Chapter 393: Landing the Invincible

When he first flew the fighter, there was still a trace of excitement, but now, when he began to see the aircraft carrier, Nathan was already extremely calm, at this time, his heartbeat was the same as usual, and his breathing was very steady.

Accurately enter the glide course.

In three-dimensional space, how can you know if your glide line is correct? Of course, it's the Fresnel lens, when you see any light, what action does it do, for Nathan, it's already a conditioned reflex, and at the same time, if you do it properly, you can only see the orange beam, like now.

Although the deck of that aircraft carrier is too small, for Nathan, the size actually doesn't matter, in the sky, no matter how big the aircraft carrier is, it is a small sampan.

Now, the aircraft carrier is gradually getting bigger in his field of vision, and he is gradually getting bigger in the field of vision of the aircraft carrier.

"Lone ranger, the glide line is very standard." The voice of the landing guide was constantly heard in the headphones, and Ensign Clive was quite impressed.

Any pilot, while carrying out the landing, can have accidents, but with Major Nathan, there are no accidents.

This was a simulated landing, so Major Nathan didn't put the landing gear, and in the sky, the Tomcat fighter could be seen, swaying and falling towards this side.

That's right, it's swaying, due to design problems, the Tomcat fighter is in the process of landing on the aircraft carrier, and it must be adjusted in a big way, either not moving, or moving or slamming suddenly, as if it was drunk, but looking at the plane's leisurely stroll down, you know that although it is shaking, it is quite stable.

On the bridge, everyone was also looking at this Tomcat fighter, only to see that it was getting bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and then, the fuselage was almost about to collide with the aircraft carrier!

"Perfect, go-around!" Second Lieutenant Clive shouted.

This action is quite standard, the Tomcat fighter is almost only more than a meter high from the deck of the aircraft carrier, which under normal circumstances, the landing gear has already smashed to the deck.

That's right, the landing of carrier-based aircraft on an aircraft carrier has a high sinking rate, and every time it lands, it is smashed up.

Nathan pulled the operating stick, and the Tomcat fighter flew over the deck of the aircraft carrier at an ultra-low altitude, and when it passed through the middle of the warship, the commanders on the bridge all opened their eyes wide and looked at it with envy, this technology is amazing!

The two TF41 engines in the tail let out a roar, which was deafening, and the entire bridge was extremely shocked.

"Even if the Invincible can only carry five Tomcats, we want it!" The captain of the Invincible couldn't help but exclaim, yes, it was needed!

What is a sea harrier in comparison? It's just a lame, right? It's useless at all.

"The posture is normal, please enter a second time." Second Lieutenant Clive shouted over the radio.

"The Lone Ranger asks for a direct landing." Just then, Nathan spoke.

Originally, it would have taken four simulations to land, but just now Nathan's first descent has been fully assured, and three more simulations will be purely redundant, so it is better to land the ship directly!

It was Nathan's request, and this request was seriously discussed by the people on the bridge for several minutes.

"Believe in Major Nathan's technique, and since he asks for landing, then approve it." Maj. Gen. Woodward said.

"Lone ranger, you can land, please get ready, put the landing gear." Second Lieutenant Clive shouted, "Attention, please put the landing gear." ”

"Roger." Nathan shouted over the radio, then pressed the button.

The landing gear was easily released from the belly of the aircraft under the action of the hydraulic rod, and after Nathan made three turns, he aimed at the aircraft carrier again.

Little Invincible, I'm coming!

"The posture is normal, pay attention to it."

"It's five hundred meters away."

"It's a hundred meters away."

Second Lieutenant Clive was a little nervous, he looked at the Tomcat, before it was about to land, the fuselage was still a little tilted, and then, the Tomcat had just straightened its wings, the main landing gear, and smashed it hard.

At the moment when the wheels smashed up, the shock absorbers almost retracted thirty centimeters, and then the Tomcat began to slide forward, and the tail landing hook slid forward on the deck of the aircraft carrier.

Then, it hooked the second blocking cable perfectly, the blocking cable was straightened, and the Tomcat began to slow down violently, and when the blocking cable was stretched to the longest and became an equilateral triangle, the Tomcat stopped.

At this time, it took less than seventy meters!

"It's so beautiful!"

"Let's go, go down and have a look!" Woodward was quite excited, looking at the carrier-based aircraft that landed on the Invincible, this aircraft carrier was the first carrier-based aircraft to land since the sea trials, and it was directly a Tomcat!

According to the plan, after the Tomcat fighter comes down, it needs to be routinely inspected by the deck staff, and only after there are no problems will it be ready to take off.

By this time, Nathan had turned off the engine, and a tractor on deck towed the Tomcat to the parking area at the rear of the bridge.

This parking area is particularly cramped.

Nathan had planned to wait on the plane, and it wouldn't be long, but a group of people had already come over excitedly, and a few reporters, holding cameras, clicked and snapped.

"Major Nathan, how are you feeling?" Clive also ran over and asked Nathan.

"I think with my skills, it's okay to land, and I'm sure our British counterparts will be okay too." Nathan said.

Although the deck is a little smaller, it is still certain to land, don't look at the large deck of the American aircraft carrier, isn't there only a small area that can land? It was pretty much the same as it is now.

Woodard and others, standing outside the Tomcat fighter, their eyes were full of envy, Nathan knew what they were thinking, this plane, that belongs to the US Navy, flew over by himself, after completing the test flight mission, he still has to fly back, as for the plane ordered by the United Kingdom, it will not be delivered later, don't fight the idea of this plane!

However, if the British order the Tomcat, it will definitely need more pilots, and perhaps, there are already a large number of British cadets at Miramar Air Station, right?

The inspectors on the deck, all from the United States, made sure that the entire plane was in normal condition after a quick inspection, and the take-off began again.

The American aircraft carrier is a catapult, and during takeoff, the pilot hardly needs any action, just turn the two engines to the maximum power, and then wait.

But on the Invincible, it was different, and for Nathan, it was also the first time that he had taken off in a sliding jump!
