Are you confident that you will land tomorrow? ”

After Dai Minmeng returned and the VHF frequency switched to land control, Captain Zhang secretly asked in Chen Ming's ear.

"Of course there is confidence. You can also rest assured that the process of touching the ship and landing the ship is actually similar, except that there is no blocking cable, and the plane does not put the ship hook. With today's rehearsal, I might be able to do it again tomorrow. ”

Chen Ming said as he walked out with Captain Zhang and Political Commissar Mei.

"Since you, the flying boss, have said so, then I'll go to the cooking row now to inform you to add food tomorrow. Don't get slapped in the face, you kid. ”

Hearing Chen Ming's affirmative tone, Political Commissar Mei couldn't help but quip. Then several people separated, and Chen Ming was now going to the deck to watch the little green people finish laying the blocking cable. In this way, tomorrow morning, after only inspection, we will be able to welcome the arrival of the first carrier-based aircraft on board.

By the time the four blocking cables are laid, it's not too early. After eating a little bit in the restaurant to cushion his stomach, Chen Ming had to fall asleep early.

Early the next morning, Chen Ming came to the control room early to make preparations. Captain Zhang, Political Commissar Mei, and even the officers and men of the whole ship did not sleep well last night. After all, it is the day of the first carrier-based aircraft landing, and people always have a special obsession with the first time.

"The Flying Shark has taken off at an altitude of 6000 and a course of 160. The estimated arrival time in the training airspace is 15 minutes. After 3 minutes, command was handed over. ”

"Ship means received. Command, received in three minutes. ”

When the aircraft carrier actually entered the training area this time, the whole process was much grander. During the flight of the Dai Democratic League, the land control was carried out and the handover was carried out.

Chen Ming believes that the people who are waiting for the news of the ship's success today are far more than just these people on his own ship. It is an exaggeration to say that the people of the whole country are now eagerly awaiting this news.

"Chen Ming, what are the weather conditions today? I see the weather is nice outside. ”

Just as Chen Ming was staring at the pilotage radar, about to wait to take over the command of the flying shark, Captain Zhang suddenly pushed the door in. Chen Ming looked at him and suddenly smiled.

"Originally, the date was set today because the weather conditions were good today. Captain, nervous? ”

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Can I not be nervous? I don't know how to fly like you do, but I know what it means to succeed in a ship. Although the successful landing does not mean that we have formed combat effectiveness, this is the first step that must be taken. ”

After Captain Zhang heard Chen Ming's words, he said angrily. After a pause, he added.

"You kid, be serious."

"Yes, mission guaranteed!"

Looking at Chen Ming's fake appearance and shouting slogans, Captain Zhang was suddenly angry and funny. Fortunately, Chen Ming's state never went wrong when he entered the work, otherwise he would have wondered if it was a mistake for him to hand over this burden to him in the first place.

"Flying shark, gradually descending to altitude 1000 in 10 minutes, keep course. Visual! ”

After the handover with the control was completed, Chen Ming said in VHF.

"Flying shark received, drop altitude 1000, keep course. Visual! ”

"Deck, final inspection of the ship."

Hearing the recitation of the flying shark, Chen Ming said to the viewer in the control room.

"Yes! Deck Landing Inspection! ”

After completing this step, Chen Ming seemed bored again. However, this situation was also expected by Chen Ming.

There is only one carrier-based aircraft that he needs to be responsible for now, and the civil aviation routes in the airspace of military training will be avoided. There are no busy routes, no large number of aircraft in command. Suddenly it felt like the job was salty.

However, this is all temporary, and the carrier-based aircraft will be loaded. On the ship, in the sky, taxiing or preparing to take off, as well as all kinds of messy situations in maintenance, Chen Ming will definitely be busy like a dog when the time comes.

"Go down to 500 altitude, approach on your own, and enter the landing route to report."

After resting for a while, Chen Ming opened his mouth after hearing the visual flight deck report of the Dai Democratic League in the VHF.

"Flight deck, landing control!"

"Yes! Deck landing control! ”

Chen Ming listened to the recitation of the observer, and at the same time put the meteorological data he got from the meteorological room in the morning in his hand, waiting for the report of the Dai Democratic League.

"The Flying Shark has entered the ship's course."

"You can put a tail hook. The flight track is ready! ”

After Chen Ming heard Dai Minmeng's voice sounding in the VHF, he immediately replied.

"Our ship is currently at a speed of 13 knots, with a northwest wind of level 2, and can land. Pay attention to the lowering light signals and the guide's instructions. ”

After finishing speaking, Rao is Chen Ming knew that there was a high probability that the landing would be successful this time, but he couldn't help but squeeze to the porthole with Captain Zhang, intending to witness this moment with his own eyes.

Standing by the porthole, Chen Ming looked at the flight deck, the officers and soldiers who were looking forward to the safety distance on both sides of the flight track, and even a few people who were suspected of being reporters who were carrying cameras and didn't know where they came from. Looking at the sky not far away, the war eagle that was descending rapidly, its hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Everything seems to be a reenactment of yesterday's training to touch the ship and return to flight. The warhawk smashed on the landing area with precision, unlike yesterday. The lowered tail hook hooked the second blocking cable this time.

At the same time as the speed of the plane plummeted, Chen Ming saw that the fighter plane, which had rebounded slightly backwards for a distance under the load of the arresting cable, stopped steadily on the deck.

"Deck control is over!"

Hearing the enthusiastic cheers, Chen Ming's fist clenched loose. A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

As the Guantong officer gave Chen Ming's order, Chen Ming saw the picture of people rushing up and surrounding the yellow-painted war eagle.

However, these honors are also deserved by the Dai Democratic League for many years. From the ignorant cadet back then, to the flight squadron leader who landed for the first time today. Dai Minmeng, who is only 30 years old this year, has also spent nearly half of his life on sea-based aviation.

"It's almost time for you to fly in the afternoon, can you still do it?"

Dai Minmeng and Chen Ming, as the only two people in the aircraft carrier unit who have experience in landing on aircraft carriers, naturally fell on their heads for the first two experimental training on ships.

Dai Minmeng has been immersed in flight for a longer time than Chen Ming, and his flight skills are also higher. In addition, the aircraft carrier when Mao Xiong was learning ship technology was similar to the current aircraft carrier, so the task of landing the ship for the first time fell on his head, so this second time, it was naturally Chen Ming's turn.

"How can a man say no? I'm actually more worried about taking off than when I land on a ship. All I practiced was catapult takeoff, this kind of gliding take-off, and to be honest, it felt like I was going to kill myself by hitting a wall in a plane. ”

Chen Ming thought that when he changed to fly the J-15 on land, he looked at the 14-degree glide deck in front of him on the runway site that simulated the glide take-off, and he really didn't scare anyone.

The take-off process is really like knowing that there is a wall in front of you, and you have to rush up and hit it with maximum afterburner.
