There was no reaction, there was still no reaction under the pylon, and the immortal bird, which stayed firmly on the belly, had become the most unstable factor.

"Looks like we'll have to fly back with it." Rick said.

"No, it's dangerous." Jackson said, "You try, do a big overload maneuver and see if you can shake it off." ”

When there is a malfunction of the aircraft, such as the landing gear cannot be put down, in this case, it is necessary to perform a large overload maneuver, so that the landing gear is shaken down under a violent overload, which is effective.

However, Jackson, who did not wear anti-load clothing at this time, was sad.

At that time, the time was very tight, and Rick did not give Jackson time to wear an anti-load suit, in fact, fundamentally, it was because Jackson got into the C-130 in the process of long-distance flight for comfort, and if he flew all the way, Jackson was in the rear cabin, and he must have been fully equipped at this time.

After all, at this time, the safety of two people and this plane is at stake, and if it is ejected and escaped just because of this immortal bird missile, it is completely inconsistent with the regulations.

Rick turned on the afterburner and pushed the lever forward, and the fighter began to dive downwards with a whistling, and when the speed almost exceeded the speed of sound, it slammed up and made a 5G overload maneuver.

Jackson felt a tumult in his stomach, and all the compressed biscuits he had eaten on the C-130 transport plane came out of his mouth, and his head was facing the sky at the time, and as a result, he vomited a whole lid.

Jackson didn't care about his own ugliness at all, looking at the display, the missiles were still there!

Peshawar.

There was silence in the command tower, when the news of the downing of the MiG-25 came. They are excited, cheering, and the combination of Tomcat fighters and immortal birds can fully protect the skies of Pakistan.

However, a little later came a mechanical failure, the missile that did not go out. Tormenting Rick and Jackson.

Arslan's hand gripped the radio talkie tightly, trying to command, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Why don't you order them to skydive?" Mhammad said. Mhammad is also aware of the risk of landing with a bomb, and at this time, the missile will be accidentally launched at any time, causing danger.

"No, it's not time to skydive." The elder Arslan said, although it was his son who flew the fighter plane above. However, he is the commander of the base, and he must think about the big picture, and the risk is not enough to parachute to save the pilot's life.

After several large overload maneuvers in a row, the missile was still hanging on the pylon, and Rick knew that he had no choice.

"Peshawar. The eagle requests to land with a bomb. Rick said over the radio.

"Roger, maintain normal sailing attitude." Old Arslan said over the radio.

Sirens sounded again at the base. The fighters on the tarmac were quickly pulled away and entered the cave, which was to prevent the unintentional launch of the immortal bird missile when the fighters landed, which would harm these fighters.

Meantime. Fire trucks, ambulances, on standby at the end of the runway.

The Tomcat that had just taken out the MiG-25 had a mechanical failure, so be sure to keep them safe! The ground crews were waiting for the battle, looking forward to the sky.

in the sky. The eagle had spread its wings and flown back.

"Jackson, when do you think it's going to ignite?" Rick said to Jackson in the rear cabin.

"I don't know, maybe we can wait until we land." Jackson said he had just vomited the contents of his stomach and felt much better.

The horizon was rapidly approaching, the runway was already in sight, and Rick knew it was time to test himself.

Just in the sky, such a big overload, although it did not shake the missile down, it is likely to have made it crumbling, when landing, the vibration of the landing gear contact with the ground, is the last time to induce it, if at the moment of grounding, the missile falls, it just explodes under the fuselage, and its own fighter will become a fireball.

It had to be light, as light as stroking a pet's hair, and Rick slowly pulled the lever back, gently downwards and down again in a graceful arc.

"Squeak." The main landing gear made a soft sound, made steady contact with the ground, and continued to glide for dozens of meters before the landing gear in front was lowered.

There was still no reaction from the belly, and Rick finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The parachute had already been released when it landed for the first time, and this emergency take-off did not put a new parachute in, so now there was no parachute at the tail, and Rick could only rely on taxiing while gently braking the wheels to slow down.

It was a long time, almost like a century had passed, and finally, the Tomcat came to a gentle stop at the end of the runway.

The ground crew quickly came up and put the ladder up.

The hatch opened, and Rick quickly climbed down from it.

Jackson looked at the cockpit being spit up by himself, and shook his head helplessly, according to the unwritten rule, whoever vomited had to clean it up.

Now, to deal with the Immortal Bird missile, Jackson climbed down the ladder and watched as several Pakistani ground crews came up.

The fighter plane has landed smoothly, the danger of the pilot has been lifted, and the risk of the ground crew has just arrived.

Although it stands to reason that Pakistan's ground crews have not been systematically trained and should now be handled by American experts, at this dangerous time, the American experts immediately retreated, and they came on a business trip, not to send them to death.

The way the missile is mounted, it is much the same, the ground crew needs to take the missile off the belly first, they cautiously approached, while avoiding the front and tail of the missile, and studied it on the side, it turned out that a hook was malfunctioning.

A ground soldier picked up a sledgehammer and smashed the hook down, and then several people carried it and put the immortal bird down, in order to mount the immortal bird, there was a special cart, the height was just the same as the height of the belly, and it only needed to be loosened and put on the cart.

Come down, just push this damn missile out of the way, and get as far away from the plane as possible.

Several ground crew soldiers continued to push the car, left the plane, and had just walked more than 20 meters, when suddenly, the ground crew leader found a thick smoke coming out of the tail.

"Get out of here!" The ground crew leader shouted.

Several soldiers dodged one after another, only to see that the immortal bird missile, with the smoke from the tail, followed, the blazing flames were released, and the missile took the cart below, and instantly slid out of more than 100 meters, and then, the missile broke away from the cart and began to climb high.

The missile that flew away shocked everyone's eyes wide, and if it had been ignited a little earlier, it might have been a terrible accident.

According to the prior procedure, after climbing high, the Immortal Bird missile began to search for the target, but it could no longer be found, so it could only choose to self-detonate at the end of the flight.

There were no additional casualties, except for the burns of two ground crews who were closer.

Rick was also embarrassed, watching those Americans come forward, open the side cover of the front end of the fighter, and start testing, he couldn't help but feel a little disdainful, what did he just go?

"Report to the Chief of Staff, Report to the Commander, Eagle Rick successfully shot down a MiG-25 fighter!" When Rick saw that Mhammad and his father Arslan and others were coming, he immediately saluted, although this was not very standard.

"Rick the Eagle." Arslan said: "This time, you flew into the air and bravely shot down a MiG-25 fighter plane that invaded Pakistani airspace, and you did it once. ”

According to the rules, shooting down an enemy plane is a second-class merit, and old Arslan is not at all a back door for his son.

"However, this time you violated the rules of the base, and without completing the detection, you let the ground crew mount the missile and forcibly take off, and almost caused a serious flight accident, so you will be recorded again!"

This sentence is very harsh, and he will have a black spot on his resume for the rest of his life, and Rick was stunned for a moment.

"Commander, the situation was special at that time, if it wasn't for the rapid hanging of the bomb, then we would not be able to intercept this invading fighter, and we had to let it escape, you see, is this a bit heavy?" Mhammad said from the side.

"Nope." Old Arslan was serious: "These regulations of the Air Force are all exchanged for bloody lessons, and they must be strictly observed, otherwise, it may be the price of sacrifice." ”

Pre-takeoff inspection is essential, especially the weapon system, the old Arslan remembered that on the battlefield, when his wingman was using 127 mm rockets, due to the ground crew's hurried mounting, he did not check the integrity of the rocket, as a result, a rocket exploded in the rocket launch nest, directly blowing off half of the F-86's wing, and the fragments flew into the cockpit of the F-86, and the wingman pilot died on the spot.

It is not because the situation is urgent that these steps can be ignored, and when flying into the sky with an undetected immortal bird missile, it is equivalent to carrying a time bomb.

At that time, the old Arslan thought that the ground crew had hung up the missiles, but they had not been tested, which was a complete violation of safety regulations.

"Now go back to the war room and ask our American friends to explain to us the application of the Immortal Bird missile." Old Arslan said that he gave his son a big deal, but the Americans must not be offended, especially this time, it is mainly the Americans who control the Immortal Bird missile, and the other side must pass on these experiences to himself without reservation.

Hussein patted Rick on the shoulder, just now, Hussein didn't force the take-off, just because the missile detection wasted time, unlike Rick, Hussein is now old and load-bearing, but he appreciates Rick's aggressiveness just now.

"Rick, come on, you'll overtake me soon." Hussein said. (To be continued......)
