Salzburg sits on the border between Austria and Germany, at the northern foot of the Alps, with the tranquil and beautiful Salz River running through the city center. The climate here is pleasant, with blue skies and white clouds, green mountains and green waters, which makes people forget to return.

Because of the geographical location, Salzburg has a lot of scenic spots, under the leadership of Mateschitz, Tang Feng and Sophia visited Salzburg's landmark, located on the city's fortress hill, the largest existing fortress castle in Central Europe - Salzburg Fortress.

Of course, there is also a representative of the Baroque style building, the Salzburg Catholic Church, in addition, the Tang they also visited the famous Heilbrunn Palace, and experienced a handful of the Archbishop for his affection. This palace was built at great expense.

In addition, Tang Feng and Sophia also visited the Mozart House Museum located in the grain alley with reverence, and saw the place where Mozart lived before he was 17 years old.

Although Salzburg is Austria's fourth-largest city, the city is actually not huge, with a population of only 150,000, which is not even as large as a county town in China.

However, Tang Feng and Sophia still toured the city for two days, and in the end, Mateschitz was taken to Salzburg Airport, located southwest of the city.

It turns out that the famous aircraft museum owned by Mateschitz is located on the east side of the airport runway.

It is a glass ellipsoid building consisting of two glass towers, and the strange name is called Hangar 7. In fact, it's a converted hangar, built entirely of tempered glass, and in the center of its interior, at the intersection of the steel frames, there is a suspended glass house, also made of glass, with only a glass passage that allows visitors to enter the glass house from the ground.

And the most eye-catching. There are more than a dozen old planes parked in the lobby on the first floor, as well as a few blue Red Bull RB series cars

"This is" Tang Feng was surprised by the architectural style of this building, and asked involuntarily.

Sophia on the side cheered excitedly: "What a beautiful house!" ”

Tang Feng's performance made Mateschitz laugh and said, "That's right, this is my base camp." Her name is Hangar Seven, and it's my airplane and racing museum. How's that, not bad, right? ”

Tang Feng and Sophia both nodded, not only is it good, this building is simply a classic.

"Dieter, are these planes from your collection?" Tang Feng asked.

Mateschitz said proudly: "Yes, it's all my work over the years. Seeing that this guy didn't, this is the famous P-38 "Lightning" fighter, the first military aircraft developed by the American company Lockheed! From its birth to the present. She is 78 years old. But she can still fly! That's what I'm most proud of! ”

The plane that Mateschitz was talking about was an extremely peculiar plane. The aircraft was iron gray overall, but unlike the current aircraft, this one had three fuselages. The middle fuselage looks like the cockpit of the pilot's aircraft, but this section of the fuselage is very short, and there are two more fuselages where it should have been wings, and these two fuselages are very long. The front end is a propeller, and the rear end sticks out about ten meters back. It is then joined together by a piece of metal.

As a result, the plane became a strange shape with a three-fuselage and two tails.

And this shape is the classic shape of the P-38 Lightning. This plane was in the Pacific War, but it caused huge casualties to the little devils, and the most famous incident was the plane that Yamamoto Fifty-six's grandson was riding on, which was shot down by this plane. led to the death of Yamamoto Isoroku.

"Wow, this is lightning? The plane that shot down Yamamoto Fifty-Six back then? "Tang Feng knows a lot about World War II, although he can only be regarded as a pseudo-military fan, but he still knows this kind of thing.

"That's right, it was Yamamoto Fifty-six who was killed by this plane back then!" Mateschitz touched the fuselage of the plane with great pride. It was as if this plane was the same plane that shot down Yamamoto's 56-seater back then.

"Don, do you know this plane?" Mateschitz shifted his focus to another iron-grey aircraft.

This is a single-wing, double-engine, double-tail shape of the aircraft, this type of aircraft was very common during World War II, but the semi-circular glass cockpit of this aircraft is located in the rear half of the fuselage, but Tang Feng sounded what kind of model this aircraft is.

"Dieter, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the famous B-25 Mitchell medium bomber!" Tang Feng said confidently.

"Bingo! Don, you really have a vision. That's right, this is a B-25 Mitchell bomber, and one of my treasures! Mateschitz said happily.

This B-25 Mitchell bomber is no worse than the P-38 Lightning, which was originally designed and codenamed "NA-40-1", but later in honor of the early aviation strategist William? Mitchell, this aircraft is named after him.

One of the most famous things this plane has ever done was to strike Tokyo! That is, the famous Doolittle air raid!

On April 18, 1942, in retaliation for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. Navy launched its first aerial bombing mission to the Japanese mainland. In the history of American warfare, this is the only time that a bomber of the US Army Air Corps took off from a US Navy aircraft carrier to perform a combat mission. This bombing mission proved that the Japanese mainland was unable to effectively defend itself against Allied air attacks, and took revenge for the humiliation of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Since this mission was carried out by Jimmy, who was a famous pilot before the war. Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle single-handedly planned, so it is also called the "Doolittle Air Raid".

At that time, the bomber formation led by Lieutenant Colonel Doolittle consisted of 16 B-25B bombers.

Tang Feng saluted the two planes very respectfully. Anyway, he is also a Chinese person, and it was said that this devil caused great damage to Huaxia back then, and this plane also brought great harm to the little devil, which can be regarded as avenging the Chinese people back then, so Tang Feng respected this plane very much.

In addition to these two aircraft, there are also such as the F4U Corsair carrier-based fighter, the DC-6 transport aircraft developed in the forties, etc., all of which are some classic aircraft that are dozens of years old, but these planes can still fly, which has to be said to be a small miracle.

Through these planes, you can see that this old man Mateschitz is really good at playing! (To be continued.) )
