Chapter 568: Greeting
The Soviet-type aircraft had an advantage, that is, it was easy to change to fly.
No matter what kind of aircraft it is, from the original MiG-15 to the most advanced MiG-29, the instruments in the cockpit almost never change positions, so it is easy to fly over the MiG-15, carry the cockpit instruments, carry the position of each switch, and then change to fly other aircraft.
Western aircraft are different, people pay attention to ergonomics, pay attention to how the layout of the instrument is more suitable for the pilot to observe, as a result, each one is different, the same kind of aircraft, the front and rear improvements are also different, such as the F-16 in the long life cycle, the cockpit instruments in the early stage are completely different from the later stage, and the flight has to be re-adapted.
Now, when Qin Feng sat in the cabin of the Jianjiao 5, he didn't feel any difference, it looked almost the same as the Jian-7's, and there was no radar anyway.
It's early in the morning, and according to the plan, they will fly hundreds of kilometers east from here to welcome the arrival of the Blue Jays Air Show Team.
Qin Feng's application was quickly approved, so Qin Feng piloted a plane and carried out the task of welcoming VIPs with Lao Xiao.
With the help of ground crew, the turbojet-5 engine in the tail made a deafening sound, and then, the two planes formed and soon climbed into the sky.
When I was in the aviation school, the flight of the jet began on the Jianjiao 5, and now, when I fly this kind of plane again, the familiar feeling is back.
This was the first full-fledged jet of the Soviets, and at the same time established the position of the MiG in the jet era, but the Yak Design Bureau quickly lagged behind.
With the nose intake and the engine in the back, the whole aircraft is like a pencil, just plug in the wings and tail.
Moreover, compared with other aircraft, the biggest feature of this aircraft is that it is a subsonic aircraft.
In the era of the MiG-19, it began to cross the sound barrier, this kind of aircraft simply can't exceed the speed of sound, it was originally designed according to subsonic speed, which means that in this flight envelope, its flight performance is very outstanding.
Therefore, the flight demonstration team used the J-6 fighter in the early stage, but later, it was replaced by the J-5, as for the J-7, it is a high-altitude and high-speed fighter, and it is impossible to perform a flight show, which will wait until the appearance of the double-delta wing aircraft, and the shotgun will be changed.
Now, this plane is very flexible to operate, and it is very quick to get started, Qin Feng followed behind Lao Xiao, pulling two white smoke belts in the air at an altitude of 10,000 meters, heading towards the east, passing the capital, flying over Tianjin, and the blue waves were already rippling below.
"Discover the airspace ahead, about thirty kilometers, six targets." Qin Feng shouted over the radio.
The Jianjiao-5 does not have a radar, not even the Jian-7, so Chinese pilots must practice the ability to visually search for targets in the air under ground guidance, and Qin Feng is definitely the best among them if he can see the target 30 kilometers away.
Lao Xiao followed and looked over, he could only vaguely see that there was a reflection in the sky there, and he couldn't distinguish the specific target at all, Qin Feng's eyes were really sharp enough!
"Switch radios to common frequencies." According to the program, Qin Feng twisted the knob of the radio of Jianjiao 5, and on the corresponding frequency, he called in proficient English: "This is the Chinese Air Force, welcome to the Thunderbird Air Show Team!" ”
The superiors agreed to let Qin Feng come to greet him, there is another reason, the older generation of pilots are familiar with Russian at most, and there are not many who know English, Qin Feng is different, his English is at the aviation professional level, so he let him come.
After a noise in the headphones, a voice came from the other side: "Thunderbird received, very honored." ”
Compared to them, in fact, the Thunderbird air show team found these two targets earlier, and on the radar screen of the F-16, the two planes were so obvious.
Even if they flew over as a flight demonstration aircraft, the weapon system was not deleted, and they were capable of fighting at any time, and the radar in front was quite advanced, and the target in front was discovered very early.
The two sides were rapidly approaching, and before they could meet each other, Lao Xiao had already taken Qin Feng and began to turn.
There is no way, the speed of Jianjiao-5 is too low, and it will lose energy when turning, if you wait until the two sides fly past and then turn, after turning, you can only look at the F-16's ass and eat ashes.
Qin Feng also knew this in his heart, he could only watch the target slowly disappear in front of his eyes through the cumbersome cockpit compartment of Jianjiao 5, and then turn around with Lao Xiao, and after turning around, he continued to speed up, and the formation of six F-16s had already appeared above their heads.
Two Jianjiao five companions flew around each other's formations, Qin Feng looked at this fighter carefully from the side, in a blink of an eye, a few years have passed, last time in Lao Ba, Qin Feng once piloted the Jian-7M, and the opponent had a confrontation, but with all his strength, it only proved one result, as long as the pilot of the F-16 does not make mistakes, it is difficult for the Jian-7M to have a chance to win.
Quantitative superiority cannot overcome the gap in quality, this is a bloody reality, and it is precisely because of these that China must make great efforts to develop third-generation aircraft, and the Air Force must also try its best to obtain third-generation aircraft, otherwise, it will be beaten if it is backward.
Just as Qin Feng looked over, the pilots of the Thunderbird Air Show Team were also turning their heads to look at them, they were lying in the huge bubble cockpit, looking at the old Jianjiao Five here, with a meaningful look in their eyes.
Your planes are already lagging behind! Look, this is our most advanced fighter in the United States, and if you want to modernize your Air Force, you can only buy fighter jets from us!
Qin Feng's eyes were sharp, looking at these formations, looking at a famous pilot in the cockpit, slowly, he felt that his eyes were blurred, these fighters suddenly changed, the wings were pulled up to the back, becoming a large delta wing, and small wings appeared in front, becoming a fighter with a canard layout, and becoming his own Jian-10 fighter!
Wait, our own fighter will also be successfully developed, we will also have world-class fighters, we are lagging behind now, but not forever!
The plane continued to fly forward in the air, and when it reached the land, it flew over the big city, Nanyuan Airport, and got closer and closer.
At the airport, it was already full of people at this time, and after hearing about the American performance team, many people wanted to witness this unforgettable air show with their own eyes, in addition to the audience inside the airport, tens of thousands of people also gathered outside the airport.
