Chapter 301: Barcelona Air Base
The Barcelona Air Base is still brightly lit now, not because of any conspiracy as Lin Qing thought, but because of the arrival of F-16 fighters, all the Philippine Air Force soldiers feel that their morale is greatly boosted and they are stepping up their training.

Ten years of the army, a hundred years of the navy, this proverb does not mention the air force, but the air force needs the technical content, training time and so on is not worse than the navy, an air force wants to form combat effectiveness, not with advanced fighters to form combat effectiveness, but also need a lot of factors, such as infrastructure construction, auxiliary equipment configuration, but one of the most important is the training of pilots.
The ability of the pilots determines the combat effectiveness of this air force, and a good pilot, even if the aircraft does not have any advantage in performance, shoots down enemy troops, or pilots the same fighter jets, ace pilots can achieve more results.
Just like the proverbial 100-year-old navy, the reason why naval construction needs 100 years is because it requires continuous accumulation of experience and passing it down from generation to generation, and the same is true for the Air Force.
However, these things are scarce in the Philippine Air Force, they have no experience at all, and in the history of their country, the Air Force has no training program other than daily patrols.
And the Philippine Air Force pilots, before the arrival of the F16 fighters, most of them were driving old-fashioned fighters, and few people had ever seen supersonic fighters, let alone driven supersonic fighters, and the Filipinos had ordered several training simulators from the United Kingdom had not yet arrived, and some of the rest of the equipment was on the way to the cargo ship, but it is estimated that they could not wait for these things, and they had been stolen by Lin Qing as accessories for the F16 fighter.
However, this time the Philippine government is determined to vigorously improve its air force, and now the pilots at Barcelona Air Base are getting up early and training late every day.
And the British are good people this time to do it to the end, send Buddha to the West, not only sell the most advanced fighter jets in the Philippines, but also responsible for training, after the British pilot who transported the F16 fighter jet landed in the Philippines, he did not choose to return to the UK for the first time, but received an order from the UK to help the Filipinos get familiar with the F16 fighter jet, and was responsible for the instructor.
In fact, at first, the British did not plan to train pilots for Philippine soldiers, after all, if there was a problem with the fighter, the Philippines would have to find its own maintenance, which would also be a considerable expense, but after the Philippine government proposed some secret treaties, the British happily accepted the request of the Filipinos, and there were several ace pilots among this group of pilots.
After the F16 fighter arrived in Manila, after a grand reception ceremony, the Barcelona Air Base became the nest of the Philippine F16 fighter.
The Philippine government also acted very decisively this time, and immediately began to gather all the outstanding pilots in the Philippines after the signing of the treaty on the purchase of fighter jets.
And not only from the military, including some Philippine Airlines civil aviation pilots have been forced to enlist by the Philippine government, as long as they have enough flight experience and are Filipino citizens, all have been notified.
What's even more crazy is that the Philippine government, which doesn't know that the string is wrong, has begun to recruit F16 fighter pilots from abroad in order to make the F16 fighter jet form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
Lin Qing flapped his wings and flew slowly at an altitude of thirty meters, which was the most ideal altitude, at this altitude, the radar of the Philippine airport would not detect his existence, and he could not be detected by the naked eye in the air in the dark night.
While flying, he was thinking about the question in his mind, why was the Philippine Air Force Base still lit up so late, and the closer he got to the Barcelona Air Base, Lin Qing could still see the airport staff who were busy.
When Lin Qing approached the air base three or four hundred meters, Lin Qing was still flying slowly in mid-air, without worrying that he had entered the military restricted area.
According to Lin Qing's understanding of the Philippine army, the radars used by civil aviation in the Philippines are better than those used by the military, and the civil aviation radar is purchased by Philippine Airlines at its own expense, using the satellites of the American GPS company (GPS is an American company).
The Philippine military, which is impoverished by dogs, has no money to buy satellites, and can only use some old-fashioned radars, some of which are from the fifties and sixties of the last century, and they are not working from time to time, as long as Lin Qing does not fly into his detection range, even if he flies past the back of it, he will not be able to find it.
The Philippine government has not purchased the kind of small-scale radar that Lin Qing encountered in Port Said before, and it cannot produce it independently, so the defense of this Barcelona air base is like a fictitious thing for Lin Qing.
However, this is also bullying the incompetence of the Philippines, if it is an air base in the United States, or any American air force base in the world, Lin Qing does not dare to fly like this at all, after all, the Yankee's radar is 360 degrees without dead angles, high frequency, high accuracy, high discrimination, and can distinguish between a person or a bird or a drone.
Lin Qing's previous trip to Japan to blow up the US military base was also a fluke, and the Japanese had not yet agreed to the Americans to deploy an advanced radar system at their doorstep.
If it was in the era in which Lin Qing lived, in the next few years, after the Americans deployed the Sea Giant Eye SBX-1 (sea-based X-band radar) in Japan, Lin Qing would not have any possibility of breaking through at low altitude, and he would have completely used the Americans as a target.
After flying over the guardrail barrier on the periphery of the Barcelona Air Base, Lin Qing slowly landed on the dark side of a building at the Barcelona Air Base in the Philippines, secretly observing the current situation of the Barcelona Air Base.
When Lin Qing entered the air base, he found that the busy crowd he saw in the air before was not the ground staff of the airport at all, he thought that the Barcelona air base was refueling the plane, loading bombs, and preparing to attack Palawan, but when he got closer, he realized that it was one or two white people with a dozen Filipinos gathered in front of the F16 fighter jet and was explaining something.
Even though it was late at night, a large part of the Filipino pilots at the Barcelona Air Base gathered in the multi-purpose media classroom to learn knowledge, and some of them were following the British on the tarmac to understand the structure of the plane. (To be continued.) )
