Chapter 148: Special Test Pilot
The canteen of the test flight institute is a small four-story building.
The first floor is a canteen for military meals, such as aircraft maintenance, guards, support, tower staff, etc., both officers and soldiers eat here.
The second floor is a dining place for non-military personnel, including some technicians and outsiders.
The third floor is commonly known as the air service stove, a restaurant for test pilots to eat.
On the fourth floor, there is a hospitality restaurant, which is usually open to everyone in the test flight institute, but at their own expense.
Yang Luo took steps, and calmly went up to the third floor under the gaze of people coming and going.
The pilots' cafeteria on the third floor is also not small, but compared to the bustling scene of the two floors below, it seems a little deserted, only a dozen test pilots in training uniforms are immersed in eating, and then only the cooks who are chatting quietly behind the buffet table are left.
Yang Luo looked at it, walked straight to the buffet table, picked up the sterilized tableware placed aside, and began to choose food.
Yang Luo's sudden intrusion naturally attracted everyone's attention, after all, there were only a few test pilots in the test flight institute, and they were all familiar with each other, and now suddenly one more guy came to the pilot's restaurant for dinner, and they all felt surprised.
Most of them looked up, puzzled, but they didn't want to meddle with the food on their plates.
But there were two test pilots in their thirties, a colonel and a lieutenant colonel, who had been paying attention to Yang Luo since he stepped into the restaurant, and occasionally whispered a few words.
"Hey, Team Han, what do you say this kid is coming from?" The test pilot, with the rank of lieutenant colonel, asked as he pulled the food on the plate.
"What can be the reason, it may be the pilots of the troops who land and refuel here, and there is no possibility that there are non-pilots here to eat." Compared with the curious lieutenant colonel test pilot, the Han team with the rank of colonel seemed a little indifferent, and said casually.
"I think so, it shouldn't be a newly transferred test pilot, it's too young." The lieutenant colonel squinted his eyes, looked up at Yang Luo, who was picking up food in front of the buffet counter, and muttered.
"What did you say?" The Han team didn't hear what the lieutenant colonel said clearly, only vaguely heard the three words of the test pilot, suddenly remembered something, sighed in his heart, and asked.
"I said this kid was too young. What's wrong? The lieutenant colonel repeated the last sentence and asked strangely.
"It's not this one, it's the last one."
"The last sentence? I'm talking about the fact that it shouldn't be a newly transferred test pilot, what's wrong with this sentence? Questions? The lieutenant colonel looked at the Han team, his eyes full of doubts.
"There's a problem, there's a big problem." The Han team said with some excitement, "Chief Engineer Wang of Chengfei came to the courtyard again, as if he was going to re-conduct the test flight of the J-10C, but none of our test pilots got any task about the test flight of the J-10C." You say, is it possible that this kid is the test pilot of this J-10C test flight? ”
"It's impossible, he's so young, he may not have flown for a few days, how could Chief Master Wang choose him for a test flight." The lieutenant colonel shook his head, disagreeing with Team Han's words, and said, "Team Han, you think too much, there are so many special test pilots in the academy, no matter who is on it, they are better than him." ”
"It's not that I'm thinking too much, it's really possible. No, we have to hand him over and ask him. The Han team said, he was a little worried, if it came true, it would really be a big joke, the test pilots of the test flight institute could not be trusted, and they had to invite the pilots of the army to test the flight, where would their face be put on these test pilots.
"Okay, then when he finishes picking up the meal, I'll call him over." The lieutenant colonel happened to stuff a large piece of meat into his mouth and replied casually with some slurred words.
Not long after, Yang Luo had already taken a large plate full of food, as well as a full glass of milky milk, turned around and looked at the dining area, found an empty table with no one, and was about to walk over.
Seeing this scene, the lieutenant colonel stood up directly from his position, beckoned to Yang Luo, and motioned for Yang Luo to come over and sit here.
Yang Luo was stunned for a while when he noticed the lieutenant colonel's movements, I don't have any acquaintances here, I looked left and right, and confirmed that the other party's name was me, so he took a step and walked over, and sat down directly on the vacant seat opposite them.
"Brother, what do you call it? Where did you come from? As soon as Yang Luo sat down, Team Han couldn't wait to ask.
Yang Luo picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of chicken, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and replied, "Yang Luo, from the northeast." ”
"Northeast? 31st Division or 39th Division, or 28th Division? The Han team was full, put down the chopsticks, took a sip of milk, and continued to ask, his eyes swept over the chest mark on Yang Luo's right chest, and he was slightly relieved after finding that Yang Luo was only a third-level pilot, he believed that even if Chief Master Wang was dissatisfied with the test pilots of the test flight institute, it was impossible to find a third-level pilot to test the flight.
"31st Division." Yang Luo glanced at the lieutenant colonel opposite, wondering how he knew so much about the flying troops in the Northeast, so he didn't care about keeping it secret, and said after answering, "You invited me over, don't you report your home?" ”
Hearing Yang Luo's words, Team Han was stunned for a moment, looked Yang Luo who looked a little immature on the other side carefully, and said with a smile, "My name is Han Bo, a special test pilot of the Test Flight Academy." ”
Another lieutenant colonel also introduced himself: "My name is Wang Xin, a special test pilot. ”
Hearing the two introduce themselves, Yang Luo was shocked.
Special Test Pilot.
This is a very rare existence, and the two people in front of him are all special pilots.
Just like the level of pilots, first-class pilots can survive qualifications, but special pilots are not so easy, in addition to the need to accumulate safe flight time, it also includes tactical theory, personal skills and physical fitness and other assessments.
It also has to have the ability to have multiple meteorological conditions and multiple models.
The reason why Yang Luo is still a third-level pilot is because the flight time is not enough and cannot meet the standards of second-level pilots.
The same is true for test pilots, it is easy for first-class test pilots, but it is difficult for special-level test pilots, and test pilots are just missing a tactical theory assessment, and for them, they basically do not need to go to the battlefield.
Special test pilots, there are definitely a lot of test flight missions that have been performed, and I don't know how many times I have brushed shoulders with death.
For every test flight, the test pilot has to write a suicide note first and explain what happened after his death, because no one knows whether this test flight will be dangerous and whether he can come back.
Throughout the history of domestic aviation, in the past few decades, nearly 30 test pilots have died in test flights.
Some people may say that there are more pilots who have sacrificed their lives, but you must know that there are only a few test pilots, and the entire test flight institute is only a test pilot of one regiment, and it is not a large regiment like the 122nd regiment, and the test flight regiment has only two brigades.
If we think about the sacrifice of test pilots, we can imagine how dangerous the test pilots are, and it can be said that every time the test pilots take off to carry out a test flight mission, they go up with the determination to die.
