When they were in Beiku, Li Zhan and the other falcons were able to fly three times in a row to fly for seven hours in one day, and the highest record was eight hours and thirty minutes set by Li Zhan.

The high-intensity training has brought about a significant increase in the combat effectiveness of the troops, a large consumption of aviation fuel and related aviation materials, and of course, a large number of engine life hours.

In the past many years, the main reason why the troops are reluctant to fly is not "afraid of accidents", and there is no word "afraid of death" in the dictionary of the squadron, although it went to the extreme in order to ensure safety and left some phenomena that the world criticized, such as preferring not to fly in order to ensure safety, but to analyze this phenomenon, we should look at the essence through the surface. In the final analysis, why the troops were extremely safe was a question of military spending. It is difficult for the younger generation, including the new generation, to imagine the environment in which the predecessors were at the beginning, they even came up with a way to replace aviation fuel with alcohol, why are they afraid of falling off the plane, poor! One less one fell, one less means the loss of the standing forces of national defense.

It's all about making the poor troublesome.

Li Zhan's generation of pilots can be regarded as catching up at a good time, don't look at him when he gets out of the army, he drives the second-generation aircraft backward when he arrives in Beiku, or he still drives the N-hand second-generation aircraft, but aviation fuel and aviation materials have never been an obstacle, and they are enough to manage and be full. At the beginning, he was eager to kneel down to Zheng Kaiyun, the then station commander, for three tons of aviation fuel, not because of the aviation fuel of the troops, but because of the quota of the 101st Regiment itself at that time.

To put it mildly, twenty years ago, pilots like Li Zhan had already been forced to change careers, and they hurriedly got out of the way - let him fall like this, and lay down first without the enemy to hit him.

Therefore, we should look at the problem relatively, compare ourselves yesterday and today to see if we have made progress, often compare vertically and occasionally horizontally, and compare horizontally and strong enemies to put some pressure on ourselves.

Today's troops' training intensity has made great progress compared with the past, and the thinking of combat training from top to bottom is also changing; although there is still a considerable gap between them and the strong enemy, in the final analysis, it is really only a matter of money.

Just finished the long-range actual combat confrontation exercise, completed the first actual combat test flight plan, and immediately prepared for night flight in the early morning, such a compact arrangement was unimaginable in the past, but now it seems commonplace.

The Eagle Falcon Brigade led by Li Zhan is known for its ultra-high-intensity combat training of "fighting hard yourself," and Chen Fei's 99th Division of the Hainan Airlines, known as the South China Sea Eagles, patrols the South China Sea airspace every day.

It can be seen that the higher-ups arranged for them to form a test plane group after careful consideration.

No. 1616 J-16 completed ground support and was once again towed to the take-off line of the runway by a tractor, where the maintenance crew directly ensured that the pilots boarded and took off.

Chen Fei arrived at the scene in advance, and first checked the situation of the plane with the maintenance team, Li Zhan arrived at the time point, holding a flight helmet in his hand and a gadget in the other hand.

"What's that?" Chen Fei asked curiously.

Li Zhan showed it and said, "The low-light night vision device, Lao Lu's equipment, can be installed on the flight helmet if it is changed." ”

"Good stuff, anything else?" Chen Fei's eyes lit up.

Li Zhan said, "That's it." When I was in Beiku, I met a person who was engaged in military investigation, and he gave him a gift. ”

"I'll get one later, this thing is too useful for night flights." Chen Fei said.

Li Zhan put the low-light night vision device on the helmet, adjusted the position and said with a smile, "The 99th Division of Hainan Airlines is so watery, just buy a third-generation flight helmet." ”

(沓水: Rich)

"I'll have to decide that." Chen Fei said, "Besides, the third-generation flight equipment has not yet been finalized, where to buy it." ”

Li Zhan walked towards Niu Yaoyang and said, "It's also good to get some samples, and we can also give them some suggestions for improvement." ”

"First brother, the plane is fine." Niu Yaoyang handed over the maintenance list and accompanied Li Zhan to check them one by one, "There are several rubber rings on the right side of the main landing gear that are seriously worn, and we have replaced them, you see." ”

Li Zhan took the flashlight handed over by Niu Yaoyang, carefully checked the position of the replaced rubber ring, and after confirming that there was no problem, he crossed and said, "Okay, no problem." ”

After checking the exterior and the two boarding, Niu Yaoyang stood on the side of the front cabin and said, "Four tons of fuel have been added, and the total fuel volume is four .7 tons, you see." ”

Li Zhan confirmed that the value on the fuel gauge was correct and crossed it.

Because it was a test flight and the aircraft was a prototype that had not yet been finalized, everyone was very serious, and any clues to any problems would be found and solved. In addition to the maintenance team, the manufacturer's technical team is also on site, they provide technical support for the maintenance team at any time, and will work with the maintenance team to carry out ground support work when needed.

It took more than half an hour to complete the inspection, which can be described as very careful.

Niu Yaoyang picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered: "Leave the scene!" ”

The power supply truck, nitrogen refueling vehicle, tool cart, etc. were quickly evacuated, and Niu Yao finally checked the scene to confirm that there was not even a single stone left, and then reported that all the tower maintenance left the site.

The tower ordered, in the early morning of the night, the No. 1616 J-16 fighter took off with a bang, and chose to carry out a night flight in the early morning after the end of the day's flight at the tourist airport, which well avoided the drill valley. It is not that the more thrilling the better, the actual combat test flight work is highly targeted, and there must be trade-offs in the practice process.

Tonight's mission is to conduct a confrontation drill with the air force ground and air units deployed in the southeast coastal area to test the fighter's night combat capability in actual use.

This air-ground confrontation drill was coordinated a long time ago, so this was also a confrontation drill in which the higher authorities did not cancel the night flight because the daytime confrontation drill was relatively solid. It is not easy to organize a confrontation exercise between air-ground units, and although they are all air force units, the organization and coordination mechanism has not changed much from more than 10 years ago.

When flying over Nanchang, Chen Fei reminded Li Zhan, "Arrive at the thirteenth navigation point and contact Fu Zhi." ”

"The thirteenth navigation point, contact Fu Zhi, understood." Li Zhan repeated the operation password and switched the communication channel to call the Fuzhou command post, "Fu Zhi, I am the sixth test unit, the sky above Nanchang, the sea height is 6000, the course is 30, listen to your command, over." ”

The officer on duty at the Fuzhou command post was waiting solemnly, and the commander on duty immediately replied, "Test sixth, I saw you on the radar, adjust the course 90, and give you the order to start the confrontation drill later, over." ”

"Adjust course 90, listen to the order later, over."

Li Zhan adjusted the nose of the aircraft to 90 degrees to maintain a high speed. Looking down through the canopy glass, you can feel the strong pulse of the country's economy. Taking off from Zhongnanchang Station and turning to the east, even if you pass through the Zhongnan mountainous area, you can see the lights dotted in the mountains, like the bright lights of the galaxy, fly southeast over Nanchang, and see the continuous light strips, and the ground light that is connected together is the town and countryside.

"Some economists say that the easiest way to judge a country's economic situation is to take a night flight around the sky." Chen Fei was also enjoying the ground light show in the early hours of the morning, and said with a smile.

Li Zhan said, "Very effective judgment method, but this area is poor, the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, Wuhan urban agglomeration, Chongqing urban agglomeration and other places, the lights are amazing." When we used to fly long distances at night, we crossed the whole of China from west to east earlier, and the lights on the ground never disappeared. ”

It's 3:07 a.m., and most of the places are asleep, and the fact that you can still see a large number of ground lights in this situation is a testament to the strength of the local economy. Conversely, ensuring a peaceful and stable environment for the localities and concentrating on economic development is an important prerequisite for local economic development.

"Only when we have experienced poverty abroad can we know what a wonderful country we live in."

Li Zhan sighed with emotion, glanced at the flight parameters, and said, "Ready to fight, contact Fu Zhi." ”

"Understood." Chen Fei immediately called the Fuzhou command post, "Fu Zhi Fu Zhi, test the sixth report, we have entered the confrontation airspace, request to enter the confrontation procedure, over." ”

The Fuzhou command post immediately replied, "The test is sixth, you can enter the confrontation procedure, pay attention, there is important weather on the southeast coast, and the wind signal has crossed the 200-kilometer line, over." ”

"You can enter the confrontation procedure, within the 200-kilometer line of important weather on the southeast coast, understand, over." Chen Fei repeated the instructions of the Fuzhou command post to confirm that the instructions were clearly understood.

The ice and snow disaster in the south has just passed, and the Spring Festival has begun, and the southern coast and southeast coast have ushered in a nine-month typhoon season, with as few as seven or eight or more than a dozen tropical storms, typhoons, and super typhoons landing or having an important impact every year, so the important weather on the southeast coast is commonplace for the "Test 16" unit from the west line station.

The benefits of experienced pilots who have a wealth of experience in dealing with important weather are evident whenever they encounter important weather. Of course, he didn't dare to claim to be senior if he hadn't encountered a few dangers or even dropped on one or two planes, at least that's what Li Zhan thought.

There has never been a genius, what is given by nature is just a handsome skin, and the connotation needs to be obtained by hard training. The so-called long-term illness becomes a doctor, there is no danger expert in the world, but after falling too much, he becomes a danger expert.

At present, the air force combat unit has not yet formed a system, and many combat systems can only rely on relatively simple communication methods to achieve the goal of joint operations, that is to say, the opponent of the 1616 J-16 this time is only a ground-to-air missile unit equivalent to a regimental unit, and they have long deployed fixed air defense missile positions and mobile air defense missile positions in some areas.

What the J-16 fighter-bomber No. 1616 had to do was to "kick the door" and test the aircraft's ability to open air passages.
