Chapter 1781: Transition Flight

There are a lot of bullets in some parts, and it depends on the angle of fire of both sides, among them, the wings or something, which are the most likely to be shot.

Although it has been shot a lot, it has come back after all, what does this mean? These places are already being beaten! For example, the engine in the tail section, as long as a bullet hits it, it may cause the engine to fail.

The axial engine inside, which has a speed of tens of thousands of revolutions, is easy to cause major accidents even if a piece of light aluminum alloy wreckage is sucked in.

Ted's proposal made Novotny's eyes light up, and he couldn't help asking, "What did you do before joining the army?" ”

"I'm still in college." "I studied statistics," Ted said. ”

Last year, Ted was still in college, as a junior, he had a restless heart, after many applications, he finally left the university temporarily, entered the aviation school, began to learn to fly, even if he had glider flight experience, it still took him a year, it was officially graduated from the aviation school.

He is a rookie, in fact, he is not a rookie, Germany has a fairly advanced aviation school, many front-line pilots, after accumulating enough combat exploits, will come down from the front line, to the rear to teach, they teach by word and deed, their experience is passed on to the students, and they must go through enough confrontation training before graduation.

This is absolutely different from the kind of pilot who has just learned to fly an airplane into the sky, and then is chased into the battlefield by ducks.

They already have the ability to fight, if they are lacking, it is that confrontation training can never replace actual combat, from this point of view, it is absolutely right to say that they are rookies, but as long as they go through one or two baptisms of battle, they will immediately mature.

With a famous pilot in place, Novotny also got into the fighter, expertly starting the engines, taxiing on the runway, taking off, and flying west.

Behind him, one after another fighters took off smoothly from the runway, and the transition flight of the Novotny Flying Group began again.

For fighter units, the transition is very common, after all, the range of front-line fighters is not large, even if it is long, the closer to the front line, the faster their support will be.

So, they are used to changing scenes often.

The direct flight from Iceland to Greenland is not far, almost after climbing to cruising altitude, after a few minutes of flight, it is time to descend.

Novotny adjusted the radio navigation in front of him, and heard the characteristic sound of the radio navigation in the headset, adjusted the nose slightly to make it louder, and then continued to fly.

Navigation is a big deal for any pilot.

And in this day and age, it's much more convenient.

In the past, it was almost dependent on the pilot's experience, charts, compasses, and manual calculations, which were indispensable.

Wait until there is radar, for the defending fighter units, it is a blessing, they can be guided by the ground radar, directly hit the target, the ground gives data such as flight direction, and after the completion of the interception, you can also return under the guidance of the ground, everything is very simple, and after the future generations have GPS, fools can also go to strange cities without getting lost.

(It's not a curse, East China Zhixiong is such a fool, the destination was in front, but he followed the navigation and made a big circle.) )

In addition to radar, the application of radio navigation is also quite convenient, in the air base, set up a navigation antenna, transmit electromagnetic signals, and then, as long as the fighter flies against the signal, the signal strength is the largest, and it can fly all the way to find the target.

This is the simplest principle of radio navigation.

The target airfield is said to be very secretive and cannot be seen from the sky, and it is their first flight, and the most important thing is to navigate, in addition to using aeronautical charts.

After continuing to fly for some time, Novotny was able to receive a signal from the radar station of the base for the voice guidance stage.

According to the instructions of the radar station, he lowered his altitude until he flew almost close to the ground and had entered the final landing route, and then Novotny finally saw the air base of the same color as the ground nearby, which was really imperceptible!

If the American bombers came to bomb, they would definitely not be able to find it.

Novotny's fighter plane landed on the runway with a standard attitude and slid to the tarmac, and behind him, one plane after another also landed skillfully, especially those rookies who had just entered the army, and they flew up very smoothly, and the landing posture was very beautiful.

"Jets, definitely jet troops." On the high mountain in the distance, two people in white snow suits were observing this place with high-powered military binoculars, and one of them whispered excitedly: "Quick, send a telegram immediately." ”

"No, we can't send a telegram, and if we do, it will be discovered by the Germans. We have to do it in the safest way. Another said, "I'm rowing out to sea tonight and returning to Baffin Island." ”

Germany's electronic technology is quite powerful, if there is an inexplicable radio signal, it will soon attract the capture of the Germans, and when the time comes, their capture is secondary, and the leakage of their own operation is the most terrible.

There can be no slip of the beat!

The white runway, connected with the surrounding white frozen soil, is the best protective color, you can't see anything from the air, the nearby hangar, the tower, are all white, here all year round, this color.

When the hatch was opened, a cold wind poured in, which made Novotny shiver, and in terms of latitude, it was about the same as Iceland, but the temperature was really low!

At this low temperature, it is very difficult for ordinary propeller fighters to start, especially the air-cooled engines, and often the ground power supply vehicles are exhausted before they can be started.

Liquid-cooled, you can use hot water to heat it in advance, but air-cooled ones can't, Lao Maozi often uses the way of baking, which is the most dangerous.

Jets, on the other hand, don't have these concerns, and they can start smoothly no matter what the temperature is.

Wrapped in a flight suit, Novotny got off the plane: "Everyone, go to the conference room, we need to immediately assign combat readiness duty." ”

It's on the front line, and the Americans are ready to make trouble, so to speak, as long as they come here, they're always in the middle of the battle, and they have to be prepared from now on.

Familiarity with the airspace nearby, combat readiness duty, dispatch flight teams, and readiness to deal with large-scale conflicts at any time, Novotny is quite proficient.
