When I came to the combat readiness duty room, there were already four people waiting, two of them were on today's shift, and the other two were pilots who were on an overnight shift last night.

The combat readiness duty room is inseparable from people 24 hours a day, and the air situation may sound at any time, even in the early hours of the morning.

Generally speaking, air conditions only occur during the day, and rarely appear at night, let alone in the early hours of the morning.

However, things are just in case.

What if the air situation really came in the early hours of the morning, and no one was on combat readiness duty, did you temporarily go to the pilot's apartment to call someone?

By the time the pilot got out of bed, got dressed, rushed to the combat readiness duty room to change his clothes, and then went to the plane, how long had passed?

The daylilies should be cold!

If the real war came suddenly, he might not be able to wait for heaven, and he went to the underworld to report directly in his sleep.

Therefore, combat readiness duty is a matter of 24 hours a day.

It's just that pilots on overnight duty can be divided into shifts, one to rest and one to stay awake. But it's also more comfortable than don't think about it, and the flight gear is definitely not as comfortable as a warm quilt when you wear it on your body to rest.

The overnight duty of the 122 regiment was arranged only for two, not four.

After changing into flight equipment in the locker room next to the combat readiness duty room, and having a brief handover with the pilot who was on duty all night last night, Yang Luo officially started his first combat readiness duty.

Today, Yang Luo and Ye Jianlong are on the deputy class, and the main class is two people from the three teams.

Not far from the combat readiness duty room, a piece of land was planned as a helipad for the fighters on duty.

At this time, the ground crew also began to be busy, driving a tractor to tow away the two fighters from last night and replace them with the four fighters on duty today, including Yang Luo's No. 801 J-7G and Ye Jianlong's No. 802 J-7G.

All four fighters have been inspected by the aircraft maintenance to confirm that there are no problems and are ready to take off at any time.

Today's fighters are obviously different, when Yang Luo was training in the past, the fighters were not additionally attached to weapons, and the only weapon that could be used was a 30-1 type 30mm gun, and the ammunition was only 60 rounds.

The current 801 has a missile under each wing and a rocket launcher under the belly.

Combat-ready fighters on duty must be equipped with weapons.

After the fighters were parked, immediately after the power supply truck drove over, the auxiliary fighters drove up, and the aero engines of the four fighters were started in turn.

The fuel pipes connected from the underground oil pipelines are directly connected to the fuselage, continuously replenishing the fighters with high-performance aviation fuel.

As soon as the air situation appears, as soon as the order arrives, these auxiliary equipment will be removed immediately, and the pilot can taxi out and take off at any time.

Fighters on combat readiness duty will not consider the issue of savings, but only the issue of efficiency, and it is not a pity to burn more aviation fuel, and it is necessary to ensure that the fighters on duty are always in operation and shorten the take-off time as much as possible.

Fighters, fleeting.

Speaking of which, Yang Luo has only flown twice with weapons mounted on the plane, and when he was still at the base, he hit an empty target once and a ground target once.

Combat readiness duty is a very boring and painful thing, and you can't leave the combat readiness duty room, you can only chat, or read books to pass the time.

Half an hour later, pilots came to the combat readiness duty room one after another to change their outfits, and they all had training tasks and were about to fly into the sky.

Watching them go in and out, looking at himself, Yang Luo's eyes were full of envy:

What a wonderful thing it is to have a flight mission.

Yang Luo temporarily forgot that before today, he could fly three times a day, and he flew for more than 20 days in a row.

Finally, at about ten o'clock, the air situation siren sounded rapidly over the station.

The alarm lights in the combat readiness duty room were also flashing red, and the two pilots on duty rushed out of the combat readiness duty room by picking up the flight helmets that had been put aside.

At that time, the moment the alarm sounded, Yang Luo was still a little excited, but immediately thought that he was the deputy class, and it was not his turn, so he wilted in an instant.

For the deputy shift pilots on combat readiness duty, it is only the turn of more than two air situations that they can get their turn.

Yang Luo stood up and moved his body, and said, "It's so boring, when will it be our turn to go up?" ”

"What? Can't stay here so soon? Ye Jianlong raised his head and said, taking his eyes off the book.

"Team Ye, you said that we should discuss with the two of them, next time we have time to change us, can it work?" Yang Luo asked.

"Ask yourself, if it were you, would you agree?" Ye Jianlong did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

Hearing Ye Jianlong's question, Yang Luo was very disappointed, because if it was his own words, he didn't have to think about it, he would definitely refuse.

Seeing that Yang Luo didn't answer, Ye Jianlong continued: "For the regiment on combat readiness duty, there are empty situations from time to time, and the pressure is very high. But the pressure on the pilots is that the duty is too frequent, and the combat readiness duty is too boring. Therefore, pilots on combat readiness duty hope to have more air conditions when they are on duty, not only is it not boring to go up, but there is also money to take, killing two birds with one stone. “

Yang Luo knew that the money Ye Jianlong was referring to the subsidy for flying hours, and the pilot was generally called the rod fee. Just because as soon as you pull the airplane control stick, you start to have money.

Yang Luo changed the topic and asked, "Team Ye, how much is the rod fee for the J-7G?" “

"Three hundred." Ye Jianlong raised three fingers and said with a smile: Why, so soon to worry about the rod fee? ”

"Nope." Yang Luo denied, "I just want to understand, isn't the end of the month approaching?" Wages are coming soon, so let's find out how to calculate them. ”

"Your salary will be very high this month, but by next month, your salary will be sharply reduced, so be prepared and don't be emotional." Ye Jianlong reminded.

Yang Luo nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Yang Luo knew in his heart that this month's salary would indeed be very high, and it might exceed any person in the 122nd regiment, and most of it would be on the trolley fee.

A pilot's salary is made up of a basic salary, a pilot's level allowance, a flight hour allowance, and various other benefits.

The basic salary is based on the administrative level, just like Yang Luo is a lieutenant at the company level, and the basic salary he receives is the same as that of officers at the company level in other units, and the basic salary at the cadre level in the whole country is basically the same, regardless of military branch.

If there is an officer with a specific position, there will be an additional duty allowance, which is the case with Ye Jianlong, whose position is the captain of the brigade, which is equivalent to the battalion commander.

The sum of various projects, plus the pull rod fee of 300 per hour, Yang Luo estimated that this month's salary must be tens of thousands.

But next month, the flight time has been reduced a lot, and the trolley fee has been reduced a lot, and it is still a question whether the salary in hand can exceed 10,000 yuan.

The monthly salary is about 10,000 yuan, which is the salary level of the vast majority of pilots in the army.

Suddenly, from tens of thousands of monthly income to less than 10,000, people with poor mental quality will indeed not be able to accept it, and may choose to retire to civil aviation.

Compared with the income of civil aviation pilots, the income of military pilots is really too low, and the annual income of civil aviation pilots is often hundreds of thousands to more than one million.

As for the amount of salary, Yang Luo doesn't look particularly seriously, the family's living standard is still passable, less than the top, but definitely more than the bottom.

Yang Luo's character is either not to fight, or to fight for the first.

This is also the reason why Yang Luo wanted to take the aviation university in the first place, because aviation university is the best among all flight colleges.

And the hard work in the back is also the reason for the character, after arriving at the Haicheng training base, after experiencing the beauty of flying, another reason was added.

He fell in love with flying!
