"Use the backup plan to alternate the landing at the plateau airport, which can guarantee the Jian-8, and the Jian-8 is also no problem." Zhu Wei said.

The content of the training task is very simple, and it can be summed up in one word - fly. Tactical reconnaissance planes have to run fast and fly high, and these two points are precisely the advantages of the beautiful man in the air. But this guy is also a traditional old problem - short legs, even shorter than the few new models at the back of the J-7.

It is impossible to run 3,000 kilometers with an auxiliary fuel tank, and the entire training flight path is 3,600 kilometers. In other words, if you don't refuel in the air, you can only fly one way.

The alternate landing plateau airport is a backup plan used when there is a problem with air refueling, and Li Zhan will not be able to refuel in the air, so he can only directly take the backup plan.

The order has been given, the dispatch is definitely going to be dispatched, and the training is definitely going to be carried out.

Li Zhan pondered and said, "In this way, I can only take off from the plateau airfield for the second reconnaissance training and conduct it in the opposite direction with you." ”

The higher authorities demanded two reconnaissance trainings, one to the south and one to return to the original route, with a total range of nearly 4,000 kilometers and a considerable length of time in the air.

"Or there is no second training mission, you need to wait for orders." Zhu Wei said.

Li Zhan thought about it, stood up and said, "Come according to your requirements, but I have to do a test flight, and I have to know the performance of the new Jian-8." ”

There are still more than five hours before the departure time in the afternoon, and it is in time.

The training task is very simple, fly more than 1,000 kilometers south along the airspace line, and fly more than 1,000 kilometers when you come back. However, the area through which the flight route passes is not a flat river, and there are various terrains, such as plateaus, glaciers, peaks, and canyons, which are very complex.

This is only one aspect, and the weather conditions in the area you pass through are all familiar. How to deal with what to do in any situation, multiple backup plans need to be kept in mind.

To Li Zhan, these are nothing, the real threat is well known to everyone, needless to say.

After all, he hadn't been in contact with the J-8FR for a year, and Li Zhan really wanted to familiarize himself with the fighter. Moreover, the J-8FR equipped by the Nighthawk Squadron was improved on the basis of the original test model used by Li Zhan, so Li Zhan had to make a flight in advance. x33 update fastest Mobile: ://

Needless to say, Zhu Wei immediately went to the tower to serve as the commander, and the other two pilots introduced the J-8FR to Li Zhan.

“…… The flight control system of the J-10 was used, and it was displayed three times at a level, but the avionics were basically replaced anyway, and the 23-mm cannon was removed and replaced with a high-speed camera. Old captain, except for the flight control system, the others are not much different from the test model you originally used. Codenamed Nighthawk 3 introduced. X33 debut

Li Zhan also understood why his superiors urgently transferred him, after driving the SU-27SK, it was just a familiar process to get started with the J-8FR with the same flight control system as the J-10. The mass-produced J-8FR equipped by the Nighthawk squadron is, strictly speaking, a product of the same level as the last model of the J-8, the J-8T. They all made their first flights last year, and a lot of technology transferred from the J-10 was used. It is a little newer than the J-8G, which made its first flight a few years earlier.

The particularity of tactical reconnaissance planes first determines that they will not be equipped in large quantities, and sometimes four or five planes will be manufactured, or even each of them will have its own advantages and disadvantages, and even sometimes in order to carry out a certain task, the army will ask the manufacturer to produce a fighter plane that is completely oriented to the task. X33 debut

The old J Detective 8 still has to hang the reconnaissance pod, the new J Detective 8 has integrated the function of the reconnaissance pod into the fighter, even the cannon has been canceled, from part-time to full-time, the nature of use has changed, everything has to be with this side.

The original Nighthawk squadron was placed in the Second Division, and now the specifications are directly under the Guangzhou Air Command, which already explains the problem.

Li Zhan could even conclude that in several military regions, there would probably be only the Guangkong and Nankong airspace, otherwise there would be no need to transfer the Nighthawk squadron to Beiku for actual combat training.

After listening carefully to the introduction, Li Zhan pointed to the circular one-piece windshield and said, "This is a newly produced aircraft." ”

It should be pointed out that the manufacturer's improvement of the J-8FR was basically based on the data and opinions put forward by Li Zhan at that time, and it was completely based on the actual combat requirements, especially the strength of the airframe and the combat capability in the bad weather environment.

At that time, the three rivers were fighting floods, and Li Zhankai J-8FR used a variety of ammunition to strike at ground targets, and the data parameters obtained in this operation provided a "golden rule" for the ground attack training of aviation units, filling a gap in this field. No matter how good the training practice is, the data obtained from a real operation is more real and accurate.

From a military point of view, the first-class merit that Li Zhan got for this was not only to open the flood outlet, but also to obtain valuable data.

"Yes, the one you originally drove was improved on the basis of the F type, and we are now using all new production, and the body strength is better." Nighthawk 3 replied.

The typical three-sided windshield of the J-8 is gone, and it has been replaced with an integrated windshield with the same vision as the third-generation aircraft such as SU-27 and J-10, which looks much more fashionable.

"Well, has the canopy mechanism been treated in any way?" Li Zhan asked.

Nighthawk 3 couldn't help but laugh and said, "Old captain, please rest assured, there will never be another failure like the cockpit canopy falling off." ”

The cockpit canopy falls off, and this kind of thing can be experienced once in a lifetime.

Almost every thing, every flight and even every operation that Li Zhan experienced in driving the J-8FR has become the standard requirement of the Nighthawk squadron, and the handling of dangerous situations has formed a standard disposal plan that has been popularized throughout the army, especially the HNA side.

Therefore, the pilots of the Nighthawk squadron were very familiar with the deeds of the first squadron leader.

Li Zhan sat in the cockpit of the No. 101 J-8FR, looking at the instrument panel that was more neat, modern and advanced than the SU-27SK, and his heart was full of emotion. Like the Flying Leopard, the overall design of the J-8 is no longer suitable for the requirements of future wars, otherwise it can get the same long life cycle as the H-6. The F-16 and F-15 have been in service for thirty or forty years, and their appearance has not changed much, but the content and combat capabilities inside are very different. You can see how important the platform is.

Isn't it the same with the SU-27, what a huge family.

The mechanic helped Li Zhan connect the radio of the flight helmet and connect the oxygen mask, Li Zhan didn't check one well, he ticked the checklist, and proceeded in an orderly manner, after Li Zhan signed, the mechanic patted Li Zhan's helmet and left the plane.

The boarding ladder was removed, Li Zhan closed the cockpit canopy, and the two Nighthawks and the officers and soldiers of the maintenance crew on one side stood together and gave him a thumbs up.

Li Zhan raised his right hand with white labor protection gloves and saluted, gently pushed the accelerator and slid out.

As soon as Li Zhan was launched, he felt that the power was much stronger than the original J-8FR, and the engine thrust-to-weight ratio reached the parameter of 7.5, Li Zhan now believes in it. The thrust-to-weight ratio of the J-8 aircraft was originally better than that of the J-7, and now with a larger thrust engine, the thrust-to-weight ratio of the aircraft is even better.

The idea of developing a tactical reconnaissance aircraft on the basis of this Jian-8 is very correct, and it can give full play to the advantages of the beautiful men in the air at high altitude and high speed.

Three Wuzhi-9G helicopter gunships landed on the runway and were quickly towed away by a tractor. Zhu Wei on the tower took over the command from Lu Hang's side and gave Li Zhan an order to allow takeoff.

Li Zhan entered the take-off position, the flap take-off position opened the full throttle and released the brakes, and the No. 101 J-8FR roared and slid away, and the tail flame behind the nozzle in broad daylight was clearly visible. After running for more than 500 meters, Li Zhan's lever climbed diagonally upwards 45 degrees from the ground, and at the same time turned to the left. The maximum engine speed, the rate of climb approaching 200 meters per second, and the roar of the engine came in bursts.

The tower watched dumbfounded, as the No. 101 J-8FR left the ground in an extremely rough emergency take-off manner, and then turned and climbed with extremely exaggerated movements.

Regular pilots have seen a lot, but such a vigorous take-off method is rare. Even Zhu Wei was dumbfounded, he probably didn't realize that one of Li Zhan's many nicknames during his work in the Second Division was called Nanhai Mad Dog, and he probably didn't know that HNA simulated the Blue Army's electronic reconnaissance unit labeled Li Zhan.

The language of the flight is extremely rude, the flying style is extremely rough, and the flying skills are extremely high.

If you don't drive an afterburner, you can drive a big wave of flight attendants who are chirping in civil aviation.

Under the conditions of conditions, every flight as much as possible to form a challenge to the limit, so that we can continue to make progress, this is Li Zhan's consistent principle. This time he went to heaven again after many days, and the passion in his chest must have been fully burned until he was exhausted.

The weather at the end of October on the south side of the library is a little warmer than that on the north side, and the north side is basically two or three degrees during the day, and there is a temperature of seven or eight degrees at noon on the south library.

Li Zhan flew west after reaching an altitude of 6,000 meters, and he could not see the snow-capped mountains hundreds of kilometers away in the north, but the greenery around Lake Ulun in the south was clearly visible. Where there is plenty of water, there is always green, even in winter.

The South Reservoir Station is on the edge of the national environmental protection zone, which is much better than the North Reservoir Station on the edge of the Gobi Desert. In fact, the tactical intelligence center is more suitable for the south warehouse, and the environment here is far better than that of the north warehouse station. However, from a military point of view, the terrain and altitude of the South Reservoir are not as good as those of the North Reservoir. For the sake of the terrain advantage from a military point of view, it is worth spending more money.

Flying west is a vast basin, desert, Gobi, bare mountains, from east to west to fly nearly 700 kilometers to complete the crossing.

After Li Zhan and Nankutatai confirmed their location, they asked, "Nanku, I want to do a high-altitude and high-speed flight to see the airspace situation, over." ”

Zhu Wei said, "We don't have much time, it's over." ”

"I have to be sure to be sure, done." Li Zhan insisted.

After thinking about it for a while, Zhu Wei called his superiors and replied, "Forget about it, allow the test, keep the heading altitude, it's over." ”

Li Zhan knew that there was no civil aviation route in this airspace, because this airspace itself was the main training airspace of the Beikuchang Station, with an area of nearly 1,000 square kilometers, and it was the largest land and air training ground in the country. No matter how much he flies, he can't fly out of this range.

"I understand, it's over."
