No. 007 J-10S rose from the ground, and the take-off action was no different from the last daytime takeoff. Take-off and landing is a great reflection of the pilot's comprehensive flight quality, but it seems that simple take-off and landing is usually the most difficult part of the whole flight process. Especially now, when the flight control system of civil aircraft is becoming more and more advanced, what the pilot actually needs to do is to take off and land, and leave everything else to the automatic flight system.

Fighter jets are not, although the J-10 has the most advanced flight control system among the active fighters of the Chinese Air Force so far, and due to the extremely obvious static instability design, except for high-altitude cruise, the rest of the state requires the pilot to work hard to control, so the pilot's energy is put forward to keep up with the high requirements, especially night flight.

The cockpit of the J-10S is not much different from that of the J-10B, and the cockpit of the early J-10 is very simple, full of the early Su-27SK cockpit that is, and several years have passed since the start of mass production, and the new cockpit technology has been put into use, so there is the cockpit full of modernity of the J-10 fighter that we see now.

The colored lights on the cockpit dashboard are anti-dazzling, and they are slightly reflected on Li Zhan's face. Visibility outside the cockpit is zero, but Li Zhan and Zhang Wei both wear low-light night vision devices, which can get some visibility, and the combination of night vision flight and instrument flight makes night flight an extra layer of protection. Instrument flight is a basic skill, and cockpit blind operation is one of the basic skills necessary for Air Force pilots. These Zhang Wei have a relatively solid foundation, although they have been transferred to ground staff for many years.

After passing through the first line of heaven, Zhang Wei smiled, "It doesn't feel as terrible as during the day, Lao Li, your skills have improved again." ”

Li Zhan in the front cabin stretched out his finger and said, "You can't see the mountains outside, so naturally you can't feel afraid." Studies have shown that driving in the dark at night is far safer than driving during the day, because the driver's attention is limited to the range of the headlights, and he or she can detect danger more quickly. ”

"The theory of the canoe bridge in the dark, I know. But I could feel that this time was smoother than the daytime time, as evidenced by the attitude of the fighters. Zhang Wei said.

Li Zhan said, "Of course, there must be one progress in flying once." As a matter of fact, I plan to make a suggestion to your division headquarters that the first-line sky route be used as the main take-off route, which will be very helpful to improve the overall flight level of the troops. ”

"Eighty percent of the division will not adopt it, we are a combat unit, not a flight demonstration team, there is no need to play these tricks." Zhang Wei said.

Li Zhan said, "What if the battlefield environment requires that ultra-low-altitude penetration must be carried out in mountainous areas such as the Central and Southern Mountains? Lao Zhangin, don't forget what the purpose of the second division invited me to come over for a temporary post. ”

"Test flight." Zhang Wei said, suddenly stunned, and said, "Oh yes, it's an instructor, an instructor of low-altitude penetration combat tactics." ”

Li Zhan pulled up the fighter and rolled sharply and then turned around, causing Zhang Wei in the rear cabin to complain: "You can't make a good U-turn and have to roll, I'm not a professional pilot who can't bear a few overloads." ”

"The average person can withstand three or five overloads, and you're fine." Li Zhan smiled and called the tower, "Tower, turn back from the cave, it's over." ”

Unexpectedly, Tang Guozheng in the tower said, "Cave and hole, more than 3,000 circles, following the emergency order of the superiors, there are two helicopters of the Army Airlines that are carrying out disaster relief missions and need to be diverted to the scene due to bad weather, you wait first, it's over." ”

"Cave turn and understand, three thousand circles, over."

Li Zhan quickly climbed to an altitude of 3,000 meters of standard air pressure and entered the circling course of the field, he couldn't help but look sideways down, and could vaguely see two sets of navigation lights flashing underneath, and the direction of movement was the Zhongnan Field Station. He hesitated, turned on the radar and enabled the lower vision search mode, and soon the two targets appeared at the bottom of the radar display, almost outside the downward search range.

"Lao Li, look at the north, it seems to be a big cumulonimbus cloud." Zhang Wei said suddenly.

Li Zhan hurriedly looked to the north, in the field of vision of the low-light night vision device, there was a large black thing in the north, and there was some faint light around it, and some stars could be seen when looking up. The working principle of the low-light night vision device is to magnify the faint natural light, which is a passive night vision device, in other words, if there is no light in the place you see, then the display is black.

To put it simply, a low-light night vision device is like a brightness adjuster for a display, but it doesn't have the function of maintaining the original pixels.

Suddenly, the cumulonimbus clouds in the north began to flash, and irregular lines flickered. Li Zhan's heart sank, and he said, "There is high-altitude lightning, and it is estimated that the air flow and crosswind are very strong, otherwise the helicopter of the army aviation will not be in a hurry to land." ”

"Let's land as soon as possible, look weird." Zhang Wei also noticed it and said.

Li Zhan said, "Don't worry, you won't be able to get to us for a while, the pilots of the army aviation still have a keen sense of smell, otherwise they will be lucky in such weather in the mountains." ”

The accident in the earthquake relief in 08 was different, and the army aviation knew that there were no flying conditions in that mountainous area, and the magnetic field was disordered and the airflow was complicated, but! If not, you have to go too! The people's army is the last line of defense, and it must be on top of it when there is no condition.

Not long after, two Mi-171 helicopters of the Army Aviation successfully made an alternate landing at the Zhongnan Station. After the runway was cleared, Li Zhan drove the No. 007 J-10S to land, and then they carried out non-stop inspections according to the plan to confirm that everything was normal in the fighter plane, and Li Zhan took off again for the second flight content.

The Zhongnan station was lively this night, and two Mi-171 helicopters were parked on the side of the tower, bringing life to this station, which had never had permanent fighters.

After Li Zhan flew to the second takeoff, he checked the plane again, and the fighter plane was in order, and he took off again to perform the last flight content - a normal route takeoff. After leaving the ground, the fighter plane quickly climbed and cut into the side of the tourist airport, just in time to turn over the airport. To be exact, in the case of take-off according to the normal route, the airspace of the formation is exactly over the tourist airport. Therefore, the status of Zhongnanchang Station is so embarrassing, and it is not realistic to let the tourist airport relocate.

I thought that the third flight content was the simplest and most relaxing, but when Li Zhan let go of his hands and feet, he violently maneuvered and soared the speed of sound to cross the last peak and enter the airspace of the tourist airport, but he was dumbfounded, and there was a large number of dense moving lights over the tourist airport!

"! That's Kong Ming lantern, Lao Li avoids it! Evade quickly! Zhang Wei, who has always been gentle and elegant, was shocked and said urgently.

Li Zhan quickly pulled the throttle lever back to slow down and put the flaps down, "It's too late, I have to fly over." ”

Dense Kong Ming lanterns float slowly in the night sky, especially poetic in the foggy night. Photographers attending the event were fascinated by the shutter number to shoot this beautiful scene, and each shot was accompanied by a prayer - I hope that the people who died due to the ice and snow disaster will go all the way, and that there will be no snow and ice in heaven!

It was a prayer event organized by civil society groups, where candles were lit and Kong Ming lanterns were placed to pray for the victims.

However, this almost killed Li Zhan and Zhang Wei!

The prayer event was held in the park square seven or eight kilometers north of the tourist airport, and the organizers checked the weather forecast, and the Kong Ming lantern would fly south and continue to climb and eventually explode and fall over the deep mountains.

However, no one expected the wind direction to change, and a large number of Kong Ming lanterns drifted along the wind direction to the airspace above the tourist airport, and the altitude happened to be the airspace where the No. 007 J-10S combat training aircraft entered. To be exact, thousands of Kong Ming lanterns cover multiple layers of airspace, and for a fighter in high speed in flight, each Kong Ming lantern is an anti-aircraft artillery shell.

Because the mountain peak to the south of the airport was obscured, Li Zhan, who was in the climbing stage, could not see the situation above the airport, and when he accelerated to climb over the mountain, the fighter plane had already rushed into the fire net woven by thousands of "anti-aircraft artillery shells", and he did not have any time to react at all.

Reducing the airspeed to gain more reaction time, Li Zhan began to play the game of block planes, constantly manipulating the lever to avoid the oncoming Kong Ming lantern, and the Kong Ming lantern almost brushed their cockpit canopy when it was thrilling. After the fighter roared, the powerful wake made the Kong Ming lantern fluttering leisurely and leisurely messy, wandering like crazy.

", that's too much, I'm going to dive down altitude." Li Zhan found that there were more and more Kong Ming lanterns in front of him, and he couldn't stay in this firepower network any longer, so he decisively pushed the rod and dived down to a low altitude where there was no threat, but in this way, the fighter plane would have to fly between the peaks.

Tang Guozheng in the tower asked loudly, "What is the situation?" ”

"Tower, there are a large number of Kong Ming lights covering the airspace layer over the tourist airport, I avoided it at a lower altitude, your radar may not be able to see me, and I have to return, the plane seems to have hit something, but everything is normal at the moment, it's over." Li Zhan quickly reported.

Zhang Wei didn't feel the slightest feeling, and he was dumbfounded after seeing the dense sky of Kong Ming lanterns. He could see clearly that the airspeed of the fighter plane had reached 1,000 kilometers per hour when he crossed the mountain, and it was about to break through the sound barrier if it was any worse. So his attention was all on Kong Ming's lantern, and he didn't notice that the fighter plane had some slight tremors just now.

"Go back immediately! Feel free to report the situation! Complete. Tang Guozheng quickly issued an order, turned his head and said to the staff officer beside him with a cold face, "Ask the tourist airport what's going on, they know that we are going to fly tonight, find out what the problem is, and notify the local public security organs to intervene!" ”

"Yes!" The staff officer went in a hurry.

The personnel on duty at the tower were all on fire in their hearts, because of the weather, they finally got the flight up, but as a result, your local airport made such a fuss, and if it caused a crash of the fighter plane, these soldiers were eager to eat the relevant personnel alive.

Tang Guozheng immediately called Qi Hong to report the incident, and he realized that there were serious deficiencies in the relevant coordination mechanism between the Zhongnan Station and the local government, and this problem must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise the resumption of normal use of the Zhongnan Station is an empty word.

This time I got away with it, what about the next time, what about the next time?

The division headquarters of the second division is stationed in Xixian Station and Nangang International Airport are very close to the city, especially the Nangang International Airport is directly on the edge of the city, and the nearest real estate is only more than 1,000 meters, but there has never been an aircraft invasion incident at these two airports, and the safety flight record in this regard is very beautiful. In the final analysis, the PLA and the relevant local departments in Nangang have a very mature and effective linkage and coordination mechanism, which has well ensured the clearance rate of the two airports. At the beginning, Li Zhan launched the balloon, which was a linkage and coordination mechanism, which fed back the information obtained by the local government in a timely manner and quickly formed a solution, and the hot air balloon was shot down without even having a chance to approach the airspace on the five sides of Nangang International Airport.

Tang Guozheng believes that the Central South Station urgently needs to establish such a set of linkage and coordination mechanisms with the local authorities to ensure the safety of flight training to the greatest extent.

PS: Not today, good night guys, see you tomorrow.
