Chapter 336: The Trainer Plane Has Arrived

In the clear sky, two blue fighters were soaring in the sky, they swept like two nimble swallows, they chased each other, one would fly up and down like a swallow, and the other would fight each other like fierce falcons, perhaps tired, half an hour later the two fighters flew side by side towards the ground.

Myron Hand said into the microphone in an admiring tone while piloting the fighter plane: "Hung ...... It seems that I am going to take back my words, your learning progress has exceeded my expectations, it only took more than ten days for you to master the performance and flying skills of this fighter, I have to say that you have the qualifications to be my opponent! ”

"Huh...... Myron, if you don't brag, you'll die! Myron Hand's headset came from Hong Weitao's disdainful voice, "Did you win the battle just now?" ”

Myron Hand smiled: "I didn't win, but I didn't lose either, did I?" That's why I said you have what it takes to be my opponent. ”

Hong Weitao's helpless voice came from the headset: "Oh...... You arrogant bastard, aren't you Germans very strict and old-fashioned, how did you come out of such a scum. ”

After Chu Yuan received five BF-109 fighters, only Hong Weitao and the other six pilots of the Fourth Destroyer Group were willing to stay, and after nearly 10 days of redressing, Hong Weitao was also somewhat familiar with this fighter from Germany. Overall, the BF-109 is indeed an advanced fighter, it flies fast, has strong firepower, has strong vertical maneuverability, and has strong armor, which are its advantages. But its drawbacks are not without it.

First of all, what makes Hong Weitao and these old pilots most picky is that its flight range is too short, and the flight range of only 700 kilometers has made Hong Weitao and them complain over and over again these days. And the high-speed operation performance is not particularly good, plus the visibility is not very good. This requires the experience of the pilot to compensate, but in general the BF-109 is indeed an excellent fighter at the moment.

After the two of them circled around Jiujiang Qinzhou Airport, they drove the plane to land on a leveled runway.

After getting off the plane, Myron Hand looked left and right, and found that all the people who used to watch the excitement by the runway were nowhere to be seen, and he couldn't help but ask a ground crew member who stepped forward, "Where have they gone?" ”

"Lieutenant, you're patronizing. Don't you know that the trainer plane you keep shouting about has arrived? And I heard that the miraculous General Su also got a batch of American fighters, and they all ran to see the excitement! ”

"What? There are American planes? Myron Hand, when he heard this, glanced at the magnificent pain on the side. The two of them immediately pulled out their legs and ran towards the hangar in the distance.

When they came to the hangar a few hundred meters away, they saw that the hangar was already crowded with people. Colonel Gladstone led people around a plane to discuss, while Su Jin, who was wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, was talking to several generals.

Myron, who was squeezing in with his tall man, asked Mickey, "Sir." Is this the new trainer? ”

"Yes!" Mickey said without looking back: "This is indeed a good training aircraft." With a wide field of vision and simple operation, coupled with a landing gear that can retract the house, it is indeed very suitable for use as a training aircraft. ”

Myron stepped forward, touched the cold metal fuselage, and asked, "What's the name of this plane?" ”

Su Jin on the side replied: "It's called AT-6 "Texan", it is a junior training aircraft produced by the Yankees, I got a total of twenty of them this time, I think it is enough for you to train those pilots." ”

"God. More than 100 trainees are equipped with 20 training aircraft, which is too extravagant. ”

Myron couldn't help but exclaim. In Germany's flight schools, there are fewer than 60 trainers for thousands of cadets, and now these academies are equipped with one for every six or seven people, which is too much luxury for the budget-conscious Germans.

At this time, Mikey said a little angrily on the side: "That's not all, our General Su also equipped his pilots with another fighter!" ”

As soon as he heard this, due to the characteristics of the pilot, Myron's eyes were a little straight: "What fighter?" ”

Mikey casually pointed to the hangar in front of him: "Well, that's the one inside." ”

Looking in the direction of Mikey's finger, Myron hadn't spoken yet, and Hong Weitao, who had just squeezed in, shouted in surprise: "It's an American wildcat!" ”

Yes, the plane not far from them with a stubby appearance and folded wings is the American-made F4F Wildcat fighter, which is a supplement made by Su Jin to make up for the short range of the Bf-109. Although this Wildcat fighter did not have too impressive results in another time and space, its long range of 1,239 kilometers, wide field of view, and the firepower of six large-caliber machine guns and a sturdy fuselage were enough to complete the current Japanese fighters.

However, Su Jin's move also made Mikey, the flight instructors from Germany, feel a little unhappy, and after everyone dispersed, Mikey asked Su Jin: "General Su, as far as I know, the performance of this Wildcat fighter of the Americans is not better than our Messerschmitt fighter, why do you want to purchase this fighter?" It is not a good thing to have too many types of fighters, which will increase the workload of our ground crew. ”

Su Jin did not expose the little patriotic feelings in Mikey's heart, but said with a smile: "Colonel Mikey, can you introduce me to a German aircraft with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers and performance comparable to the Bf-109?" ”

Mickey couldn't help but be dumbfounded, now there is really no German fighter with a range of more than 1,000 kilometers.

Looking at Mikey's somewhat stupid expression, Su Jin also shrugged his shoulders. The performance of the fighter designed by the Germans is indeed excellent, but there is a shortcoming that makes him very unhappy, that is, the fighters shot by the Germans generally have a short range, such as the Bf-109, and the same is true of the FW-190 designed later. Of course, this is not to say that the Germans do not have long-range fighters, but they are all twin-engine fighters, which can only be used for escort or night interception, and are not suitable for fighting for air supremacy.

"Okay, don't be discouraged, your fighters are certainly very powerful, but American fighters also have their advantages, at least in terms of armor protection, they are better than your Bf-109, aren't they?"

Mickey replied dismissively, "Hmph...... The Americans are eager to stuff the entire pilot into a steel plate, what is there to be proud of. ”

"Hahaha......" Mikey's words made Su Jin couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued.) )
