Chapter 237: Air Rescue 3 (II)
"It's no problem to fly for another 100 years!" Pandey laughed.
Tchaikov was speechless, and at this time, a coughing sound came from the headphones.
Sherpa was talking to Tchaikov just now, and he didn't pay attention, a huge flying stone fell down on him, fortunately, Wang Xingguo's eyes were quick and he fell to the ground, the stone hit the place where Sherpa was standing, making a loud noise, and the walkie-talkie in Sherpa also fell to the side, Sherpa coughed and got up, found the walkie-talkie, but couldn't speak for a while.
"We're all alive, right in the middle of the mountain line, and there's a huge crater next to it...... "Sherpa regained his breath and continued to report his location.
"Alright, Roger, next to the crater!" Pandey also heard the call in the headset.
"Bang!" The plane shook violently, as if it had been hit by something, and Tchaikov looked back at the place where the sound sounded, and a flying stone smashed through the side of the plane's cabin, revealing a large hole.
"We've been hit!" Tchaikov shouted.
"Calm down! The helicopter I piloted was hit with more than 200 bullet holes and flew back! Pandey still didn't care.
"Pull up! Pull it up! The plane flew almost close to the ground, and the co-pilot was suddenly horrified to see the ground not far in front of him suddenly crack, and then countless rocks and burning magma were thrown into the sky.
"If you pull it up, you won't be able to see the ground!" Pandey skillfully twisted the fuselage and skimmed past the crater.
As soon as Pandey had relieved a crisis, Tchaikov, who was sweating hotly, had not yet let go, and the plane was violently jolting again, and he saw that it was falling to the ground diagonally.
"Pull up! Pull it up! Pull it up! The co-pilot used all his strength to pull back the joystick to help Pandey get the plane back into flight.
"It's on fire! It's on fire! "The plane had just stabilized, less than 20 meters above the ground, the engine roared in pain, the plane slowly gained altitude, and the people in the cabin shouted again.
Tchaikov looked back sharply, and it turned out that a lump of magma had hit the plane directly below, piercing the floor of the plane's cabin, and the heat of the magma ignited the relief supplies in the plane.
The two men hurriedly used fire extinguishers to extinguish the fire in the cabin, and there were bursts of smoke and dust from the fire extinguishers in the cabin, and nothing could be seen.
"Tchaikov, the engine power is decreasing, throw away all the unnecessary things!" Pandey exclaimed when he saw the engine's overheated gauge, the pointer still heading towards the crimson zone.
"What?" Tchaikov did not hear clearly.
"Except for people! Throw away everything you can, the engine is dying! Pandey roared.
Tchaikov hurriedly ran back into the cabin, fumbled in the smoke, untied the straps, and whatever it was, pushed out of the cabin.
"Tell them to give me a ground signal, I can't see anyone!" After throwing things away, Pandey felt that the fuselage was much lighter and more agile, and he flew along the mountain line, probably almost there, but at this time he saw no sign of people on the ground.
"Ground, ground, give a signal, we can't see you! Feed! Feed! Tchaikov picked up the microphone and shouted, but there was not even electromagnetic noise in the headphones. Tchaikov pulled the microphone hard, only to find that the microphone cable was hanging on the floor, and looked along the broken line, there was a large charred black hole in the radio, and the flying magma just now had damaged the radio station.
"The radio is broken! The radio is broken! Tchaikov shouted.
"It's terrible! Don't worry, I still have a way! Pandey shouted, and with a press of the joystick, the plane flew almost close to the mountain line.
Flying when visibility is so low, there is no ground indication and can only be detected by sight, so Pandey lowers the altitude and passes through the field at low altitude, and turns back after discovering the ground personnel, this method cannot be done at one time, but there is no other better way.
It's just that this will stay in the danger zone for a longer time and will also make the plane more dangerous, but Pandey probably won't listen to anyone's dissuasion at this time, and the co-pilot has to try to control his hands and feet that are trembling with fright, and help Pandey complete the low-altitude clearance.
Wang Xingguo and others had already heard the noise of the plane, but they could not see the plane at this time, and after a while, a pillar of light appeared in the direction of the noise, and the searchlight of the helicopter pierced the smoke, and the distance was already very close.
"Watch!" Pandey shouted.
Tchaikov and the others opened the cabin door and looked to both sides, trying to find the people on the ground in the darkness.
"Signal stick! Fast! Signal sticks! Wang Xingguo shouted that under this visibility, the visual search of the aircraft is unreliable, and they must be given a target designation.
There were still a few signal sticks in the Sherpa rescue equipment, he quickly opened his backpack, took out the signal rod and handed it to Wang Xingguo, Wang Xingguo pulled the signal rod and held it high above his head and waved it.
As soon as Wang Xingguo danced the signal baton, he felt a huge air current pressing over, he crouched down, and in the darkness, a huge helicopter passed less than two meters above his head.
"I found them! Green signal! Pandey! Turn! Turn! Tchaikov saw the signal baton waving on the ground and shouted.
"No problem!" Pandey steered the plane to make a U-turn, overlapping course and flying back, and after a while, he saw the green signal stick on the ground dancing.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, I saw 6 people!" Tchaikov leaned out of the cabin, and when the plane got closer, he saw six people, Dick lying on the ground.
Pandey drove the plane to slow down and hovered at an altitude of more than 10 meters on the mountain line, and there was no place to land in this place, so he could only hover for rescue.
Tchaikov dropped a rescue rope, and the man on the ground dragged it over and tied the harness to Dick.
The winch on the plane creaked, lifting the limp Dick from the ground.
"Damn, you need to hurry! The engine can't hold on! "The co-pilot saw that the engine temperature was about to reach the limit, and he didn't know when it would burn up.
Tchaikov scrambled to untie Dick from his seat belt, and the other man quickly dragged him aside, now only with a rescue rope, and it would take 100 minutes to get everyone up at the earliest.
"It's enough to save Dick! The engine is about to explode! The co-pilot shouted, and he saw that Dick had entered the cabin.
"10 minutes! It takes 10 minutes! Tchaikov shouted.
"I can't hold out for 10 minutes...... co-pilot shouted.
The helicopter hovers with more power, and at this time the two old engines can no longer provide such high power, and after entering the volcanic area, the engine sucks in a large amount of volcanic ash, increasing the friction of the engine, and the co-pilot does not know how long it can last.
"Sit tight!" Pandey screamed, and before everyone could react, the plane suddenly fell.
"Crash! Crash! The co-pilot screamed in horror, let go of the joystick with both hands, and instinctively protected his head.
"Haha, helicopters are still fine!" Pandey laughed wildly, and after the plane suddenly fell, more than a meter above the ground, Pandey suddenly raised the throttle and hovered the plane.
"Quick! Fast! The plane can't hold on! Tchaikov waved his hand at the hatch and told everyone to hurry up and get on the plane.
Wang Xingguo first pushed Xia Ruobing onto the plane, and when he finally climbed into the plane, the volcano erupted again as if in anger, throwing a large amount of magma into the sky.
"Ahh It's spectacular, but I'm leaving! Pandey pulled the joystick diagonally, and the plane flew diagonally down the mountain line, and then flew almost close to the ground.
Everyone was on the plane, and Tchaikov sat down on the cabin floor and said, "Dick, you'd better be worthy of me!" ”
Although people have left the ground, it is still too early to talk about safety, the plane has to pass through dozens of kilometers of volcanic areas, dodging all kinds of flying rocks and lava, the pointer of the engine overheating has stopped at the top of the instrument, it is already a miracle that it is not on fire, and the hairy things are really durable! But even so, Pandey still felt that the engine was a little soft and weak, and the plane could only fly close to the ground, and every time he tried to increase the power to pull up, the engine always did not respond.
"Pull up! Pull it up! Pandey! Pull it up! "There was a small hill in front of the plane, and the co-pilot watched the plane rush straight into the middle of the hill, and he pulled the control stick with all his strength, pulling the control stick to the limit, but the plane didn't seem to react at all.
Pandey quickly lowered the speed of the flight, and then jerked the joystick, and Tchaikov and the others heard the engine squeak overhead, and the head of the plane was raised.
The belly of the plane almost brushed against the top of the mountain, and then there was a jolt in the cabin, and the wheels of the plane crashed into a rock, but the plane did not crash!
"Haha, I'll just say this helicopter can be used for another 100 years." Pandey exclaimed triumphantly, flying over here is a flat river.
The plane was finally stabilized, and the co-pilot was now almost slumped in his seat, muttering to himself, "I'm going to resign!" I must resign! ”
The black ground had turned into a white lake of ice, the airflow had smoothed out, perhaps back into the cold air, the engine overheating alarm that had screamed just now had subsided, and the gauge hands were slowly moving back, and everyone could now breathe a sigh of relief.
Chen Badai touched his head, another catastrophe did not die, although the experience of taking a helicopter for the first time was not very good, but it was much better than cooking barbecue meat there, Chen Badai felt very thirsty at this time, and searched for drinks to drink in the cabin.
"Hey! There is only one rule when getting on my plane, don't mess with things, helicopters have a bad temper! Pandey handed over control of the plane to the co-pilot and went into the cabin to loudly announce his rules.
"What?" Chen Badai couldn't hear the noise of the engine, and his hand was reaching for what looked like a storage basket, where there was something that looked like a water bottle.
"Don't move!" Pandey shouted, and he saw Chen Badai's hand reach out where it shouldn't.
But it was still late, Chen Badai had already taken out the thing, as if there was something else connected, Chen Badai was thinking about drinking water, and with a pull, he ripped off the thread connected to the "water bottle".
"Crackling...... Boom ......" An arc of electricity flashed in the cabin, and a small explosion occurred.
Pandey cursed and quickly ran back to the cockpit.
Chen Badai was still puzzled, why was this pilot so fierce, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and the roaring engine above his head just now instantly quieted down, and even the wind outside could be heard.
"What's the situation?" The co-pilot's heart, which he had managed to put down, lifted again, and he saw that the engine tachometer was rapidly dropping, and the noisy-sounding but essential noise was also weakening.
"Crash for the 10th time!" Pandey shouted.
