Chapter 962: Didn't you see us flying so low
Miranda Kerr's expression was a little confused when she heard Carter Mohn's words, she knew Air Force One, but she obviously didn't know that there was also a Navy One helicopter. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition to the famous Air Force One, there is also an exclusive helicopter formation for the President of the Federation, this helicopter formation has two types of dignitaries, the VH-3D modified from the Sea King SH-3D helicopter and the VH-60N modified from the Black Hawk UH-60A helicopter.
Construction has begun on two of Eric's private airports in Ventura, north of Los Angeles, and Long Island, New York, and orders have been placed for two planned Boeing 747-400s and two additional Gulfstream V business jets.
Considering that the distance to Ventura Airport would be more than 40 kilometers even from Pointe-Corner, Eric purchased two more helicopters to make it easier to travel between Point-A-Point Airport and Point-Corner Estate, Malibu, or downtown Los Angeles.
Jianjiao Manor originally also had a Bell civil helicopter, but Eric really didn't dare to compliment the safety of civilian helicopters.
Of the two dignitaries, the VH-3D was produced in 1976, and the style was very old, so naturally it was not considered, so Eric directly ordered two helicopters from Sikorsky Aircraft Company according to the configuration of the other VH-60N.
Of course, some classified electromagnetic pulse protection systems and the like cannot be installed, and Eric is not interested in these, he has always believed that once a nuclear war really breaks out, human civilization will also be doomed to destruction, and the so-called nuclear protection system is just a kind of self-comfort.
In addition, the federal government does not actually prohibit civilians from buying military helicopters, and the military will often auction off military aircraft that are on the verge of obsolescence at low prices to people who like to collect military equipment, such as Larry Ellison's collection of two fighter jets.
As for the VH-60N, it is also no longer banned from the ranks, and the main reason why no one else buys it is that this helicopter is too expensive.
Ordinary civil helicopters, two or three hundred thousand dollars can buy one, even the most expensive model in the Black Hawk series, the current price is not more than 10 million US dollars, but the two VH-60N ordered by Eric, even excluding those classified military equipment that cannot be installed, the cost is still as high as 33 million US dollars, which is close to the price of a Gulfstream V ultra-long-range business jet.
And that's just the beginning, the annual cost of maintenance and the cost of hiring pilots will be a lot of money in the future.
It can be said that in the whole of the United States, except for Mr. President, who can enjoy the support of taxpayers, there are absolutely very few other rich people who can use the VH-60N as a private car without caring about the high cost, and even the president of the Union can only enjoy this treatment for eight years at most within the annual travel budget.
As soon as the VH-60N was launched, Miranda immediately felt the difference in this helicopter.
Whether in movies or on television, all the helicopters are shot with a loud roar, and the pilots need to shout to communicate with people. But at this time, the airflow brought by the propeller stirred up the surrounding dust, but only a slight humming sound could be heard in the cabin, and even speech would not be affected.
After the helicopter flew smoothly, Miranda Kerr couldn't wait to unbuckle her seat belt and kneel in the seat and look out through the porthole.
The entire coastline of Greater Los Angeles is a bay in an arc, and the helicopter departs from Firefly Studios next to Mariander Bay to Malibu Point Estate, and the helicopter is on the sea all the way.
Feeling the helicopter flying over the sea at a speed of more than two hundred kilometers per hour, Miranda even felt that she could hear the wind whirring outside the cabin, and the girl's mentality couldn't help but become arrogant, and she pointed out the porthole with disdain: "Eric, look, those houses on the beach in Malibu are like small boxes, it's really ugly." Wow, I can already see the shell villa, it's so beautiful, that's the house that people live in. ”
Eric flipped through a book that accepted Lockheed Martin and had been reading about it lately in order to become more involved in the character of Tony Stark.
Hearing Miranda say this, Eric smiled without raising his head, "I remember someone just said they wanted a 'little box'." ”
At this time, Carter Moen and the others were sitting in the back row, and Miranda heard Eric's teasing, and said a little embarrassed: "I don't want to think about it at all now." ”
The road from Firefly Studios to Jianjiao Manor is more than 40 kilometers, and it takes about 40 minutes to drive without congestion. With a top speed of nearly 350 km/h, the VH-60N landed on the tarmac of Jianjiao Manor in less than fifteen minutes with a two-point-one-line flight.
Miranda Kerr was obviously a little unsatisfied, and it wasn't until she walked into the villa that she reluctantly took Eric's arm and asked, "Eric, if you can't accompany me tomorrow, can I use this plane to take a few classmates to Santa Cruz Island to play?"
Santa Cruz Island, located more than 60 kilometers west of Malibu City, is the largest island in California, and also forms the Channel Islands National Park of California together with several islands such as Santa Rosa Island and San Miguel Island. Several of the islands are very well preserved in nature, and there are almost no inhabitants of the area, making them very popular places to visit, and Eric has visited them a few times.
Eric took off his coat and planned to go upstairs to take a shower first, when he saw Miranda following with an expectant look on his face, he nodded and said, "Okay, but you are definitely not allowed to spend the night outside, you must come back before dark." ”
Miranda followed Eric up the stairs, laughed heartily, and said, "I know, in fact, I only plan to go with a few female classmates, so I won't bring any messy boys." ”
Eric nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, I like smart girls, don't come along, I'll take a shower." ”
"Eric, shall I wash with you?"
"Not good," Eric shook his head immediately.
"What a coward. ”
Miranda Kerr complained many times, although they had been intimate many times, but until now, Eric insisted on not taking her body, which made the girl feel a sense of frustration in her heart.
"Sooner or later, I'll clean up your little goblin. Eric didn't care about the girl's agitation, he wouldn't have sex with girls under the age of sixteen, and although he had frequent intimate contact with these goblins since Drew, this insistence never changed. It's not that he's jealous of the rules or the rules, but Eric thinks that the more a person reaches the pinnacle of wealth and power, the more he should have some persistence: "Go to the kitchen first and see what we have to eat for the evening." ”
"You have to do it yourself, you are now the world's first billionaire. "Miranda clearly doesn't have Eric's penchant for 'experiencing life', preferring to be surrounded by a group of servants if possible, doing nothing but enjoying life.
"Billionaires also have a life, do you think I should make myself a bed out of gold now, and then lay on it with a thick layer of money and do nothing all day?" ”
"I'd love to have a bed like this," Miranda said with a little anticipation, turning and walking downstairs.
After dinner, he was dragged to the screening room by Miranda, who also obviously has a tendency to be a night owl, to watch a movie, and halfway through a "Terminator 2", Eric was so sleepy that he almost couldn't open his eyes.
When I woke up in the morning, I unexpectedly shrunk a sleek body in my arms, as if I was holding a piece of nephrite, and I also had a very good smelling body fragrance.
Suppressing the desire in his heart, Eric got up and washed up and prepared breakfast, and was going to call the girl who was lying in bed, but Miranda appeared in the restaurant in high spirits, still holding today's newspaper in her hand, and after getting along for so long, this Nizi still knew that Eric had the habit of reading the newspaper in the morning.
"Look, Eric, this is a great picture," said Miranda, grinning as she spread out a section of the Los Angeles Times, showing Eric a photo of a black VH-60N helicopter speeding past the sponge. The title is "Williams's Navy One", which is full of gimmicks, or resentment.
For many days in a row, Eric left reporters waiting outside Firefly Studios only the shadow of this arrogantly modified Black Hawk helicopter, unlike those ordinary camouflage Black Hawk or the rustic dark green of the real Navy One, Eric's two VH-60N are very conspicuous piano black, even if the photo is printed on a very low resolution newspaper, it still looks very beautiful.
Picking up the newspaper, Ereca opened a chair and sat down, and said, "Let's eat, didn't you say that you are going to Santa Cruz Island with your classmates today, let's go to the studio first, you can call your classmates there and ask them to come over." You come back in the evening, and I just come home from work. ”
Miranda sat down next to Eric, graciously picked up the box of juice on the table and added some to Eric's cup before saying, "I just saw two helicopters in the hangar." ”
"Do you want to drive out together?"
Miranda shook her head, "No, but it must be cool." ”
Eric shook his head: "Don't even think about it, be low-key." ”
Miranda pointed to the newspaper that was still spread out, and two small dimples appeared on her cheeks again: "Is this also called low-key?"
"Of course, didn't you see us flying so low?"
"Huh. ”
After breakfast and rushing to Firefly Studios, Eric handed over Miranda's trip to Santa Cruz Island to Carter Moen, and hurried into the studio to start today's shooting.
In the cave scenes, only Tony Stark puts on the mark1 armor and kills all the way out of the cave, and these scenes don't need any lines except to say goodbye to the dying Dr. Ethan, so it's much simpler. Outside of the cave, Tony Stark's destruction of Stark's industrial weapons will still be filmed in the mountains of eastern California.
While Eric was filming in the studio, some of the crew had already made a low-key rush to Las Vegas to prepare for Monday's filming in Las Vegas. Due to the fact that there are several location scenes in Las Vegas, in order to avoid being watched, the crew is very careful, and the confidentiality work is also more strict.
The filming in the morning went well, and near lunchtime, Eric had already finished the scene between Tony Stark and Dr. Ethan, but in the afternoon, because the mark1 armor will use a flamethrower, for the sake of safety, everyone in the crew no longer allowed Eric to go into battle in person, but a stand-in to complete it.
Stan Winston's flamethrower device for Mark 1 is actually two hoses connected to a high-pressure oil pump, the nozzle is mounted on the armored arm, and the armored double needs to hold two long hoses to breathe fire while walking, this device is indeed dangerous, but the possibility of threatening the life of the double is not very large, at most it is only injured.
The crew has bought insurance for the stand-in and signed a very tight contract to ensure that in the event of an accident, the responsibilities of all parties are clear, and there will be no trouble such as downtime for the crew.
Next to the monitor, Eric is still wearing the lower half of the armor, standing patiently watching Joss Whedon command the double performance of the same half-armored, and he himself only has one last scene left.
The stand-in's performance went very smoothly, and there were no accidents during the period, and after the end, a group of people quickly stepped forward and sprayed wildly at the still burning props with fire extinguishers, while several other people had already stepped forward quickly, took off the armor on the stand-in, and put it on Eric.
Everyone is in a very relaxed mood at this time, the next scenes are completed, you can have a day off tomorrow, and you can go to Las Vegas, which all men dream of, the day after tomorrow. The Las Vegas shoot is scheduled for three days, which is sure to leave plenty of time for entertainment.
Eric only needs to defeat two more terrorists who rush up and make it all the way to the entrance of the cave, and all the scenes will be done.
"Eric, I'll discuss with you in advance, after the movie is finished, can you give me this mark1 armor?" said Joss Wheddon, holding the director's script in his hand, with the same relaxed face.
"That's not good, this armor will definitely be used in the future when the movie is promoted," Eric shook his head, motioned for the staff to bring the helmet to him, looked at Joss Whedon a little disappointed, and smiled: "However, when the movie is released, you can still take it home." ”
"That's it," Joss Whedon clapped his hands excitedly, and then shouted to everyone around him, "Okay, everyone prepare, the last shot, everyone can get off work when it's done." ”
Eric listened to Joss Whedon's excited tone, smiled and began to walk to his place and start to bury himself. (To be continued.) )
