Chapter 77: The Beginning of the Extreme Challenge
As the saying goes, snow doesn't get cold.
The next day, the sky cleared, and the sun hung high with a smiling face for nine days, sprinkling thousands of rays of light, but there was no trace of the sun's warmth, and the temperature was lower than yesterday.
At half past nine in the morning, Yang Luo carried the TK-14A flight helmet to the hangar, and the No. 801 J-7G was dragged into the No. 8 hangar yesterday, and the maintenance team was filling his No. 801 J-7G with aviation fuel and making preparations for pre-takeoff inspections.
The lineup of this maintenance group is somewhat large, the deputy division commander who is in charge of the maintenance work, and a colonel officer personally serves as the team leader, and there are more than 10 maintenance personnel, all of whom are sergeant majors, the highest one is a second-class sergeant major, and the lowest rank is also a sergeant.
In order to ensure the successful completion of the task of the No. 801 J-7G, almost all the best aircraft maintenance at the Anxian station were mobilized.
Looking at this lineup, Yang Luo was speechless, is it too strong?
Yang Luo stood aside and watched the maintenance team keep busy.
Maintenance work is very serious work, and there is no room for sloppiness.
After the fuel is filled, the fuel pipeline is withdrawn, and the inspection is over, and then a maintenance officer pulls over a power cord and prepares to start the engine.
After the engine starts, there is a series of checks, what static stability, power-up, engine status, inertial navigation system calibration, etc.
After some inspection, it took more than half an hour, and the clock was already pointing to ten o'clock.
After the preparations were completed before takeoff, the maintenance team retreated to the safe area and stood in line, and the deputy division commander of the temporary maintenance team took the handover folder and saluted Yang Luo and reported: "Comrade pilot, the plane is ready, please accept it." ”
No matter how high the level of the maintenance team leader is and how low the level of the pilot, when the handover procedure is carried out, the maintenance team leader salutes first and reports to the pilot.
Yang Luo returned the salute, took the folder, walked to the side of the plane, circled the fuselage, and carefully checked it.
The landing gear is normal,
Aviation tires are in good condition,
Good braking system,
The fuselage and wing skin, surfaces and livery are normal,
The tail nozzle of the engine is normal,
……
Soon after the inspection, Yang Luo signed the folder, handed it back to Deputy Division Commander He, and said, "Deputy Division Commander He, thank you for your hard work." ”
"It should." Deputy Chief He smiled faintly and said, "Yang Luo, there is something I have to remind you, the engine life of your aircraft is already very short, try to drive as little afterburner as possible." ”
"I know, the crew told me." Yang Luo replied that he knew the condition of the engine.
After following Ma Haijun to learn the knowledge of aircraft maintenance for so long, Yang Luo can be regarded as half a machine maintenance expert, since the last time Gou Quan told him about the life of the engine, every time he flies, he will focus on checking the condition of the engine.
"Okay, you go, stay safe, and return triumphantly." Deputy Division Commander He looked at Yang Luo and said solemnly.
"Yes."
Yang Luo turned around and boarded the plane.
According to the standard procedure, the various systems of the fighter were checked, and after confirming that they were correct, Yang Luo connected to the communication channel of the tower and called: "Call the tower, 801 request slides out, over." ”
Today's tower commander is the division's political commissar Lang Shengquan, and the deputy commander is the division's chief of staff, and the rank is quite high. In normal times, the command of the tower at the Anxian station is the regimental leader of the 123rd Regiment, and the division leader will directly command unless there is a heavy flight plan.
"801, you can slide out, wait on runway three, over." Lang Shengquan gave the order to slide out.
When Yang Luo slid out of the hangar and headed for runway No. 3, a J-10S was taking off from runway No. 1, numbered 049, and there were two people sitting in the cockpit, of which the division commander Song Yongqi was sitting in the rear cabin.
J-10S, the two-seat version of the J-10, is also the J-10 training aircraft during modification training, its avionics, aero engine, cockpit layout, etc. are generally the same as the basic version of the J-10A, and the performance is not very different, and it can also be a fighter jet if necessary.
This J-10S will cross the Qingluan Mountains with the 801 J-7G, but he will fly with the No. 801 fighter and will not enter the valley.
A photoelectric pod is attached to the belly hardpoint of the J-10S, and the infrared camera, TV camera and other optoelectronic equipment inside will record the entire flight process of the 801 J-7G for future learning and training.
"Call the tower, 801 requests to take off, over." Slid into the runway and braked to a stop, and Yang Luo called the tower again.
"The tower received, 801, wind direction 245, wind speed 2 meters second, field pressure 1002, can take off, over." After receiving the call, Lang Shengquan immediately ordered.
"801 received, ready to take off, over."
"801, I wish you a successful completion of the mission and a safe return." Lang Shengquan blessed, "I'm waiting at the tower to celebrate your achievements." ”
"Commissar, please rest assured, you will be sure to complete the task."
Yang Luo pushed the throttle valve to the end, released the brake, the engine at idle roared violently, the pointer on the engine tachometer on the dashboard turned rapidly, and the speed of the J-7G under the empty load became more and more open, accelerating and taxiing on the runway.
The lever raised its head, the front and rear landing gear left the ground in turn, and the 801 J-7G roared into the air and continued to climb in height.
Yang Luo first had to cross the Qingluan Mountains from an altitude of 10,000 meters and enter the prairie of the neighboring province, and then he would lower his altitude and enter the valley at the same place as last time, which was the real beginning of the mission.
"It's coming, it's coming."
As soon as Yang Luo entered the neighboring province, the air defense area belonging to the 25th Division was discovered.
The radar station on the top of the hill on the right side was crowded with people last time Yang Luo broke through the defense, and since Song Yongqi informed the 25th Division of the route and flight plan yesterday, the commander of the 25th Division rushed to the radar station with a group of pilots who had no flight mission.
Although the preparation of the 25th Division is worse than that of the 31st Division, and it is still flying the J-7E, no one can stop others from moving forward.
"Learn everything and keep your eyes open to see how people fly." The commander of the 25th Division said to the pilot.
The Qingluan Mountains straddle two provinces, with half of the air defense zone in the 31st Division and half in the 25th Division. The 25th Division also organized penetration training, but they could not even break the record of the 31st Division.
I don't know if it's the equipment, or the pilot.
Yang Luo began to descend in height, preparing to enter the valley.
The snow on this side of the mountain range is not serious, only a few are hanging on the trees, and the ones that fall on the ground have long melted into water, and it is not like the side in the direction of Anxian, where the mountains are all white.
Ice and snow weather is not a good time to break through at low altitudes, the mountains are full of snow, a piece of white, it is easy to make visual errors, and then misjudge, and eventually cause irreversible consequences.
Seeing that there was no large-scale snow on the side in front of him, Yang Luo breathed a sigh of relief, at least the difficulty at the beginning had weakened. If the entire mountain range is covered with snow, it is undoubtedly the most difficult.
"Commander, I'm ready to go in." It is connected to the same channel as the J-10S, Yang Luo said.
"801, pay attention to safety, if you are not sure, leave immediately, don't take risks." Song Yongqi advised.
"Understood."
Looking up at the J-10S hovering in the air at a height of thousands of meters, he took a deep breath, stared at the valley in front of him with his eyes, and without any hesitation, Yang Luo drove the plane into the valley.
The altitude is one hundred meters, and the airspeed is five hundred kilometers per hour.
