In 1984, Factory 132 finally went through the most difficult time and ushered in glory.

The J-7M fighter, equipped with Marconi company's advanced avionics equipment, finally completed all the debugging work, overcame all the technical problems, and when everyone went to Grumman on a business trip, the 132 factory received the first batch of production equipment.

There is still a difference between the equipment that was debugged in the past and the current production equipment, and the production equipment has been finalized, and no changes will be made, as long as the machine is installed, which also means that the new fighters can finally be continuously produced.

However, this has been a year behind the scheduled schedule, in order to deliver fighters to the Jordanian side on time, the original Tu Lao made a bold production plan, and when he did not get this kind of production equipment, he began to produce the J-7M fighter, so that when the production equipment was received, transported back, and installed on the J-7 fighter, the entire production of the aircraft could be completed.

This speed is quite fast, and at the end of this year, the export task of 30 J-7M will be completed!

When everyone returned to the factory, the first batch of J-7M fighters had been assembled to the fifth, the entire aircraft, the nose was still empty, the outer skin had long been removed, and the structural framework was exposed inside.

In addition to meeting the schedule, it is also necessary to ensure quality, and if it is reworked, it will cause even greater time delays.

Now, the Egyptian delegation also came to the 132 factory, and Major General Kerry watched the busy workers with great interest, and the old Tu on the side was introducing Major General Kerry.

"In terms of flight quality, our J-7 is better than the MiG-21MF, moreover, our engines have been improved, the life has been increased to 250 hours, of course, the biggest improvement is the electronic system, which is the most advanced fire control system in this era, the head-up display system, is the trend of the future, we successfully achieved it on the J-7, last year, you and the United States conducted joint military exercises, and also visited their fighters, right? Our HUD, and the F-16, are from the same supplier. ”

With the peace talks between Egypt and Israel, Egypt and the Soviet Union completely broke with the United States and got closer to the United States, just last year, they also held joint military exercises, at that time, the Egyptian Air Force must have inspected F-16 fighters, I am afraid that it is as greedy as its own drooling, right?

Egypt may not have so much money to buy F-16, but it will be easy to buy its own Jian-7.

"I want to fly once." Major General Kerry said.

Looking at Major General Kerry, whose hair was already graying, everyone was stunned, why, do you still want to get on the plane?

Originally, they were with test pilots, such as Qin Feng's old friend Mustafa, and now, Qin Feng is with Mustafa, standing next to a J-7M fighter that has been assembled, Qin Feng is giving him a serious explanation, what is the difference between it and the first batch of J-7 they bought.

And now, Major General Kerry said that he would fly in person, and everyone was shocked.

For fighter pilots, about thirty years old is the golden age, and when they reach the age of forty, their bodies begin to fail, and when they are fifty years old, they generally can't fly, otherwise a big overload maneuver will make the body unbearable.

If there is a two-seater plane, then you can also let Major General Kerry give it a try, but the J-7 is now a single-seater, and the two-seater J-7 will take several years to come out.

Major General Kerry is going to fly in person, okay?

If it falls, let's not talk about this plane, at least I can't explain it to the Egyptian side, and it will cast a shadow on the exit of the Jian-7, whether it is human error or mechanical failure, it's hard to say.

"What? Are you worried that I won't be able to fly? Major General Kerry said: "Up to now, I still maintain more than 100 hours of flying time a year. Why don't I say hello to the Jordanian side? ”

This batch of planes was produced for Jordan, and Major General Kerry was going to fly, so it must be Jordanian planes that were flying.

Major General Kerry said this, and Tu Lao could only bite the bullet: "Okay, then please fly once." ”

Soon, Major General Kerry, wearing a full set of flight equipment, came to the airport, where the first few J-7Ms that had just been produced were still conducting test flights, and they needed to complete the test flights of various properties before they could remove their wings and load them in containers for transportation.

Major General Kerry climbed into the plane, his helmet covering his face, he looked like an old man, still as strong as a young lad.

After Rear Admiral Kerry entered the plane, he skillfully turned on various switches, the engine in the tail was activated, and then, extravagantly, he turned on the afterburner, and the fighter slid and took off, with smooth movements.

Fortunately, in order not to worry about the people below, Major General Kerry did not make a particularly dangerous maneuver, but just circled around the airfield and fell, landing and taking off, quite skillfully.

"This plane flies really well, and the aircraft handles well; Use a heads-up display in the air, the characters are clear, and the performance is very good; A pair of drop fuel tanks were added to the wings, and the range was increased; New missiles have been replaced, and the attack capability has been enhanced. I love this aircraft from the bottom of my heart. Major General Kerry came down and said to the crowd.

It was not in vain to let the old general fly around in the sky, he has already expressed his liking for this kind of aircraft, which means that the possibility of exporting to Egypt has increased by another point!

"General, we can continue to talk." Tu Lao said: "For the countries of the third world, our aircraft is the best choice, the use of low cost, high effect, if you can import Sidewinder missiles, you can mount Sidewinder missiles on this aircraft." ”

Qin Feng stood there, looking at the old general, his heart was full of envy, the fifty-year-old old general! In another 20 years, it will be the new millennium, and when the time comes, will you still be able to fly?

Of course, when the time comes, I will not only fly, but also fly the most advanced fighter of the motherland! In another twenty years, there must be modern fighters in the sky above the motherland, and the Tomcat I saw this time is very powerful, and his motherland, by that time, will definitely be able to produce more advanced and powerful fighters than Tomcats, Qin Feng is full of expectations and hopes.

Even if you can't fly, you have to stand here and watch the new annihilation of the motherland fly into the blue sky!

"Your general, how brave you are." Qin Feng said.

"Your generals are also very good, especially that General Lin, who is also a tiger general." Mustafa said.

General Lin also followed, at this time, he was also looking at the Jian-7M distracted, this general, also old and strong, to more than ten years later, he was not willing to be quite old, personally piloted the Su-27 fighter, flying in the blue sky of the motherland.
