"How much is your plane, and is it expensive? I also want to get a pilot's license, so that it will be much easier to go to Sydney or other places in the future, and I don't have to wait. "Now that the ranch is slowly coming to an end, as long as the winter wheat is harvested and sold, the first income will be obtained, and the wool that Joseph has sheared is still in the warehouse, ready to be bought by the buyers!

"The difference in the price of helicopters is very large, my three planes belong to different types, this helicopter is the cheapest, the performance is not as good as the rest, flying a few hundred kilometers is about the same, last year I bought 180,000 Australian dollars, this is the Rotway A600 produced by the United States Rotway company, now it should be almost 150,000, there is not much room for price reduction. I also have a piston fixed-wing aircraft, produced in Pilatus, Switzerland, which can generally fly 1,500 kilometers, and the price is a bit more expensive, more than 800 Australian dollars, which is considered the most top-of-the-line configuration. As for the jet fixed-wing aircraft being assembled, the parts sent from Boeing in the United States cost more than a million Australian dollars, and it will be more expensive when I slowly assemble them. ”

These numbers hit Wang Hao's heart directly, and the money in his bank card is estimated to be enough to buy two jets, and then he will have to drink the northwest wind. After a brief weighing, he could only afford to buy an ordinary helicopter or a piston fixed-wing aircraft, which was too noisy and not suitable for ranching.

"The regulation of private jets in Australia is very relaxed, and it is easy to get a driver's license, because flying an aircraft is generally automated operation. According to Australian law, citizens can get a pilot driver's license as long as they are at least 17 years old. The total flight time of the certified students must be at least 40 hours, and it only costs 6,000 Australian dollars to get a driver's license, including all the costs of hiring an instructor, renting an airplane and petrol, and anyone can buy a plane. "Brad is simply an airplane controller, and he comes with these terms and conditions as soon as he opens his mouth, and he doesn't need to imagine at all, after all, the cowboys on his ranch are going to be discharged.

However, there is an altitude limit for the flight of private jets, which cannot exceed a maximum of 18,000 feet, and is not allowed to exceed cloud cover, and the general speed is around 150 miles per hour. He also proudly told Wang Hao that with an airplane, there is no need to worry about road traffic congestion, in addition to saving time, the cost of flying an airplane is lower than driving a car, the aviation gasoline used in the plane is 4.5 Australian dollars a gallon, and the small plane only uses a dozen gallons per hour, and it costs less than 30 Australian dollars to fly an hour, which is more expensive than driving a car.

The documents for the aircraft are not universal, but each type of license corresponds to a model. If you want to learn to fly an airplane, you must first set the product model and find an aircraft manufacturer to buy, this cycle can be long or short, from a week to half a year.

"Why do I only need to learn 40 hours, but your cowboy needs to learn even longer?" Wang Hao didn't understand that it was easier to get an airplane driver's license so easily, which was easier than taking a motor vehicle driver's license. Speaking of which, he hasn't even registered for a driver's license yet, and he doesn't dare to drive on the road alone, and it will be miserable if he is found by the police.

"Helicopter grazing is very efficient, but at the same time it is fraught with danger. Ultra-low-altitude flights place higher demands on pilots, and about 10 helicopter cowboys die in accidents every year. Despite the danger, the high pay still attracts a lot of cowboys, and our ranch is almost entirely grassland, there are no woods, just a little above the ranch boundary, which is much safer...... To become an air cowboy, you must first have 110 hours of standard flying experience and at least 150 hours of low-altitude flying experience. However, if you want to be a good helicopter herd, you need to fly at least 1,500 hours. ”

The 120,000-acre ranch looked quite large, but it quickly circled the plane and finally landed slowly in the courtyard. The hostess looked quite young, and she stood a little farther away with great experience, waiting until the propellers of the helicopter had stopped spinning before slowly approaching. She was wearing a long red dress, and she looked quite flamboyant, not like a ranch hostess, but like a lady in Manhattan. She gave Wang Hao a big hug cordially, then turned around and kissed Brad lightly, and said: "I was woken up by this plane just when I was sleeping, next time I will change to that less noisy plane, so as not to be complained by neighbors." ”

Hearing this, Wang Hao touched his nose lightly, as Brad's neighbor, he really didn't plan to complain! Brad laughed heartily, patted Wang Hao on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, man, you're not going to complain about me, are you?" ”

"If you come a few more times, I guess I'll have to complain about you." Wang Hao smiled and blinked before he heard Brad introduce himself to his wife, avoiding embarrassment.

Just finished the bumpy helicopter, Wang Hao's stomach was tumbling, and his ears were buzzing, and there seemed to be noise echoing in his ears. He looked around for a moment, and then took a serious look at the surrounding scene, and found that the courtyard was a large rose bush, a few bees flying on the blooming roses to collect honey, and a teddy dog lying on the steps basking in the sun.

"Man, how are you feeling now? If you're not feeling well, take a break, I know how you're feeling right now. Brad looked at Wang Hao's somewhat pale face, and felt a little reluctant to go, knowing that he didn't know anything, and tempted him to take the most bumpy plane.

Wang Hao took a deep breath, thinking about how he should get to Thor, and estimated that Luna had almost chosen the harness now. I didn't drive a horse when I came over, and now it's still a question of how to go back, such a long distance, and I didn't have any sense of safety at the time, what if Brad was a robber or a bad guy? Just get in his car and come to his ranch with confidence.

Australia is a country where guns are legally owned, and many Australians, or 5.2% of Australian adults, legally own firearms, which are used in hunting, wildlife control, target shooting, etc. Since the 20th century, low violent crime rates have kept government attention to gun control low. However, over the past 20 years, a series of cases of mass destruction have caused public concern. As a result, the state and federal governments have enacted stricter gun control laws.

But in such a vast ranch, almost everyone has a gun, and there is no sense of security without a gun. This is not the Garden of Eden, burglaries happen from time to time, and it is especially dangerous to have no guns in the ranch.

Seeing Wang Hao's hesitation, Brad whispered a few words in his wife's ear, then walked to the side of the off-road vehicle, opened the car door and sat in, beckoning to Wang Hao: "I'll go to the supermarket in the town to buy something, let's go, isn't there a beautiful woman waiting for you over there?" ”

I knew very well that this was just an excuse that Brad wanted to send him over, and in his current situation, could he refuse except to accept it?

Come and see the Great Juggernaut
