648【P-26】
A biplane trainer plane stopped on the runway, and Zhou Hexuan grabbed the flight helmet and climbed into the cockpit.
Feng Yong stayed next to him and hurriedly reminded: "Remember to step on the pedal, if you don't step on the pedal, you will break the wings!" ”
Nima, the last plane may step on the wings of the plane, which sounds very unreliable.
Zhou Hexuan trembled and climbed into the cockpit, because only one person could sit in a single row, Feng Yong sat behind Zhou Hexuan after getting on the plane.
The structure of the driver's platform is not complicated, it is simpler than the cars of later generations, Feng Yong casually introduced it for two minutes, and Zhou Hexuan was already completely familiar with it, and then held the operating lever weakly.
You guessed it right, Mr. Zhou is going to learn to fly an airplane.
A young man stood in front of the plane and plucked the propellers, the plane gradually ran forward, and after reaching a certain speed, Feng Yong shouted: "Pull the rod!" ”
Zhou Hexuan hurriedly pulled the operating lever, and then the plane was lifted up violently, and it was already out of the ground in a blink of an eye.
"It's amazing!" Zhou Hexuan looked down happily.
The things on the ground were getting smaller and smaller, and the grinning wind blew Zhou Hexuan's face like a needle prick, and he said, "Fifth brother, this thing won't fall, right?" ”
"What did you say?" Feng Yong shouted.
Zhou Hexuan shouted: "I said, if something happens, you have to hold it for me!" ”
Feng Yong shouted: "It's okay, this is a training plane, I can operate it in the back row!" ”
Zhou Hexuan flew excitedly for a few minutes, feeling a little bored, and slammed the joystick to the side. The plane immediately turned into sideways flight mode, and Zhou Hexuan even felt weightless and frantically secreted adrenal hormones. “
"Yo he...... Ahem! Zhou Hexuan shouted excitedly, and the wind poured into his mouth and coughed continuously.
After the plane regained its balance, Feng Yong shouted: "Lalala, pull to the end!" ”
Zhou Hexuan immediately pulled the joystick to the end, and the plane began to climb steeply, almost flipping back, the feeling of instantaneous weightlessness was too exciting.
Under Feng Yong's command, Zhou Hexuan, a novice, quickly played a side flip, causing stomach discomfort and a strong feeling of vomiting began to occur - pilots are really not everyone's work.
After surviving the initial discomfort, Zhou Hexuan gradually recovered and played all kinds of tricks like crazy. This frightened Feng Yong, an old antique trainer plane really couldn't stand the toss, he was afraid that Zhou Hexuan would fall apart.
It wasn't until the plane's fuel tanks were about to bottom out that Zhou Hexuan began to land, well, it was mainly controlled by Feng Yong when landing.
"Haha, it's fun, it's fun to fly a plane!" Zhou Hexuan burst out laughing as soon as he landed.
Feng Yong pretended to be forced to say: "Blue sky is a man's real dream, 10,000 times cooler than driving a car!" ”
Zhou Hexuan nodded and said, "That's true." ”
Feng Yong gave a thumbs up: "You kid is very suitable for flying planes, you can fully adapt to it the first time you go to the sky, just stay in the United States and train with me." ”
"No, I'm just having fun." Zhou Hexuan hurriedly refused.
For most of the next half a month, Zhou Hexuan lived in the flying club, played all kinds of planes in the club, and was completely able to fly alone.
Four more coaches came to the club, all of whom were U.S. Air Force soldiers who had fought in World War I. During the Great Depression, the wages were very cheap, and if it weren't for the small number of students, Zhou Hexuan would have wanted to hire a few more coaches in one go.
By the end of March, Zhou Hexuan finally received good news that Boeing was willing to sell P-26 fighter jets to Zhou Hexuan.
This was the first monoplane fighter adopted by the US Army Air Corps, and after several changes, it was really finalized last year, and it can be called the most advanced fighter in the United States at this time.
Zhou Hexuan was able to successfully buy the P-26 thanks to the US economic crisis. Over the years, Boeing has been competing with its old rival Curtis, changing various tricks to expand its sales, and is even more active in developing new customers. And because the US military spending is shrinking year by year, Boeing has spent a lot of time and money to develop the P-26 fighter, and now it is facing a very embarrassing situation - the military has only purchased 25 aircraft, and it is not ready to expand the purchase.
It's a loss to grandma's house!
After learning that Zhou Hexuan wanted to buy fighter jets, Boeing quickly gave feedback, frantically promoted their P-26 fighters, and also took the initiative to do the work of the US government.
The proviso conditions were: first, the P-26 must not be shipped out of the United States; second, more than 10 aircraft must be purchased at one time; Thirdly, no weapons should be added to the aircraft; Fourth, each P-26 sells for a whopping $300,000 (a very outrageous price).
Zhou Hexuan agreed to come down in one bite, and he didn't bother to bargain.
What does this amount to?
Equivalent to the 21st century, in the second year after the F22 stealth fighter was developed, it was sold to private individuals at a high price.
Well, maybe the analogy is inappropriate, after all, the P-26 has only reached the world-class level, and the United States is not the only one who has mastered this technology. But it is also the most advanced fighter in the United States, and even the US Air Force has only purchased 15 of them, how can Zhou Hexuan miss this opportunity?
When 10 P-26s, costing $3 million, arrived at the club, everyone was stunned.
Feng Yong's eyes lit up directly, and he met a peerless beauty with a pervert, and he touched the plane for half an hour without letting go. He sighed and praised: "The heavy weapon of the country, the heavy weapon of the country, you can earn it at just a glance, and Lao Tzu actually has the opportunity to open it himself!" ”
A young man interjected: "Principal, this kind of single-wing fighter won't break its wings when it does difficult flights, right?" ”
"Break your mother!"
Feng Yong slapped the young man on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile: "People have been developing it for several years, and I don't know how many flight tests have been done, and even the US Air Force is procuring it." If this can still break the wings, the Americans should eat. ”
Zhou Hexuan said: "The two Yankees over there are responsible for teaching you the maintenance and simple repair of this kind of aircraft. If something goes wrong, call Boeing directly and they'll take care of it. ”
"No problem, no problem," Feng Yong laughed, "I promise to keep those two Americans as grandfathers." ”
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "Then you slowly become a grandson, I will return to China tomorrow." ”
"Don't worry about going back, it's all handed over to me here," Feng Yong said in a low voice, "By the way, this kind of plane really can't be transported back to China?" If you can purchase hundreds of them, Lao Tzu promises to turn over little Japan in the sky. ”
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "It is definitely not possible to transport them back to China, these planes are numbered, and there are military personnel to check them every month, and our flying club will not be able to drive without one of them, and all of you will go to prison." ”
"It's a shame." Feng Yong said disappointedly.
Zhou Hexuan smiled: "It's a pity." Lao Tzu was extorted by Boeing for $300,000 per plane. If you buy a few hundred of them, even if they can be shipped back to China, who can afford it? That's enough money to equip a couple of full-weavers. ”
Feng Yongle said: "That's the same." ”
"By the way," Zhou Hexuan said, "we now have more planes than students, do you want to get some students from China?" ”
Feng Yong said: "You can go to Xiao Liuzi for this matter." ”
Zhou Hexuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell him when I go back." ”
