Qin Feng communicated with Mustafa while translating for everyone, sometimes, even if there is a language barrier, as long as it is such a comparison, others will know.

"yes, that's great." Qin Feng said: "Colonel Mustafa, you are still flying the MiG-23, right?" If you fly our new J-7, you will have a different harvest. ”

The expression on Mustafa's face was dulled for a moment, and he said: "I can't fly the MiG-23 anymore, our MiG-23 fleet has been grounded completely." ”

Why Mustafa here? On the one hand, it's because he has a lot of flying experience, and on the other hand, because he doesn't have a plane anymore!

Spare parts for the MiG-23 have run out, the USSR is no longer exporting, and the Egyptian Air Force has decided to sell all the MiG-23s and has withdrawn from active service.

He is going back to fly the MiG-21 again, what is the difference between the MiG-21 produced in China? Hearing Qin Feng say this, Mustafa also became interested.

Mustafa's companions, who were upstairs, noticed that he had not returned, and came down with him, and they all came down, and the people sat together and talked very lively.

Factory 132 found that several people had not returned for a long time, and Tu Lao sent people to look for them, so that their dinner was over, and at the same time, after hearing about Colonel Mustafa and his party, they all took them directly to the guest house of Factory 132.

The next day, the tour officially began.

The MiG-21MF is still a secret, so it was not shown to these Egyptian friends, and now they are here to see the J-7.

"On our production line, we are still producing J-7 I fighters." While everyone walked, Tu Lao introduced it.

Since the 112 factory in Shenyang has been wholeheartedly engaged in the J-8, the 132 factory has been mainly responsible for the production of the J-7, and now in the assembly workshop, there are still a number of early J-7 I in production.

This is the original model, and its biggest feature is the hinged front canopy that flips forward, which is attached to the driver's seat. The original intention was to shield and protect the driver during ejection.

However, due to the complexity of this linkage system, 15 locks need to complete 17 actions according to the program within 1.5 seconds, coupled with the rough processing quality, so the ejection of this life-saving system is prone to failure and casualties.

Now, looking at this kind of plane, Mustafa frowned: "We can't have this kind of living coffin. ”

The Mikoyan Design Bureau also realized the unreliability of this ejection system, so in the later stages, all modifications were made, and Mustafa, as an experienced pilot, of course, knew that such a device was unreliable.

"These are the last batches, and our factory is about to produce the latest models." Tu Lao immediately introduced to the Egyptian guests: "We have modified the ejection system, please take a look at our modified J-7."

Coming to the factory to inspect is to let them see the production of their own factory, which is also a usual inspection activity, and now they don't like the J-7 I, so please ask them to go to see the J-7 II immediately.

Tu Lao said, leading everyone through the assembly plant, behind which is the runway of the airport, on the apron on the side, two J-7 IIs for test flights are staying there.

"It's not bad." When Mustafa saw the fighter, just as Qin Feng saw it at the beginning, he ran over quickly, followed the ladder, and climbed into the cockpit.

"The biggest improvement of this aircraft is this ejection mechanism, its success rate is much higher than the previous one, and now, it has just completed various test flight projects, and it will be finalized immediately." Seeing Mustafa climb up, Qin Feng also climbed up from behind, watched Mustafa step into the cockpit, sat down and fiddled with the operating lever, he stood on the gangway on the side and said.

The biggest feature of the Soviet fighter is its inheritance, after flying the MiG-17, then the MiG-19, the cockpit has hardly changed, after the flight of the MiG-19, and then the MiG-21, the cockpit is still exactly the same.

The current J-7 is completely copied from the MiG-21, and the layout of the instruments is exactly the same.

"Can I take a test flight today?" Mustafa said.

Tu Lao nodded: "Of course you can." ”

"Can you fly with Qin like last time?" Mustafa continued to ask.

Last time it was a routine cruise, Mustafa and Qin Feng flew together to drive away the Israeli fighters, Mustafa was very excited at that time, this time, I can't wait to continue to fly side by side with Qin Feng.

However, Qin Feng frowned and asked you to test fly, that is to let you feel the flight quality of our J-7 II fighter, waiting for you to place an order to buy the aircraft.

What does it mean that I fly? Going up for a walk with you? Did you know? If you go up and down again, at least a thousand yuan will be gone, enough for us to eat several meals in Rong Paradise.

Sure enough, Tu Lao below also frowned, almost gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, the two will fly together." ”

Since the guests have a request, then they will be generous, the last time Qin Feng went to someone's place, didn't he also fly over someone's MiG-21MF? A report was written at that time.

"Let's go, I'll take you to change into a flight suit." Qin Feng said.

If the two of them can fly together, of course it's good.

Soon, dressed properly, Mustafa wore the leather flight cap, and couldn't help but say: "It's better than this hat, it's much more convenient than a helmet." ”

"With it on, we should not fly at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters." Qin Feng said: "This time, you are still the long plane?" ”

"No, I'll be the wingman." "I'm not familiar with the airspace here," Mustafa said. ”

"Okay. Radio codename, I'm 006, you're 007." Qin Feng said: "Let's contact in English. ”

The two stepped into the cockpit, and when Qin Feng's hand touched the operating lever, that familiar feeling returned, and it seemed to be back to the experience of the last time I went to Egypt.

Both planes have been towed to the end of the runway, with the help of power carts, the engines rumble, and everything is normal with the instruments in front of them.

"007, I'm 006, I'll take off first, you follow me." Qin Feng replied on the radio.

"007 call, let's take off in formation together."

Hearing Mustafa's words, Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and the formation took off?

There is a sequence of take-offs, Qin Feng originally planned to pull up by himself first, leave the runway by himself, and Mustafa should fly, but now, Mustafa wants to fly with him.

Formation take-off, that is, two planes take off at the same time, although it is almost a minute, but in wartime, this minute can decide life and death.

Being able to take off two fighters at the same time on the same runway greatly saves time than one. It is important to know that in wartime, especially at front-line airfields, it is very dangerous to stay at the airfield waiting for takeoff, and one more second of stay will increase the incomparably greater risk. This maximizes the use of the runway and increases the take-off efficiency of the fighter.

At the same time, a two-plane formation is one of the basic tactics of aviation operations, and the take-off of a two-plane plane can directly form a combat formation to start the mission, without waiting for friendly planes to take off.

However, taking off in two-plane formation is a test of technology, especially the technology of the wingman who follows behind, Mustafa did not fly his own J-7 II fighter, what if the operation is wrong and collides?

Thinking of this, Qin Feng turned his head and looked at Mustafa on the right back side of him, Mustafa stretched out his hand and made an OK gesture.
