Chapter 220: Topic King
Meng Qian had already figured out the situation from the conversation: these two guys were both flying enthusiasts, and there was also a large flying club "Flamingos" here.
Meng Qian was fortunate to see the club's hangar, where there were countless fixed-wing, single-engine planes, and exaggerated paintwork of various colors.
"My friend, I want to try flying." Tiger walked over to a red-and-blue painted plane, where club staff were doing a routine check.
"The XA-42 is the world's best aerobatic aircraft, using special composite materials to ensure a light fuselage. Yinghe is strong, and the theoretical overload can reach plus or minus 12G! ”
Fred corrected: "One of the best. ”
Meng Qian sat in the seat at the front of the plane, and behind him was Tiger. Stone, aerobatic planes, in order to balance the weight, will put the driver's seat in the rear.
Fred specially said to Meng Qian: "Good luck! ”
"What?" Meng Qian couldn't figure it out, but he quickly understood why.
"Let's go!" Tiger started the plane, accelerated on the runway, and in a short time and without warning, pulled up the nose of the plane and took off in a very wild, fast manner.
Because Meng Qian sat in the front, his all-round vision was very broad, and the aerobatic plane could easily throw out six or seven G overloads.
"Ahh
Meng Qian exclaimed with dignity, he had never experienced it before - some were just roller coasters on VR games, which were said to be of this level, but only visually. Now it's not just visual, the center of gravity is unbalanced and the sudden acceleration makes his stomach turn upside down.
The roller coaster has been experienced by many people. Usually only 3 G's of overload, but already has countless visitors to experience it screaming. Now soaring to an overload of 8 G, usually only fighters dare to play like this. 9 G's is the safety limit of fighter maneuvering, and no matter how high it is, it may face accidents.
But Tiger just came to a few high-G-value maneuvers in one breath, although it was only a few seconds, but the experience comparable to that of a fighter plane had already made Meng Qian regret it!
This is a hundred scarier than riding a roller coaster!
Meng Qian's voice was trembling, he experienced gray vision when climbing at a large angle, red vision during a vertical dive, feeling a severe lack of oxygen in his brain, and he couldn't wake up when he closed his eyes.
But the plane is still flicking. Like pieces of paper flying in a stormy wind, his center of gravity is above his head for a while, and at hand for a while, and the blue sky and the earth are spinning.
Tiger deliberately tried Meng Qian's limits, he pulled the joystick sharply, allowing the plane to climb at a near-vertical angle, bringing a huge G-number, and then after reaching a high point, he staged a tumbling turn - followed by a sharp bow. The plane dives downwards and spins.
"I ...... it! Meng Qian's teeth kept fighting.
Only Tiger still popularized in a relaxed tone: "In the state of two people!" The safety value is 8G or less! Considering what you can afford, I'm not going to try. ”
“OK。” Meng Qian squeezed out these two words.
After a long time in the sky, Tiger finally returned safely at his request - and landed in a strong fighting style. Sharp turns, sharp landings, there is no bit of slowness and comfort of passenger planes and business jets. After the cockpit was opened, Meng Qian almost fell off.
He sat on the ground. The feeling of the world spinning.
"How does it feel?" Tiger jumped off the plane and walked up to him with a smile.
"Dizzy." Meng Qian sat still and didn't want to get up.
Tiger commented: "To first-time passengers. Your physical fitness is good - not fainting is victory, a little training. You'll be a great pilot. ”
"But it didn't prepare me at all." Meng Qian was speechless, he thought it was an ordinary mode of a sightseeing plane, but he didn't expect it to be violent aerobatics!
Meng Qian's performance also aroused Fred's interest: "Those who can adapt to it have talent, and they will love it later." There's a flight academy here, and you're welcome to attend. ”
Tiger said, "There are very few people who can pull people out of Fred personally. ”
Although Meng Qian could tell from their tones that his talent was very good, his legs were still weak: "Let's talk about it in a few days, for now, I only have fear of flying." ”
"You will." Tiger is sure.
……
In fact, on the second day of waking up at the Las Vegas Hotel, Meng Qian really missed the feeling of being on a plane, of course, not the kind of life and death that he had to die in aerobatics. He likes to fly freely under the blue sky and has an open heart, isn't there a flight school here?
He used the web at hand to make inquiries.
Learning to fly in the United States turned out to be a common thing, and even before 911, foreigners flew casually. Thanks to its large airspace, the number of private jets exceeds 300,000, which is a number that cannot necessarily be surpassed by the sum of the second to tenth places.
So just like the thriving aircraft market in the United States, flight schools are also very popular, especially for general aviation aircraft piloting, and there are no less than three schools in the casino alone! And the cost is not too high, for a super-rich man like him, it is not as good as a night in the presidential suite.
In addition, there are full-time and class time systems, the former is to attend classes every day, learn at the fastest speed, and get a certificate in about two or three months; The latter is arbitrary, come when you are free, and you can only get the certificate after passing each assessment, and the time is not limited, and it is not surprising that it takes two or three years.
Meng Qian took advantage of the fact that he still had a little work here, and he was idle most of the time, and he couldn't go to the girls like before, so he could only cultivate his interest.
Therefore, he signed up to study, first physical examination, identity check, and only after passing can he be formally trained in the aviation school, combining theoretical knowledge and operational knowledge.
The results were not long in coming.
As Tiger and Fred said, Meng Qian's physical condition is very good, he can adapt to the short period of high G-value, and his eyesight is also good and his reflexes are strong.
This was the ideal condition for the selection of pilots, and he did not give up his advantage.
I started learning in school with the books I bought, from the boring classroom to the operation of the simulator, and then to the actual contact with the real machine, the operation is easier than I imagined, but the theory is very complicated.
On his third day at school, Meng Qian saw the activities of the Flamingo Club, where members gathered at the airport to take off, detour and go to their third destination.
Meng Qian ran to the side and looked up at the sky, envious of these people.
"You did." Fred stood next to him.
"I went with the dream of being able to fly a fighter jet in the future." Meng Qian set a big goal for himself - when he learned that Tiger had Mi 24 and Su 30.
"Who doesn't want to fly a fighter plane?" Fred crossed his arms, "After you get a private photo, we can train you in a targeted manner to make you more comfortable with fighter operations." ”
"I will." Meng Qian nodded, although he couldn't go to the Air Force Academy, he didn't want to be in the Air Force, he just wanted to go to the pilot.
In the perspective of sharing new things, he also posted some pictures of learning in his circle of friends. Piloting the plane allowed fans to see a different richest man.
For a long time, Meng Qian has given the outside world the feeling that he is possessed by "technology + business", or it is those lace news that envy others, and all kinds of beautiful female companions.
No one could have imagined that he was interested in flying sports, especially in the domestic flying and teaching environment, and flying an airplane felt like a high level of fun.
This novelty discovery, coupled with his 20 million people. Bo fans, the original sharing, but the number of replies and likes that were envious and jealous became popular, not only on the homepage, but also on the headlines of other websites.
The news also borrowed this fire to talk about Meng Qian's hobbies and take stock of the different unpopular pleasures of billionaires; Discuss the domestic flight environment and want to open up more public airspace; There was even a ...... to study the flight watch in his photo
He is really the king of topics, and a small act has attracted the attention of countless people.
After Meng Qian saw that he had no intention of causing excitement on the Internet, he didn't know whether to laugh at his influence or cry because he was stared at by so many pairs of eyes all the time. (To be continued.) )
