The two American pilots, wearing high-altitude compensatory suits, were already sitting in the cockpit, and this was the fifth day that the Blackbird reconnaissance plane had gone on a mission. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few months ago, the United States has been at a disadvantage after its EP-3 collided with a Soviet MiG-25 fighter and then made a forced landing at a Soviet base.

This is simply intolerable for the United States, the commander of the United States in the island country is furious, and the MiG-25 of the Soviets has become the biggest threat to the United States!

What does the MiG-25 have? Isn't it just that it can fly to three times the speed of sound? Such aircraft, the United States also has them! The American Blackbird is the crystallization of the advanced aviation industry in the United States!

So, the Blackbird reconnaissance plane was sent out to conduct reconnaissance activities in the skies over the Soviet Union! At the same time, it was also to reconnoiter the Soviet military bases in the Far East and to determine where the EP-3 was hidden by the Soviets.

Until now, the Americans still have the EP-3 in their minds, hoping to get this plane back, they don't know that this plane has been completely dismantled by the Soviet Union and can no longer be installed, and the Soviets are completely planning to pay their debts.

From Okinawa to the north, through the Korean Peninsula, straight to Vladivostok, to reconnoiter the Soviets' Pacific Fleet, and then north, reconnoiter several air bases along the way, and after reaching Komsomolsk in Amur, turn back to the east and return from the skies over Sakhalin! The Soviets scouted the main military industry and military bases in the Far East!

At the same time, this is also a demonstration against the USSR! I remembered that a few days ago, the Soviets' MiG-25 still wanted to attack their own Blackbirds, and the pilots were still a little scared, for fear that those missiles would shoot down themselves, but the missiles flew away when they were still far away, and the Soviets' missiles were the same as their earlier models of Sparrow missiles, like uncontrolled rockets!

The huge auxiliary power supply car was in place, and at the end of the runway, it began to energize the engine, turn on various switches, and with the roar, the two J-58 engines in the tail began to start, and in the deafening roar, a blazing flame came out of the tail.

The various gauges showed normal, and Olmst took a deep breath.

"Kadena, Kadena, Blackbird asks to take off." Olmsted turned on the radio and reported to the tower.

"The Blackbird can take off, the babysitter is already in place." The command from the tower came from the headset.

With his left hand, he gently pulled the lever back, and the roar of the tail became even louder, and he released the brakes, and in the blazing tail flames, the huge body of the blackbird slid down the track.

At the end of the runway, the blackbird pulled up, the huge fuselage, spread its wings and flew into the sky.

Although it is an aircraft that can fly up to Mach 3 like the MiG-25, the Blackbird, which is made of titanium alloy throughout, actually has quite poor flight performance, especially the strength of the body, which led to the Blackbird, which was originally intended to be used as a bomber, has only become a reconnaissance type carrying various reconnaissance devices, its anti-overload ability is quite weak, and the maneuverability is ridiculously poor, just like the ******U-2.

Climbing up with a small elevation angle, Blackbird began to make its way to the fixed airspace of the 13th, where it joined the nanny.

"The blackbird calls the babysitter, and the blackbird calls the babysitter." Olmsted shouted over the radio.

"The height is nine thousand, the speed is seven hundred, and the nanny is in place in airspace 13." A familiar voice came through the headphones.

"Blackbird received." Olmsted skillfully flew along the course, and when he climbed to nine thousand meters, he leveled the fuselage, and in front, he already saw the KC-135 air tanker with visual sights.

Due to the oil leakage on the ground, the Blackbird generally only fills a small amount of fuel when taking off, and only after takeoff, it will be refueled in the air.

When the Blackbird flies at high speed in the air, the temperature of the airframe will be as high as several hundred degrees, and there will be natural risks to general aviation fuel, so the Skunk Factory has developed a special JP-7 fuel, which has a very high flash point to avoid spontaneous combustion at high temperatures, and also contains fluorocarbons to increase lubricity, and there are oxidants to make it easy to burn, and there is even a formula of cesium to camouflage the radar signal of the exhaust gas. At the same time, this fuel is extremely expensive, and the cost of fuel for the SR-71 is as high as 30,000 dollars per hour.

Moreover, this kind of fuel also needs a special tanker to refuel, and this airborne nanny is specially for the Blackbird.

Olmst operated the huge Blackbird, slowly leaning in, the gas port on the upper part of the Blackbird was exposed, and another babysitting service began.

In the tail of the KC-135 air tanker, the refueler carefully operated the handle, and the observation window below could see that the long refueling pipe was getting closer and closer to the refueling port on the back of the Blackbird, and then, with the gentle contact, the refueling pipe was docked and sealed and pressurized.

“ok。” The refueler shouted over the radio, "Come on." ”

Other countries' air refueling is all hose-based, slow refueling, and at the same time requires the superb cooperation of the pilots of the tankers, while the US Air Force is hard-tube refueling, and the pilots of the tankers only need to maintain a certain altitude, speed and course, and the rest is handled by the tankers.

A steady stream of fuel flowed into the Blackbird's tank, and soon, the refueling was completed and the steering was disengaged.

There are still a few drops of residual fuel on the blackbird's back, and there is also fuel leaking out of the gaps in the body, and every time the flight comes back, the body is almost dirty.

Alright, start accelerating! Olmsted skillfully turned on the afterburner of both engines.

The official flight of the Blackbird has begun!

As the speed increased, the front end of the blackbird, a white mist appeared, which was a precursor to the sonic boom, the white mist became more and more, and finally became a sharp cone, in a short sound, the tip of the blackbird, has pierced these white mist, a cone-shaped white sonic boom cloud, with the blackbird forward.

Accelerate, keep accelerating!

The two J-58 engines were working at full speed, getting faster and faster, and the air intake cone at the front of the engine began to gradually move backwards, and the huge air intake cone at the time of takeoff gradually retracted into the air intake.

The speed continued to increase, and the altitude continued to increase, and at this time, it had already flown over South Korea.

The height is 20,004, the speed is Mach 3.2, aimed at the Soviet Primorye!

The air intake cone is all retracted into the air intake, and the J-58 engine at this time has completely turned into a ramjet engine, and the air flow passing through the air intake directly enters the afterburner behind the engine, and the combustion sprays a hot wake.

At the front of the nose, the temperature is as high as hundreds of degrees, the skin on the outside of the entire fuselage has become smooth, and all the oil leaks have been tightly combined, but outside the fuselage, a large sonic boom cloud has been followed.
