As a pilot, you must have the ability to adapt to different situations and choose different operations according to different states.

Just now, Nathan made a deceleration move, which was a maneuver made by combining the height and speed of both sides, and now, the owl in front actually wanted to do the same, using the deceleration to avoid Nathan's lock.

But he forgot that Nathan was on the same plane as him. Moreover, now the distance between them is also quite close, close enough to open fire with a machine gun, and this is within five hundred meters!

At this distance, the fighter in front suddenly became larger, indicating that the other party was also slowing down, leaving Nathan with quite little reaction time, and what was even more terrifying was that the speed of the two fighters was not fast now.

In a stable circle, the aircraft will experience huge air resistance, and the speed will decrease quickly, and speed means energy, which means maneuvering, and if the speed is small, the mobility will be poor.

And now, the plane in front of him actually had to slow down, this time, Nathan felt that every hair on his body was about to stand up, he watched the plane occupy his retina, but he could only use all his strength to push his operating stick to the far right.

Nathan's Tomcat fighter, the fuselage turned ninety degrees around the axis, and the wings became vertical, so as to minimize the chance of collision between the two sides, and in this short moment, Nathan could only rely on instinct to save the fighter.

"Click!" The two Tomcat fighters still did not dodge, and in the roar of the engines, Nathan could clearly hear the sound of the wings colliding and breaking, and Steve in the back seat shouted loudly: "The right wing is broken!" ”

If you look at it from a distance, Nathan's fighter plane flips ninety degrees, and the Tomcat flying in front of it is exactly wing-to-wing, and Nathan's right wing scrapes the wingtip of the opponent's right wing.

The owl's fighter, the wingtips were scraped off a third, and Nathan's was even more terrible, at least half of the wings were broken!

The wing of the aircraft is used to generate lift, when the wing is broken, the two sides will be unbalanced, in this case, the plane will definitely roll down and fall, one side of the complete wing will deviate upward because of the large lift, and the whole aircraft will be completely out of balance, absolutely hopeless!

Steve felt nervous when he saw half of the wing fall, but he knew he had to trust Nathan now.

"Skydiving?" Steve asked.

"No, I'll hold the plane!" Nathan shouted, his fingers flicking quickly over one side of the control panel, and the wings began to turn backwards in unison on both sides of the fuselage.

Maximum sweep angle!

The plane rolls, mainly because of the unbalanced torque, and adjusting the wing to the rearmost can reduce the length of the force arm and reduce the effect of the torque, which is the first step to save the plane!

At the same time, the operation of the plane began to become difficult, and just as it was being adjusted, Nathan pulled the lever vigorously to flip the plane over, and at the same time, turned on the afterburner.

In order to maintain the stability of the aircraft, it is necessary to increase the lift, and if the wings are broken, the lift will be reduced, so it is necessary to increase the speed and increase the power output!

"Huh!" Nearby, when they found that their wings had been cut off, the owl crew did not hesitate, and they immediately pulled the ejection handle.

The radar officer in the back ejected first, and the pilot in front ejected later, and below was the sea, and the likelihood of them being injured was greatly reduced.

When the parachute of the two men opened, the owl opened his eyes and looked at his feet, where the huge tomcat was falling into the water, and when he looked into the distance, he saw another tomcat fighter struggling to return home.

Immediately, he was completely convinced, and he lost to Nathan, and he was convinced.

If he was asked to choose again, he would still parachute without hesitation, and in the values of US Navy pilots, the life of a pilot is always the most precious, and the equipment can be reproduced if it is gone, and the people are gone.

Nathan didn't think so.

As long as there is a chance, I will not give up saving the plane! It's a pilot's responsibility!

Of course, he knew the weight, but when he flew the Tomcat fighter, this cold machine, as if it had life, flew with Nathan, cheering, if he dropped it, Nathan couldn't bear it.

Moreover, Nathan, who came from later generations, knew that many impossibilities would eventually become possible, and there were F-15 fighters in the Israeli Air Force who were knocked off the entire right wing, and they flew back by half of the left wing.

As for the F-14, there have also been incidents in history of crashing off wings. The wide wing box part of this fighter can provide a certain amount of lift, plus it has only lost half of its wing, so it will definitely be able to fly back!

This fighter is like an old friend, Nathan will not give up until he has to, and at the same time, there is sea water below, and it is no problem to parachute at the last moment, he does not have much pressure.

At this moment, all the noise suddenly disappeared from the radio, and between heaven and earth, it seemed that Nathan and his fighter plane were left.

"Eaglet, report status." A call from the Mirama base came from the headset.

"Half of the right wing has been broken, and I'm currently on my way back, one hundred and fifty nautical miles from base." Nathan called over the radio: "The plane is in stable condition at the moment. ”

Although this era is not as advanced as the information technology of later generations, when the ejection tab is pulled, the ejection seat will start the emergency procedure and automatically send out a distress signal.

The Mirama base received this signal, and at the same time, on the radar screen, the Owl's Tomcat fighter disappeared, and immediately they prepared for the worst.

And now, the sound of the radio made everyone's head sweat.

What the? Broken half of the wing?

Lieutenant Colonel Mark snatched the intercom: "Nathan, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Mark." ”

Lieutenant Colonel Mark didn't even shout the radio codename, and just called his name: "Are you sure you can fly back?" Do I need to skydive? ”

Airplanes are precious, but they are nothing compared to pilots.

As for why there was a collision and whose responsibility it is, this is all a matter of later, and now it is necessary to ensure the safety of people first!

"Oh, God." At this moment, Steve in the back let out an exclamation.

PS: This plot is from a real scene. On June 29, 1991, F-14A fighters of the VF-213 "Black Lion" squadron, numbered "NH 205", collided with the squadron's F-14A, numbered "NH 201", in mid-air. NH 201 crashed into the sea, and the crew successfully ejected and rescued; The crew of NH 205 managed to land with a loss of 9.5 feet on its right wing. Although the loss of the wing of this NH 205 was not as complete as that of the Israeli F-15, and there was still a little left, the situation at that time was really a critical one.
