Chapter 120: Wind and Rain Converge Jiangnan (25)
In July, Yangcheng is already in the middle of summer, and the tropical storm from the South Taiping has just passed through Yangcheng, and the white fog that envelops the entire Yangcheng at this moment is the mark left by Typhoon Jennifer.
The morning sun has risen from below the horizon, and the warm red sunlight hits the ground through a large amount of water vapor, with a little unreal sense of weakness, and the water vapor passing by is mixed with a little bit of damp breath, and the entire Baiyun Airport seems to be boiling in a large pressure cooker.
At the front of the two check-in counters near the boarding channel of Baiyun Airport, a half-person-high white cardboard is stamped, and the four big characters "Temporary Notice" are written in upright brush letters.
The content of the notice is to the effect that the airport has received a notice from the higher authorities that from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m. on July 7, flights departing from Baiyun Airport will be temporarily suspended, and will return to normal after 6:30 a.m., and the delayed flights will take off in turn.
In the early 90s, Baiyun Airport was not busy, and there were only two early flights from 4 o'clock to 6 o'clock, one was an international flight - Jinling to Yangcheng to Singapore, and the other was an early domestic flight of United Airlines - Yangcheng to Shencheng.
More than 200 people stranded on the two flights were scattered in the waiting hall to chat, and from time to time there were people and the staff in charge of the check-in counter to inquire about the news, but they were all disappointed.
When the hands of the oversized round quartz clock hanging above the entrance to Terminal 1 pointed to six o'clock, the doors of the airport's two newly completed super-large maintenance hangars rolled open, and the Belfast large transport aircraft equipped with four propellers slowly drove out of the hangar amid the low roar of two diesel tractors connected in series.
It is said that the republic of this era is really miserable, and it is clearly and obviously poor.
There is no tug truck in China that can tow a Boeing 747 passenger aircraft of this level, and although the support vehicles and tools attached to the introduction of the Boeing 747 passenger aircraft by civil aviation have been bought, there is a problem with the use of them by the military of the Republic.
The first Boeing 747 intercontinental passenger aircraft was purchased in 1978, and the first Boeing 747 was delivered to the civil aviation of the Republic in 1980.
This directly led to the fact that the third Boeing 747 passenger plane to fly the United States route was actually a U.S. account, and the use of Boeing 747 passenger aircraft and extremely ancillary facilities theoretically also needed to be reported to the U.S. government.
Although the three Boeing 747 passenger planes purchased by the civil aviation in 88 have all been transferred to the civil aviation of the Republic, for some unnecessary troubles, it is better to not use the tractor of the Boeing 747.
Fortunately, after the introduction of F14 fighters in the Republic, it also encountered the problem of insufficient power to tow the F14 fighter tractor loaded with ammunition.
The military's response was very rude, directly giving up electric traction, using the power core of the 59 tank, and the B2 diesel engine was changed to several high-power diesel tractors to solve the problem.
Then, this time Belfast returned home, and these new tractors came in handy in the new environment.
The maintenance depot was not far from the parking stand reserved for Belfast, and after turning a corner, the tractor stopped the Belfast transport aircraft at the designated position.
Although the physique of the Belfast transport aircraft is not as strong as the Boeing 747, compared with the Boeing 737 common at Republic Airport, the Yun-8 or something is definitely a giant level.
The stranded passengers had a sharp eye and immediately noticed that there were two more behemoths on the tarmac outside, and under the call of friends, hundreds of people in the waiting hall in just one minute were almost all concentrated under the glass curtain wall near the direction of the runway.
For a while, there was a lot of gossip in the entire waiting hall.
"What kind of aircraft is this? It's the first time I've seen such a big propeller plane. ”
"Tut, look at those four propeller blades, they're almost as thick as a small plane. ”
"Hey, you say, will the delay of the plane have something to do with the two big guys?"
"Hey, that's really possible for you to say that. ”
"Look over there, there's another plane coming over there, three more. ”
"It's so small!"
"This is not Yunba, this plane is easy to recognize, and the bottom of the plane's head is transparent. ”
"MD finally intuitively realized the meaning of the phrase "people have to die more than people, and goods have to be thrown away", they are all four-propeller planes, and the size gap is too big. ”
"A Chen Peisi, a Zhu Shimao~~. ”
"Haha, little girl, you are so humorous, are you going to Singapore to travel or study when you dress up so fashionably?"
"Uncle, the direction is reversed, I went to Shencheng to report to work. ”
"uh~~~"
"The little plane turned again, and it didn't stop passing by the tarmac, is this going to take off directly on the runway?"
"The tractor left and saw if anyone went over to get it ready. ”
"Brother, are you short-sighted, don't you see that the propeller of the small plane keeps turning?"
"Isn't this sick, the engine is turned on and the yarn is used to tow the car. ”
"Look at the back, look at the back, there are a lot of troops outside the airport, what's the matter!"
"Real guns, all with real guns. ”
"It's a long military vehicle, you can't see the tail, what's wrong?"
"Who has the radio, who has the radio?"
In the early 90s, hipsters with portable radios were like a Rolex popping out of a pile of electronic watches in the Republic.
"I brought it, what's wrong with this?"
"What's the matter, the young man turned his head in the direction of the entrance of the airport, and saw that there was no military vehicle, hurry up, FM107.8 MHz, the Central People's Radio, and the troops have all been dispatched. ”
"Ah, there are really a lot of military vehicles, shouldn't the group of planes outside be there to transport these people? I'll take out the radio right away, don't worry, everyone. ”
Zizi~~ Good morning everyone, the SAR People's Radio is at your service~
Zi~~ The Lingnan Provincial Government decided to further accelerate the construction of infrastructure~~
Zizizi~~ Central People's Radio, the following is the weather forecast time, please take a good paper and pen to write down the weather changes in the next few days.
