Chapter 30: Sergeant Major 1st Class
When Yang Luo came to the No. 1 hangar, Gou Quan, the squadron leader of the No. 1 squadron, was sweeping around No. 801 with an instrument.
"Yo, the little prince is here." Gou Quan glanced back at Yang Luo, said with a smile, and then continued to work. He had been informed by the head of the regiment that Yang Luo was coming to learn mechanics, so he was not surprised.
Yang Luo watched Gou Quan busy with interest, and didn't care about Gou Quan's ridicule, and asked, "Captain Gou, what instrument are you holding in your hand?" “
"Metal flaw detectors." Gou Quan said, "The plane that you flew over the little prince has to be carefully inspected, and you don't dare to be careless." “
Yang Luo touched his nose, speechless, as if he was a loser.
"I said Yang Luo, can you take it easy in the future, let's reduce our workload?" Gou Quan stopped what he was doing, looked at Yang Luo and asked.
"Captain Gou, I don't agree with what you say, I flew according to the operating procedures, and there was no chaos." Yang Luo was a little unhappy.
If the deputy head in charge of aircraft maintenance said this, Yang Luo could only carry it, but Gou Quan would be suspected of overstepping his authority when he said this.
As soon as Gou Quan saw Yang Luo's expression, he knew that Yang Luo wanted to be crooked, patted the 801 fighter, and asked, "Do you know how much life your aircraft engine still has?" “
"I don't know." Yang Luo shook his head, he was not a mechanic, how could he know.
"In the past 20 days, the service life of the engine has been sharply reduced, and if you fly like you are now, you will need to replace the engine at most until the end of the year. If you fly an afterburner maneuver like the 845 in the middle of the flight, it is not known whether it will be able to hold out until the end of the year. "Every time you get off the plane, we have to check it carefully, especially the engine. “
"Is that an exaggeration?" Yang Luo said embarrassedly, knowing that he had misunderstood Gou Quan.
Yang Luo knew that although there was a backup aircraft in the regiment, it was not the J-7G, but the older version, the J-7E. If the aircraft is overhauled, it will only be able to fly the J-7E or transfer backup aircraft from the 121st and 123rd regiments, but they still have a small number of J-7G backup aircraft.
"It's not an exaggeration at all, think about it yourself, how many times did you go up and you didn't drive afterburner? Afterburner damages the engine the most, and you don't know it. Gou Quan said, bent down and continued to use the metal flaw detector to detect and inspect the fuselage to see if there were any metal dark wounds.
Yang Luo didn't want to continue this topic, was it too embarrassing, so he asked instead: "Captain Gou, am I learning aircraft maintenance directly from you?" “
"Do you really want to learn?" Gou Quan raised his head, looked at Yang Luo's serious expression, and asked with a serious face.
"Really." Yang Luo nodded.
"The maintenance is very strict, and you can't be sloppy." Gou Quan continued to say solemnly.
"Aviation-related industries are strict and do not allow sloppiness." Yang Luo shrugged his shoulders and said solemnly, "Isn't it?"
Gou Quan was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Okay, when I finish this work, I will take you to find a good master." Let's talk about it first, whether he teaches you or not, it depends on your own ability. “
This time it was Yang Luo's turn to be stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he asked, "Captain Gou, didn't you teach me?" “
Gou Quan said: "I don't have time to teach you, there are a lot of things waiting for me to deal with." But I won't cheat you, the master I found you is much more skilled than me. “
"Who? Is there anyone better than you? Yang Luo patted his ass flatteringly.
"You can rest assured, you will know when you see him. I can assure you that the first time you see him, you will believe that his skills are better than mine. After Gou Quan finished speaking, he bent down under the belly of the plane and continued to probe for metal injuries.
By the time Gou Quan probed the entire fuselage for metal damages, more than twenty minutes had passed.
After turning off the metal flaw detector and calling a maintenance officer to explain a few words, Gou Quan said, "Let's go, take you to the master." “
"Okay." Yang Luo answered and hurriedly followed.
got into the commuter car parked outside the hangar, Yang Luo was the co-pilot, and Gou Quan drove in the driver's seat. Gou Quan is a mechanic and is qualified to drive a car.
Yang Luo glanced at Gou Quan with envy.
According to the unwritten rules of the aviation forces, pilots are prohibited from driving, including but not limited to cars, motorcycles, electric vehicles, etc.
This is for safety reasons, and it is very difficult for the army to train a pilot, and it cannot be compromised in a traffic accident.
Another reason is the problem of driving habits, the driving of an airplane is completely different from that of a car, and pilots are prone to subconsciously drive a car in accordance with the driving habits of an airplane; As well as the speed of the vehicle is too slow, the pilot is particularly prone to speeding.
Gou Quan's driving skills are quite good, and the commuter car has been smooth all the way until it reaches the door of the repair shop.
The aircraft repair plant of the 122nd regiment, Yang Luo really hasn't been here, and there are basically very few pilots who come to this place.
There is only one kind of pilot who will come to this aircraft repair shop, and that is if his aircraft needs to be overhauled, and come and inquire about the progress of the repair. Generally, minor problems are solved in the hangar and will not be dragged to the repair shop.
For example, now, there are two planes parked in the repair shop, one is Ye Jianlong's No. 802, and the other is No. 845, which needs to change the engine, and the culprit is Yang Luo.
"Old horse." As soon as Gou Quan got out of the car, he shouted loudly.
"Here." Inside the repair shop, on the side where 802 could not be seen, a man turned out, still holding maintenance tools in his hand.
This is a veteran, who looks to be almost fifty years old, and his work clothes and white protective gloves are stained with black oil.
Yang Luo was convinced at first glance that what Gou Quan said was right, and this veteran's skills were really higher than Gou Quan's.
Because of the rank worn by this veteran.
Four turns, three thick and one thin.
Yang Luo was deeply shocked by the rank worn by this veteran.
This is a sergeant major of the first class, comparable to the presence of a giant panda in the army.
If you want to become a non-commissioned officer, it is not very difficult, but if you want to go all the way until you wear the rank of sergeant major of the first class, it is more difficult than wearing the rank of general.
First Class Sergeant Major, who is very rare in the army, everyone has served for at least 27 years, and it can be said that he is the ancestor of soldiers.
This is the real king of soldiers - generals without the rank of general.
When the general saw it, he would salute first, hold each other's hands with both hands, and cordially call out the old squad leader.
The treatment of the family is at the level of a full teacher, and the family arranges work and allocates a house, but after all, he is still a soldier, so he is not equipped with a car.
As far as Yang Luo's treatment is concerned, there is a difference of several levels, and the difference is very far. Even if the tie-rod fee is added, under normal circumstances, the salary is not necessarily high, let alone other treatments.
Yang Luo never thought that there would be a king of soldiers and a first-class sergeant major hidden in the maintenance brigade of the 122nd regiment. didn't expect that Gou Quan would introduce him to himself as a master.
Yang Luo has been in the regiment for almost a month, and he doesn't dare to say that he knows all the people, but he has basically met, and among all the non-commissioned officers, the highest rank is only a third-class sergeant major, and he is also the maintenance officer of the maintenance team.
But where did this soldier ancestor come from, and it seems that he is still a member of the No. 1 Aircraft Maintenance Squadron, and he has never seen him
