Chapter 55: Mistakes
USSR, Primorsky Krai.
The warm sea breeze blows from the Pacific Ocean, the dense forests everywhere, and the air is extremely fresh.
This is the most tense zone in the Far East, a few dozen kilometers away from the Sea of Japan and across from the island nation of Hokkaido, which was the focus of confrontation between the two sides during the Cold War, as in Germany.
Therefore, there is also a fairly large Soviet army here, and the southern part of Primorye is the main port city of Vladivostok in the Soviet Far East, which is an excellent port and is stationed the main force of the Soviet Far East Navy, the Pacific Fleet.
The Sokolovka base in the northern town of Qiuguevka is home to the 513th Regiment of the Soviet Territorial Defense Force, all of which are the latest Soviet MiG-25 interceptors.
"Report." On this very day, a voice came from outside the office of the base commander.
"Come in."
The commander of the base, Kozhdub Douglaev, looked up at a young man and walked into his office.
"Lieutenant Andrey of the Territorial Defense Forces, came to report." Andrei Vladimirvich Tolstoy, walked in, wearing a brand new uniform of the Territorial Defense Forces, the armband on which had been replaced with the emblem of the Far Eastern Military District.
Last time, he completed the task of intercepting and expelling enemy aircraft, and after that, suddenly, he received an order, and he submitted several reports on the change of flight, which had not been approved, and actually came down!
He will go to fly the most advanced MiG-25 fighters! After receiving the news, he immediately left for Moscow, where he underwent a modification at the aviation school, and after completing the modification training, he was assigned to the Far Eastern Military District.
From then on, he could finally fly the most powerful fighter of the Soviet Union!
"Well, Andrey, I have received your order, and I have arranged for Captain Belenko to take you. You just changed to flying, and many movements are not proficient, so you have to learn more from the long plane! Kozhidub said.
"Understood." Andrei saluted again, then turned to leave, and as he walked out of the office, he could see the rows of silver warplanes on the tarmac.
MiG-25, I'm coming! Andrei called out in his heart.
……
"Don't worry, what's the problem?" Steve said, "Nathan, I believe in your technique, isn't it just a tailspin?" Let's go, show off your best skills and show them! ”
"Wait, Steve, this camera, it must be protected." Mouse, the chief photographer of the entire film crew, said: "If the film breaks, then pull it away, continue to take pictures, and listen to me on the radio." ”
In the air, when the fighter maneuvered with high overload, the film would break because it could not withstand the tension, and in the previous shooting, this was already an unsolvable problem, and the only way to do it was to pull out the broken place and start again.
The cockpit canopy was closed, and the Alpha camera, which had taken off in advance, filmed the Tomcat fighter taking off again, and at the same time, another A-4, which was responsible for shooting, had already rushed to the shooting airspace in advance.
For safety, they were all filmed over the Pacific Ocean, and an airspace was specially demarcated for them.
Soon, Nathan flew in.
"Attention, oil."
With the sound inside the headphones, Nathan pressed the fuel drain switch, and in an instant, countless fuel poured down from the plane, which was simply a waste!
Even if it is included in the training cost of the Navy, this is quite extravagant, all this is just for the effect.
Yes, when the fuel is released into the air, it immediately volatilizes into a fog, and when the Tomcat fighter is in flight, these fog-like fuels successfully render the trajectory of the aircraft, and the shooting effect is quite good.
"Eight thousand in height, into tailspin."
As long as you pay attention to the flight envelope, you can prevent entering the tail spin, after all, the first condition for the tail spin is stall, and for Nathan, who is skilled in operating the fighter, it is even easier to enter the tail spin.
The engine on the right turns on the afterburner, and the slow train on the left turns the plane around! Then pull the lever, artificially causing one wing to stall, three times five divided by two, and the tomcat enters a terrible tailspin.
"Pretty, pretty!" On the Alpha camera, looking at his own lens firmly captures the plane, even if it spins, rolls and falls, it is quite beautiful.
The shooting of the lens is simply perfect!
The two planes in charge of filming swooped down with Nathan's tailspin plane, and their altitude was rapidly dropping.
"Okay, done, you can change it."
In just a few tail spins, it has already dropped from a height of 8,000 meters to 3,000 meters, leaving more than enough time to change out.
The big man was piloting an F-8 fighter jet, watching from a distance, his brows were already furrowed: "Eaglet, change out, change it out quickly!" ”
Nathan flew more than once with a tailspin, this kind of action should be in his control, why didn't he change it? What's going on?
Changing out is to push the operating stick in the opposite direction, kick the rudder, restore the power, and the fighter can be changed, and now, the two people in the fighter are spinning, and there may be a mistake in judgment, that is, they are dizzy, and they don't know which way to turn, which is the most dangerous situation.
Pushing the joystick, the hunk swooped down, and he wanted to see what was going on, even if it was breaking into the camera's lens.
"What's the matter?" At this time, inside the Tomcat fighter, Nathan was overloaded with a tailspin and asked, "It's two meters high, isn't it okay?" ”
He asked, glancing at the dashboard in front of him out of the corner of his eye, and was immediately startled: "Steve, you turned off the radio?" ”
At this time, Steve is using all his strength, holding the camera to shoot around, the world is spinning, and his shooting this time will be great!
Hearing Nathan's words, Steve lowered his head, and was stunned for a moment, no, the camera's lanyard was actually hooked on the radio knob!
Steve reached out with his left hand and tried to turn the knob back on, but he forgot the weight of the camera, which was several times heavier than usual under the overload.
With just his right hand, he couldn't hold it steadily, so the camera fell, and Steve quickly caught it with his left hand, as if he had caught it! Then he pulls upwards.
At that moment, he felt a fire rise from under his buttocks.
Worst!
