Chapter 497: Six Old Birds Go to the Sky

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the six Chujiaoliu were lined up in front of the hangar, all the inspection work had been completed, and the maintenance personnel responsible for supporting the planes were lined up in a straddle posture on the side of the plane, waiting for the arrival of the pilots.

All the planes have been decorated, using controllable light strips, with four modes to choose from, and a smoke puller has been added under the wings, when there will be a high-power searchlight on the ground to illuminate the stage above, and the plane will fly over to pull the smoke will show a different effect than during the day.

Six pilots wearing different flight suits and big sunglasses got off the coaster and walked over in a dashing line, with Li Zhan and Gao Yuan in the center. Their steady and unrestrained steps are like airplanes in a glide, and their arms swinging back and forth are like the wings of an airplane.

It gives people a sense of déjà vu rushing into the sky.

Li Zhan and Chen Fei wore their own flight suits, the Air Force autumn flight suits, the blue ones like factory uniforms. Gao Yuan and the other four are the standard suits, trousers, and big leather shoes (hai) of the civil aviation captain, which looks much more fashionable than the slightly rustic air force blue flight suit.

They didn't wear flight helmets, and the civil aviation captain didn't have that thing, but this flight didn't need that, the plane was basically operating in low airspace below a thousand meters, and there was no problem with oxygen supply.

After the typhoon detour, the weather at Gaoqi Airport improved, the sun was shining, there were no clouds, and the sun in the afternoon was a little unusually hot, which added to everyone's enthusiasm. Nearly 1,000 people are preparing for the early morning flight Spring Festival Gala, and the most important thing is the flight show.

The regional civil aviation administration and air traffic control said that the flight show can only be carried out if there is no problem, otherwise it will be taken down directly. Therefore, the next six people not only have to run in the process several times, but also carefully scrutinize the flight safety issues to ensure that nothing goes wrong, so that they can pass the approval of the leaders of the regional civil aviation administration and air traffic control.

Everyone is very confident.

Boarding the planes separately, when Li Zhan was standing on the boarding ladder, Chen Fei on the side said to him loudly, "Lao Li, the sixth junior teacher has no afterburner, you can click on it leisurely." ”

"If you don't have afterburner, you have to drive leisurely, so how can you open it." Li Zhan asked with a smile.

Chen Fei was helpless, patted the cockpit canopy, and said, "This is a plane of a local airline." ”

"Oh, I see." Li Zhan suddenly understood.

Chen Fei's worries are not unreasonable, none of the planes that Li Zhan has handled can be all bearded and tailed, you look at the No. 037 J-7EGG, it was all broken like that at that time, and at the worst time, it sounded everywhere except for the horn. But she calculates it, at least the plastic surgery is repaired and improved again and again, and the others are either returned to the furnace or put into the cold palace.

It's easy to talk about your own plane, it's good to fly, as long as anything happens to the sky, and it wasn't he Li Zhan who cut it with a knife, so no matter how big the loss is, it's hard to say anything to the leader of the army, and you have to give him a meritorious service award.

But this time it was a plane from a other airline, although it was said to be a very cheap beginner six, if it was damaged, it would be a compensation of as little as 1.8 million and more than two or three million!

But then again, airlines don't necessarily have to pay compensation, they want to have a chance to make the troops owe them a favor, and they may even want you to break it.

After sitting in the cockpit, Li Zhan gently stroked the slightly rough instrument panel, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart: "This is our first love, I still remember her taste, it is this familiar touch, he is the goddess in the hearts of all pilots, I can still feel his stubborn and tiny joystick calling me......"

The radio was turned on, and everyone else couldn't help but laugh.

Gao Yuan smiled and said, "I echoed it too." ”

"Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, too."

The sister in the control seat of the tower burst out laughing, but she didn't expect the four captains, who are usually as serious as the teaching director, to have such a cute side.

The control Xi Meizhi interrupted the greasy captains' laughter, "Uh, Big Bird One, you guys are ready to come over and wait in line for takeoff, high flag ground." ”

After finishing speaking, she let go of the call button and whispered: "What kind of call sign is not good to call a big bird, is it big?" ”

Li Zhan stopped joking, he hurriedly replied, "Big Bird No. 1 received it, ready to drive, over." ”

The conscience of heaven and earth, Li Zhan and them just started it casually, it was just a call sign, it doesn't matter what it is, as long as you have real skills.

They adopt the formation of large long planes, the so-called large long planes refer to a number of aircraft formations in charge of commanding a long plane, the formation of the formation of the formation below and the small long planes, with this strict formation structure to ensure the smooth and safe flight show.

Li Zhan is the undisputed big long plane, but also a small long plane, his wingman is Chen Fei, and Gao Yuan and Lao Fang are small long planes, each with a wingman. The small long plane makes movements according to the movements of the big long plane, and the wingman watches the movements of the small long plane, and must not take a step beyond the thunder pool.

This ensures that there will be no mid-air collisions.

There was a mechanic who raised his hands and drew circles towards the sky, and if he twisted his ass again, it would be like jumping.

Li Zhan twisted the start switch, the plane shuddered, the HS-6 star-type air-cooled 9-cylinder engine manufactured by Zhuzhou Engine Factory started, Li Zhan looked sideways at the nose, the double-bladed propeller had rotated, and then looked at the maintenance, the maintenance gave a thumbs up and raised it to confirm that the propellers rotated normally.

Whether it's a piston or a jet, the proper operation of the engines needs to be confirmed by ground crew, because if the instrument data shows the wrong plane, once the aircraft takes off, it can cause a serious accident. Airplanes with multiple engines even have strict process requirements when the engine is running, and it is not the pilot who pushes the switch.

The HS-6 engine can provide 260 horsepower, which is not even as powerful as some car engines used in cars, but the Beginner 6 weighs just over a ton, and this engine is fully capable of driving the aircraft at speeds of up to 280 kilometers per hour and taking off within 300 meters.

It is completely sufficient for a junior trainer, and the engine has shown to be very durable and very cheap to maintain. To a certain extent, it may not cost much more to maintain such an aircraft than to maintain a car of the same price, of course, provided that the management fee is aside.

The Civil Aviation Flight Academy has its own fleet of trainers, but with the expansion of the school, it has long been insufficient, and it is not cost-effective for the school to have a large number of aircraft, so it buys services from airlines through leasing training. The first batch of six teachers of a certain airline is to take over this kind of business, and occasionally cooperate with some general aviation clubs to engage in civil flight training.

To put it bluntly, it's a driving school.

The other five junior trainers reported that they were ready to slide out, and Li Zhan immediately contacted the ground control seat, and after getting approval, he took the lead and followed the guide car to slide out.

Between three and four o'clock in the afternoon was a relatively less busy hour at Gaoqi Airport, with only fifteen flights taking off and landing in total, so the airport gave Li Zhan and them a twenty-minute window to take off.

In fact, in Li Zhan's view, this is because the civil aviation airport control is very cautious and serious, otherwise it can be inserted into the normal take-off queue to take off, and each plane has one minute of time, and it can even take off directly from the taxiway. However, the airport control is obviously worried about the eventuality, after all, if there is no accident on a civil aviation flight, it is a major matter, which is related to the life safety of hundreds of passengers, and it is not too cautious.

In order to minimize the impact on the normal operation of the airport, Li Zhan proposed a segmented take-off method, that is, six planes lined up on the runway at a distance of 500 meters and then took off at the same time.

After careful research, both the airport and the air traffic control agreed that this was a very good approach, and two of the six pilots in charge of the operation, and four senior captains from the four major airlines, could ensure that nothing went wrong. The airport is more excited that if they take this way, they only need five minutes to take off, which means that the next plane can take off and land five minutes after they take off.

There is little disruption to the airport's normal take-off and landing schedules, which is very attractive.

After entering the flight area, the remaining five people followed the waiting guide car one after another to the entrance of each runway to wait in line. Looking down from the control tower, the six beginner six movements are neatly aligned, and there are no obstacles in front of it, which is pleasing to the eye.

The controllers of the tower were fed up with the flight students, so much so that when they saw the first six students, they thought of the clumsy flight students, and now it was six old birds piloting, and the plane had already had the feeling of performing before it took off, and the two feelings were more profound than the feelings.

The tower conductor is a big sister in her thirties, and she hangs a DSLR camera around her neck. Miss Xi smiled and asked, "Chief Yang wants to take pictures of them?" ”

"Well, there aren't many opportunities for the Four Heavenly Kings to fly together, and it's still the sixth of the first sect, so I have to take a picture to commemorate it." Chief Sister Yang said with a smile.

The young lady of the control seat smiled and showed two little tiger teeth, and said, "They haven't flown together, okay, they are all big bulls of various airlines, and they don't bring ordinary students, and this time they are all dispatched." It's Sister Yang, are you going to the evening party? ”

"Go...... Go ahead. Chief Yang hesitated.

Miss Xi blinked her eyes and said, "I heard that there are a lot of soldiers, and I heard that they are all so handsome." Don't you want to find another one? But don't compete with me for pilots, it's just two, we'll control the booking. ”

"You're still booked." Chief Yang smiled angrily, "Don't be poor and concentrate on your work." ”

"Yes!" The control lady smiled mischievously and saluted.

She gave the take-off order to the old bird formation, and then handed over the command to the district management center.

Li Zhan listened to the unique clatter of the piston engine, as if returning to the hot summer many years ago, from that summer he fell in love with flying, found the true meaning of life in the blue sky, and then sensed the pulse of the times through the aerial artillery, and the aviation fire made him understand the spirit of the Chinese Air Force pilots.

The Great Wall of Steel made of flesh and blood represents the spirit, and the Great Wall of the motherland's airspace made of steel is the goal of our generation.

With the cockpit canopy open, it slowly climbed to 300 meters at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour and quickly broke away from the airspace on the five sides, feeling the warm spring breeze and regaining the sense of youth and flying era. It's like driving back to a 212 jeep after driving a super-high-horsepower off-road vehicle and an advanced performance sedan, the rough workmanship and hard seats and the air conditioner that you turn on to cool and heat you are all ruthlessly narrating the passage of time.

Li Zhan stretched out one hand and spread his five fingers to face the wind, and shouted loudly: "D cup!" ”

The others didn't know what to do, and when they turned their heads to look at Li Zhan's movements, they immediately laughed crazy.

Captain Fang asked in a loud voice, "I said how long has it been since you started the sixth year of the Junior Sect?" I feel so good right now, it's like driving a classic car. ”

Usually I drive a large plane of dozens of tons, and I suddenly operate a ton-heavy beginner six and there is no one in the back cabin, that feeling seems to have regained the feeling of the first **, refreshing and numb.

"After graduating from the aviation school, I never drove it again, and later changed to civil aviation and became an instructor and took the trainees to contact them often." Captain Liang said.

Captain Gao said, "We are all instructors of various airlines and often come into contact with the sixth junior school, Xiao Li and Xiao Chen should not have opened for some days, right?" ”

Li Zhan said, "Yes, I have driven fighter transport planes and bombers for many years, but I have not revisited the warmth of the sixth year of the first religion in the past few years. ”

"Hey, Xiao Li, you have quite a lot of quasi-aircraft types, how many years have you been driving?" Captain Fang asked in surprise.

Li Zhan said with a smile, "It's been more than three years since I left the army, old comrade." ”

"Hey, you little comrade is very annoying, you've only been an old comrade for more than three years......" Captain Fang laughed, but he didn't continue to ask.

Even if you leave the army, the secrecy code is engraved in your bones, and some things cannot be said or asked until death.

"Turn left at 210, guys, get ready to enter the training airspace." After Li Zhan communicated with the air traffic control, he gave instructions to the formation.

"Understood!"

The six-plane formation turned southwest into the sky above the suburbs, and Captain Gao overlooked the beautiful land, and suddenly became interested, and said, "Old Fang, let's make a joke." ”

"Jokes, huh? Think about it! Captain Fang smiled and thought slightly, and said, "Yes, tell a joke with test implications, just four words, whoever laughed the first time and who didn't, I'll give conclusions one by one in a while." ”

"Come on." Captain Liang couldn't wait.

These six heads are like middle-aged men who suddenly have the opportunity to get rid of their wives and children, as well as work chores, and their lovers, and they have made an appointment to drive an old car and go out on an outing.

Captain Fang said, "See the stitches." ”

"Hahaha!" Captain Liang laughed.

"Hahahaha!" Another captain named Wang, surnamed Wang, also laughed.

Captain Gao smiled a little reservedly, and said, "There are comrades from the army, pay attention to telling jokes." ”

Li Zhan and Chen Fei didn't laugh, both of them were stunned - is the idiom of seeing stitches and needles so funny?

Captain Fang asked, "Xiao Li Xiaochen, why don't you two laugh?" ”

"Didn't you hear the laughter, did you say something after the break? Got a mystery? Li Zhan wondered, the first time he encountered something he didn't understand.

At this time, Chen Fei's eyes suddenly froze, and then he couldn't help laughing, "I understand, hahaha!" ”

Li Zhan was angry, "Hey, what do you mean?" ”

Captain Fang said, "I said Xiao Li, do you really not understand or pretend not to understand?" ”

"I really don't understand, what do you mean?" Li Zhan smiled angrily.

Captain Fang changed his tone to all men and said slowly, "See the seams, insert the needle......"

At this time, Captain Gao sighed, "It's still good to be in the army, and I'm back in the place, alas, the local society is a big dye vat......"

Li Zhan still didn't understand, what a simple child.

PS: After dinner, when I was smoking on the balcony, I saw a two-plane formation night flight, and noticed that the navigation lights of the long plane were brighter and flashed for a longer time, and I thought that this would not be a rule, so I asked the comrades in the group at the moment, and I replied yes. Really, I guess I'm crazy after this book, and it's all about these things in my head. However, it is quite rewarding to receive praise from the brothers.
