0372, you are the captain of the aerobatic team
"Puff puff!"
The propeller slowed down and finally stopped.
Redding took off his flying cap and stared blankly ahead.
It wasn't until the ground crew gently tapped on the cockpit canopy that he slowly came to his senses.
"Wow!"
Reading opened the canopy, and the ground crew immediately asked:
"Sir, is there anything unusual about the plane?"
Reading couldn't help but be stunned.
Although the "Bucks" team is very famous, they do not have a lot of money on hand, and they can't afford to hire ground crew.
In the past, pilots had to spend a long time on maintenance at the end of the show.
When I was young, I didn't think it was good, but now that I'm older, I'm really a little powerless.
"When climbing rapidly, the body trembled violently. There was also a bit of a problem with the engine, and even if the afterburner was pushed to the end, the revs were not very good. β
Reading said to the Chinese ground crew.
He never dared to underestimate the Chinese people.
This is because it was the Chinese air defense missile unit that shot itself down in the sky over Annam.
However, Reading still felt empty in his heart.
The contract of intent has been signed, and from today the "Bucks" are someone else's.
It's like raising a child yourself, but you have to give it to someone else, and it's really hard to let go.
"Mr. Redding, I'll report back to you after dinner, and I ask you to sign it here."
The Huaxia ground staff handed over a form, and Reading glanced at it and was shocked to find that the columns on it were very detailed.
"The Beacon Museum is so professional!"
What Reading didn't know was that these ground crews were all veterans of the Air Force ground crew.
After they were recruited by Xu Tai, they received more in-depth training, and now their skills have reached a higher level.
Moreover, the Beacon Museum has copied the system of the army, and has been truly meticulous in repairing and maintaining this link.
"Reading, we should have a drink with those two boys, I'm back alive today."
Just as Reading was leaving the plane, an old fellow said loudly.
"Yes, today's performance was impeccable, and we should celebrate."
"Those two boys are as good as Big Joe and Tony, if we meet them earlier, we will be able to fly nine planes, and they will definitely not be much worse than Red Eagle."
Looking at the excited faces of the old fellows, Reading said:
"Don't worry, we still have to ask the boss if we can get the highest bonus at our level!"
The top priority is to make up for the surgery, and nothing is more important than that.
The excitement on the faces of the old fellows faded suddenly.
Even if you get the highest prize money, there is still some distance from the surgery fee, but where can you get that money?
Just when they were embarrassed, a voice suddenly sounded in their ears.
"You don't have to worry about the cost of the operation, I've already contacted the doctor for the patient, and a foundation has promised to fund all the costs."
"Mr. Lin Chao!"
Reading was stunned.
Big Joe and Tony are their brothers, even if they give up all their net worth, it is a matter of course.
But Lin Chao is an outsider after all, does he have other intentions in doing this?
Lin Chao smiled:
"Mr. Redding, what I need is a bunch of mentally stable old fritters. Worried all day, do I dare to let you fly? β
Veteran pilots used up enough gasoline to often laugh at themselves as "old fritters." β
The same goes for "old bald people", because they inhale too much oxygen, which will cause a lot of hair to fall out.
Reading nodded and said:
"Mr. Lin Chao, you are right, we really shouldn't mix too many personal factors in the flight. Today, without the assistance of the other two pilots, the Bucks squad would definitely not be very good. Here, I would like to express my gratitude to you, to those two pilots. β
Lin Chao smiled.
"Mr. Redding, I know you're trying, but aerobatics is still young people's business. There are several dangerous moves today, not that they are difficult, but that your reflexes are not as agile as they used to be. β
Reading was eclipsed.
The other party was not wrong, if it weren't for the command of the Chinese pilot, the "Bucks" squad would have been wiped out when they flew against each other.
"Are you saying you're going to fire us?"
The reason why the "Bucks" squad is famous is because of the superb skills of the pilots.
If it can't even do that, it will exist in name only.
Reading had already thought of this, but the ending came too quickly, which caught him off guard.
Lin Chao shook his head.
"No, on the contrary, I want you to be the captain of the aerobatic team at the Beacon Museum."
If nothing else, the fact that Reading made up the cost of surgery for the families of the brothers who died is enough to illustrate his character.
Moreover, most of the aerobatic teams who are here today have watched them perform since they were children, and they are absolutely able to stand up to the scene in terms of qualifications.
Even if anyone dares to stab, just let him fly into the sky and "bloom in the air".
With these advantages, Lin Chao can't choose Reading or not.
Reading was stunned.
"It's ......."
The rule of the arena is to eliminate the weak and keep the strong, and these old guys are no longer able to do it, and it is time to retire.
ζθΆ ζ£θ² says:
"Reading, I'm very dissatisfied with the status quo of the aerobatic team, and now I can get my hands on a four-plane formation, which is too far from what I requested. What should you do as a captain? β
Reading groaned slightly.
"Mr. Lin Chao, if you want to become a world-class pilot, you must fly more, and the starting point should be more than 1,000 hours, otherwise even if you are a genius, you can't do it well. However, this will require a significant investment, perhaps even tens of millions of dollars. β
There used to be a popular saying that a pilot is worth the same weight of gold.
However, this sentence has long been behind.
During the Gulf War, the cost of training fighter pilots was already several times higher than gold.
Now that it has developed to the fifth generation aircraft, this price has increased several times.
Stunt pilots are best selected from among the veteran pilots, and only by choosing these veterans who have been trained at any cost can they better adapt to the environment.
Like a pilot trained at a training station, it is okay to fly a take-off and landing, but flying complex aerobatic maneuvers is undoubtedly self-defeating.
Lin Chao smiled:
"Your job is to revive the Bucks, and you don't have to worry about anything else."
Reading sighed secretly.
This guy in front of him should be a rich man!
But does he know how many dollars it would take?
At least more than two million, even those wealthy families may not be able to come up with such a huge amount of money at once.
"It is a great honour, sir, to be reassured of this. But I need a lot of money, otherwise I won't be able to do this work. β
ζθΆ says:
"I can give you the money directly, but there is a request. At the end of the festival, three aerobatic teams of 12 aircraft were retained, each with 9 on standby and 3 on the bench. β
Reading groaned slightly and said:
"$10 million, I'll give you an answer in the middle of next year."
Lin Chao shook his head.
"20 million euros, I have to have an answer before the end of the year."
Reading gritted his teeth.
"Deal!"
