After staying in Portland for four days, Gao Yang's daily life is very regular, he got up in the morning and went to study at the aviation school with Cui Bo, had lunch, and went to Alilan. Mawson's studio shoots to go.

After a few days, Gao Yang has become familiar with the process of the three-gun shooting competition, and all that remains is to wait for the pistol and shotgun to be modified, familiarize himself with the shooting characteristics equivalent to the new gun, and improve the accuracy.

Gao Yang's purpose in learning to fly is simple, that is, he does not want to encounter a situation where there is an airplane and no one can fly it.

Gao Yang's requirements are also very simple, as long as he can drive a small fixed-wing plane, of course, he must also be able to drive a helicopter, and on the battlefield, the most they encounter is actually a real lift.

In fact, it is not that difficult to get a pilot license in the United States, and there are many aviation schools, which are no different from learning to drive a car.

Gao Yang didn't think about getting a pilot license, he just wanted to be able to drive the plane in the shortest possible time and land safely, so his learning process was also a lot more compact, but after understanding the most basic and must-know knowledge, he had to follow the coach to the sky on the fifth day and directly learn the actual operation.

What is more special is that Gao Yang is not learning a fixed-wing small plane this time, but a helicopter, because there happens to be a school in Portland that teaches people to drive helicopters, and more importantly, this aviation school is very large, and there are models that Gao Yang needs.

However, even if it is a violation, even if the steps that can be saved are omitted first. But after 911. The U.S. has strict controls on people who learn to fly. Although Gao Yang can arrange the courses more closely and subtract some teaching processes, it is not afraid to verify the identity of the students and log in for the record.

Gao Yang and Cui Bo "truthfully" registered his identification, and then did a medical examination at the FAA, which is a doctor recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration.

On the morning of the fifth day, Gao Yang and Cui Bo first went to the clinic to get the medical certificate, and after the clinic issued a learning flight certificate. I was finally able to fly as planned.

According to FAA regulations, obtaining a private pilot license requires at least 35 hours of flying and 30 hours of ground theory teaching courses.

The steps of the province cannot be saved, but there is no explicit provision, or if it can be done in one step, then it must be done quickly.

Originally, the beginning of aviation school studies was supposed to be a small helicopter. But the first time they came up to fly with them, that is, the plane they planned to try to learn to fly was Sikorsky's S-70 heavy helicopter.

The S-70 is a civilian model. The military model is the UH-60, which is the Black Hawk, and the plane they have just shot down not long ago, to be exact, the plane that has been shot down by the Angel Mercenary Group.

If you learn to fly a small helicopter, the price of a flight is about 200 dollars, but you also need to add fuel taxes and taxes for the pilot's consumption, and the normal price is enough for 300 dollars, but after changing the plane to the S-70, the price of an hour will cost 2,000 dollars.

Although it will cost a lot of money, if it weren't for such a high price, he wouldn't have been able to learn the S-70.

When I arrived at the aviation school, I completed the formalities, and all that was left was to wait for the pilot to get on the plane, but I had to wait for the pilot to arrive before getting on the plane.

It was a little cold, and a staff member took Gao Yang and them to the tarmac, and after standing for five minutes, they didn't see the pilot who should have arrived in advance.

After waiting for another ten minutes, when Gao Yang felt that his hands and feet were a little cold, the staff member finally couldn't help it, he obviously went to the place where the flight instructor was staying, and called someone in person.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Gao Yang began to get a little angry, but saw that the staff member ran back quickly, and after reaching Gao Yang, he gasped and said: "Sorry, Mr. Gao, today's flight plan must be canceled, sir, the pilot had an accident, we are extremely sorry for delaying your time, but the pilot had an accident that was not hard and strict, and it is impossible to fly in a short time." ”

Gao Yang knew who was going to take him to fly today, and he frowned at the moment: "What happened to Mr. Hamitchell?" ”

"Mr. Hamitchell fell down the stairs when he went downstairs just now, his head was broken, I don't know if there is anything wrong with the bones, you know, Hamitchell is old, he feels very bad, and now he has been rushed to the hospital, so, I'm sorry, today's flight plan can only be canceled."

Gao Yang frowned and said, "Oh, this is really an unfortunate and bad accident, I hope Mr. Hamitchell is okay, but isn't there anyone else in the school who can teach us and take us to fly?" ”

The staff member said with a look of embarrassment: "Sorry, there are only two pilots in our school who can fly the S-70, Mr. Hamitchell is one, and the other, who is now on vacation, is in Florida." ”

Gao Yang said helplessly: "In this case, is our flight plan going to be delayed indefinitely?" ”

"I'm sorry, unless you can switch to a different aircraft today, or, actually, well, I think you can fly a different aircraft first."

"What do you mean by that?"

The staff hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there is another person in our school who can fly the S-70, but Mr. Hamitchell is a very experienced flight instructor, and you have paid a lot of money for this, and if you want to change people now, you are not as good as Mr. Hamitchell in terms of qualifications first." ”

Gao Yang immediately came to his senses and said, "It doesn't matter what the qualifications are, you just need to tell me how about his flying experience?" ”

"Well, this pilot, although he has just obtained the qualification certificate of flight instructor, has almost two hundred hours of UH-60 flying experience, yes, this is another problem, this pilot flew a military transport helicopter instead of a civilian S-70."

Gao Yang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly said, "No problem, no problem, this is it." ”

The staff was still embarrassed and said, "So, about the coach's fee." ”

For Gao Yang, it is definitely much more appropriate to let a military helicopter pilot teach than Hamitchell, an old qualified civilian helicopter flight instructor, although Hamitchell needs to pay more to teach, but Gao Yang doesn't care.

"There is no problem with the fee, there is no need to change it or refund the money or anything like that."

A smile finally appeared on the staff's face, he nodded, and said, "Okay, please wait a minute, I'll go and call someone over immediately, and it will be fine soon." ”

The staff called someone to go, Gao Yang smiled, and said to Cui Bo: "Do you say that we are a blessing in disguise, the military plane, let's take the opportunity to inquire about how good the UH-60 is." ”

Cui Bo looked at Gao Yang and said, "Is there any difference?" If you want to know this, just ask the national bird, he is the one who drove the Black Hawk, you still need to ask others? ”

Gao Yang waved his hand and said: "How is this the same, it's not the plane, even if Jia Kelan says that we don't understand, this is on the plane, even if it is a civilian type, we can know a rough idea." ”

Cui Bo nodded and said, "That's right, okay, then we can really be regarded as a blessing in disguise." ”

The two of them talked and waited for a long time, when they saw a person shaking his head from the office building, and walked towards them with three steps.

The person who came was wearing a pair of sunglasses that pilots often wear, a huge pair of headphones on his head, a cigarette in his mouth, an army green M65 windbreaker, a pair of jeans on his legs, a pair of military boots on his feet, and his hair was very short, just a little longer than his bald head, and he looked more than 1.7 meters tall, nearly 1.8 meters tall.

Looking at the image of the flight instructor, Cui Boba smacked his lips and said, "Well, I think this person looks like he came out of the army, but looking at his appearance, how do I think it's a disaster." ”

Gao Yang also felt that the person who came was unreliable, maybe he was a good pilot, but he was not necessarily a good coach, so his idea of a blessing in disguise was a little shaken.

When the flight instructor was about to reach them up, he raised his hand and waved it, then took off his headphones and said loudly, "Hi, hello." ”

got closer, Gao Yang found that the coach who came looked a little awkward, how to say it, look at the clothes and hairstyles and movements, this is a man, but if you look at the face, say it's a man, the face is a little small and a little too feminine, say it's a woman, but the lines on the face are very hard, angular and angular, but even with such a hard line face, it still looks a bit like a woman.

Gao Yang wanted to distinguish between men and women from the chest, because he was wearing a fat M65 windbreaker, and it was obviously covered by a cotton liner, and the chest was also covered.

Subconsciously nodded, and after saying hello to the person who came, Gao Yang gasped and said in Chinese: "Rabbit, do you think, this person is a sissy, or a female man?" ”

Cui Bo glanced up and down, and said with a tangled face: "This, it's not good to say, it should be a sissy, but I'm really not sure, but it should be a sissy, is it a dead lady." ”

Gao Yang and Cui Bo only exchanged two sentences in Chinese, and then stopped talking, when the person who came finally walked in front of Gao Yang, he did not stretch out his hand to shake hands, but stood two steps in front of Gao Yang, stared at him and Cui Bo with sunglasses After several times, he didn't use his hand, he directly spit out the cigarette on the ground next to him, stretched out his foot and extinguished it, and said: "Hello, my name is Erin. Zep. Alepog, for the rest of the time, I will be your flight instructor. (To be continued......)
