already participated in the rescue, but he didn't expect that they were the first to send reinforcements to Baguio!

It's not the Philippine Air Force, it's not the U.S. military, it's a private company, and it's a fucking transfer from Australia, thousands of kilometers away, how can this be embarrassing!

And that's not all, the old mayor was stimulated again: "...... Mayor, that company also has two giant transport planes in the Pacific Ocean, and there are also professional rescue teams on it, and there are two latest Black Hawk rescue helicopters that will be able to parachute into us before nightfall today, flying from the continental United States and Chile......"

The old mayor doesn't want to talk anymore, because he really wants to scold his mother!

What is this called!

UN?

Maybe the United Nations isn't so fast!

He has been the mayor for almost half of his life, and he has come into contact with many foreigners, and he has seen the market, knows how far Australia, Chile and the United States are from the Philippines, and knows how fast the Hercules transport plane is, because he has ridden it.

As soon as I calculated in my mind, I could immediately know why the rescue speed was so fast: probably because the person was a company, maybe the boss could set off with a phone call.

Poor, thinking about the speed of his country's reaction, the mayor of Baguio City really doesn't know what to say.

After a while, he sighed and said to the people who followed him: "Find a way to contact people and see if you can send some seriously injured people out."

Also, ask if you can divide the manpower to rescue other places. ”

This can't be forced, because the entire Baguio has been seriously affected, and at present, the most fatal casualties are not private houses, but two five-star hotels!

Thanks to the building and economic conditions, although the houses in the city are basically destroyed, the death toll may be in the thousands, that is, the injured are at least tens of thousands.

A broken house also has the benefit of a broken house!

But the main buildings of the two five-star hotels were all reimbursed, and there were at least hundreds of foreign tourists buried inside.

Five-star hotel, how to build it!

The old mayor will feel that his brain hurts, and he really wants to faint in pain, but the reality is that he still has to insist and insist on calling for help.

......

Rescue, slow and fast, when two Bell 205 helicopters appeared in the air, everyone near the Hyatt Regency cheered!

Hope, that's hope!

The main manned plane was about to land first, and the rescue team members inside jumped off the plane as quickly as possible.

The engine didn't stop: it was enough to land a plane, and it was about to fly away.

Instead of returning to Clark Air Force Base immediately, he flew to a training camp more than ten kilometers away.

Braid, who had just used the same communication frequency, had already used the radio to inform the pilots that there were seriously wounded people in the camp who needed to be sent to the outside world as soon as possible for further treatment.
