The yellow sand is rolling, and the desert is blue.

After more than three hours of flying in the air, consuming the aviation fuel of the two auxiliary fuel tanks they carried, Yang Luo, Ye Jianlong, and Xue Fei finally arrived at the outer airspace of Dingxin Airport, where the Golden Helmet Free Air Battle was held.

Dingxin Airport is located in the desert hinterland north of Dingxin Town in Gan Province, is an important military airport of the Air Force, is one of the new special airports after the founding of the People's Republic of China, known as the largest airport in Asia, also known as the 51st district of China.

According to public information, Dingxin Airport was founded in the 60s of the last century, and has gone through more than 50 years of development.

Looking at the entire airport from the air, you can't see much difference from other military airports, and the only difference may be that it is big.

You can also see two runways more than 4,000 meters long, which is very inconsistent with its claim to be the largest airport in Asia, but its apron is extremely large, with four huge aprons, which can accommodate hundreds of fighters.

Then there are some ancillary facilities, such as canteens, office buildings, accommodation buildings, etc., which can be seen on the surface.

Yang Luo knows that this is just the tip of the iceberg of Dingxin Airport, the important facilities of Dingxin Airport are hidden underground, and Dingxin Airport is not as simple as an airport.

Take the hangar as an example, there is a excavated underground hangar under the ground, with a height of 6.3 meters, an area of more than 60,000 square meters, and 4 concrete anti-blast doors.

This excavated underground hangar is the product of combining the Western-style ground hangar with the former red national aircraft hangar in the north, which not only overcomes the problem that the ground hangar is easy to destroy, but also solves the problem that the hangar must be backed by a mountain.

The roads inside extend in all directions, and there are multiple machine holes to enter and exit the fighters, and maybe in a certain maneuver, a J-20 fighter will run out.

In addition to being an airport, Dingxin Airport has other functions.

It is also a weapons test site, a multi-functional trial training center integrating scientific research and training of the Air Force, and can also be connected to a satellite launch center 75 kilometers away, and a special highway connects the technology center and the launch site area, which can meet the transportation requirements of satellites from the airport to the technology center and the launch site area.

At the same time, it is also a training ground.

There is also a fake airport built in imitation of the Qingquangang Air Base near the airport, and the runway, tower and other facilities of the fake airport are exactly the same as the Qingquangang Airport in terms of size and configuration.

This fake airport is mainly used by the Air Force to test precision-guided attacks, submunitions, and cluster bomb attacks, and can also be used for simulated attack drills to test the accuracy of precision-guided missiles hitting the airport's taxiway and runway, and is used for simulation drills of the Taiwan Strait war.

In the air, the people overlooking Dingxin Airport were not only Yang Luo, Ye Jianlong, and Xue Fei, but also pilots from other units who came to participate in the Golden Helmet Free Air Battle.

At this time, in the air, more than a dozen fighters gathered in the circle waiting for the order to enter the field, in addition to the J-10C piloted by Yang Luo, there are also J-10A, J-11B, and even Yang Luo saw two Su-30MKK.

Moreover, there are more fighters coming one after another, joining in and waiting in the air.

After waiting for a while, the indicator light of the selection call system on the 301 J-10C dashboard lit up, and an unfamiliar voice sounded in the communication channel: "Call 301, 302, 311, this is the tower of Dingxin Airport, please answer when you receive it, over." ”

Press the indicator light to reset the operation, and the communication frequency is automatically switched to the confidential communication frequency of the Dingxin tower, Yang Luo responded: "301 received, please speak about the tower, over." ”

"302 received, please speak at the tower, over."

"311 received, please speak at the tower, over."

Ye Jianlong and Xue Fei's voices also appeared in the communication channel.

"The airport is busy, are you sure that you will land in formation with three planes on runway 2? Complete. In the communication channel, the commander of the tower of Dingxin Airport asked, his voice calm and powerful.

With so many fighter planes waiting to land in the sky, and a steady stream of fighters coming over, everyone on the tower felt the pressure, and worked hard to tap on the keyboard to calculate a suitable circling route to avoid a plane collision accident.

It's a huge test for them.

Because every year of the Golden Helmet Free Air Battle, it is the busiest time for Dingxin Airport.

After all, every year, there are many people who participate in the Golden Helmet Free Air Battle, and at least more than 150 fighters of various types from different units will land here on the same day.

"301 is no problem, over." Yang Luo replied, his eyes projected on the runway of Dingxin Airport.

Although Dingxin Airport has only two runways, its width is more than double that of a normal runway.

The normal runway can allow two-plane formation take-off and landing, not to mention that this ultra-wide runway is only a three-plane formation landing, even if it is a four-plane formation landing.

"302 is fine, over."

"311 is fine, over."

"The ground wind direction is 300, the wind speed is 7 meters per second, the gust is 9 meters second, there is no crosswind, the field pressure is 883, you can land, the wind speed is high, pay attention to safety, over." The commander said.

"Understood, we're in the field and ready to land, over."

After Ye Jianlong responded, he gave instructions: "I'm in front, 301 is behind me on the left, 311 is behind the left of 301, normal landing procedures." ”

"Understood."

Yang Luo glanced in the direction of Ye Jianlong, visually determined the relative position relationship, and then followed Ye Jianlong's left rear, flew through three turns according to the normal landing procedure, and lowered the landing gear.

After getting the hint that the landing gear was lowered normally, Yang Luo turned the rudder 90 degrees, lowered his head slightly, and aimed at the No. 2 runway to land.

Almost at the same time, three fighters landed together on the No. 2 runway of Dingxin Airport and taxied at high speed.

Brake, slow down.

With so many fighters still in the air waiting to land, there was no time for the aircraft to pick up the parachute, so none of the three used the parachute, but only relied on the braking system, flaps and speed brakes to reduce their speed.

"301, 302, 311, please leave the runway as soon as possible and take the No. 6 tow lane to the No. 1 tarmac, over."

"Understood, take the No. 6 tow lane to the No. 2 tarmac, over."

"You're disconnected from the tower now, over."

Yang Luo turned off the radio communication, and after the speed of the fighter plane was reduced to a controllable speed, he followed behind the 302 J-10C, and turned to the No. 6 traction lane.

There are two kinds of aprons at Dingxin Airport, one is the open-air apron, the other is the open apron with a roof, and the No. 1 apron is the apron with a roof, which can play a covering effect.

Under the command of Qiyu, Yang Luo manipulated the 301 J-10C to the No. 1 apron and stopped steadily at one of the parking stands marked 036.
