Chapter 145: Air Raid on America

This helicopter looks quite big, in fact, the interior is not as big as Pavey's car, there are only two rows of seats in the front and back, the front two seats are all drivers, and the back row is reserved for tourists. In fact, it was best for him not to get on the plane at all, Hong Tao was very worried about whether his weight would affect the normal flight of the helicopter.

It feels very strange for the three big men to travel together, from the start of the helicopter to the take-off, the three people in the back seat are expressionless, old Gail and Pavey are both from the navy, and they are also senior officers on the warship, it is estimated that they are already familiar with the helicopter, so they are expressionless.

And Hong Tao was riding this legendary thing for the first time in his life, although his little heart was about to jump out of his mouth with excitement, but he still had to act as if nothing happened, learn Pavey's movements step by step, buckle the seat belt, and then put on the radio headset, and sit there stupidly waiting for takeoff, neither cheering nor jumping, which is really boring. At this time, Hong Tao missed Zhou Xiaoli a little, if she was there, she would definitely shout, and it would not arouse the contempt of the two old men.

Helicopters are really not a fun thing, since the engine starts, Hong Tao feels like a drill wall that hits his head, the noise is very loud, and if you don't wear headphones, you will be noisy. When the plane takes off, the whole plane is like a thumping car, flickering left and right, up and down, flickering, and the feeling is completely different from the imagination.

It's not very comfortable to sit on, but there's no denying that taking a helicopter to see the view, especially on a larger scale like Niagara Falls, is a great option.

After the helicopter took off, it flew from north to south, along the Niagara River, and in a few minutes it was over the falls, and it began to circle and hover. At this time, Niagara Falls is completely displayed in front of Hong Tao's eyes, and the waterfall farthest away from the plane is the largest, it is at the bend of the river, like a horseshoe shape, so it is called Horseshoe Falls.

There are also 2 waterfalls on the left side of the plane, which are not as large as Horseshoe Falls, one is called American Falls and the other is called Bridal Veil. As for why it is called this name, Hong Tao also asked the pilot sitting in the co-pilot, and his explanation was that the American Falls is called the American Falls because it is located in the United States, and the reason for the bridal veil is that it often travels in the water when the water is large, so that people can't see its full picture, as if the bride is wearing a veil. But now the bride is very friendly to Hong Tao, and she will remove the veil as soon as they meet, so that you can see enough.

Spectacular and magical! Hong Tao circled the waterfall 2 times in the helicopter, just two words in his head, this waterfall group is indeed quite spectacular, not how big the drop is, but the span of the waterfall is very large, 3 waterfalls cut off the entire Niagara River, visual inspection of more than a kilometer distance.

According to Gale Sr., Canadians refer to Horseshoe Falls as Canadian Falls, and American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls collectively as American Falls, and the border between Canada and the United States is crossed in the middle of the Niagara River, with Canada to the west and the United States to the east.

However, the United States, which likes to take advantage of the whole world, does not know why the road suffered a big loss in the planning of the waterfall, not only the largest waterfall to Canada, but also the best viewing position to Canada, because the United States side can basically not see the whole picture of this waterfall group, only on the Canadian side can you see the whole territory, what is even more annoying is that the Canadian government will use a colored searchlight every night to illuminate the waterfall in several colors, and tourists on the American side, Not only could you not see the colorful waterfall, but you also had to be harassed by the direct rays of searchlights, which was unspeakably miserable.

Every time it comes to making Americans deflated, Pavey and old Gail will be happy from the bottom of their hearts, even the two Canadian pilots are also smirking, if Hong Tao is not sure that he is coming to Canada, is the little brother of the United States, just looking at the expression of these 4 pieces of material on the plane, he must think that they are the most loyal believers, hate the old beauty to the bones, and can't be called hate, they can't look at each other, the distance is very applicable here, the two countries are too close, every day the eyes are wide and small, and there is love and slowly grinds into sorrow.

The helicopter flew on the waterfall for more than 10 minutes in total, and Hong Tao had nothing to do except take pictures, and there was no one on the viewing platforms on both sides, which was unusually deserted. After rounding the last lap of the last round, the main pilot announced that he was going to return home, and then he turned around and muttered a few words to Pavey, and said to Hong Tao with a wicked smile that he wanted to surprise his friend from afar, and then flew back in a helicopter.

Hong Tao thought he was going to do some stunt, so he quickly grabbed the handrail above and fixed his body. But after waiting for a long time, the helicopter did not make any moves.

"Pavey, what about the surprise he said?" Seeing that he was about to land, Hong Tao couldn't help but remind Pavey that these foreigners are very cute, that is, what we call straightness, if you don't say it, he will definitely not observe words or anything.

"Don't you see? Oh, it's a pity......" Listening to Hong Tao's question, Pa Wei was stunned for a moment, and then hugged his big head with great regret.

"See what?" Hong Tao recalled it carefully, and made sure that nothing happened when he returned! Asked Old Gale with a look.

"You have entered the United States just now, although the time is very short, but theoretically speaking, you entered the United States for a short time, and then ran back, which is considered to be smuggling twice!" Old Gale held out two fingers and pointed to the Niagara River.

"......" Hong Tao was completely speechless, he now understands that the pilot just now must have deviated the plane from the course and entered the airspace of the United States, anyway, the border between the two countries is in the middle of the river, and he will go abroad if he flies a little crookedly, but these Canadian pilots are not afraid that the United States will shoot down the plane with anti-aircraft missiles, and even if they don't fight, will they protest to Canada through diplomatic channels or something?

"Don't worry, Tao, their ships also often cross borders, it's okay, the only pity is that you can't get an entry stamp in your passport, so just take it as a joke." Pa Wei thought that Hong Tao was worried about something, and took the initiative to comfort Hong Tao.

"This is my friend and neighbor, Harrison. Harrison, this is my new friend Tao, he beat me at my doorstep, caught almost all the fish in our house, and didn't tell me his tricks, so you must help me get my revenge, although you are in the Army, you should also be with me. Pavi pulled Hong Tao with one hand and the driver with the other, introducing the two of them to each other, and then pulling hatred by the way.

"Hello lad." The pilot shook hands with Hong Tao and took off his helmet, and then Hong Tao saw that he was not too young, listening to Pavey's meaning, this should have served in the Canadian Army before, maybe he was a pilot.

"Hello, Xie Lu, thank you for helping me smuggle into the United States once, and I will definitely come to you when I need it in the future." Hong Tao has gradually figured out the temper of these Canadians these days, they are a bit like Chinese men who have drunk too much, making friends with the first glance and the first sentence, looking at the eyes and listening to the ears, you can drink a glass of wine immediately, looking awkward and listening to the heart, if you don't get it right, you have to lift the table, so when you meet them for the first time, you have to be natural, rather joking and transitioning, and don't like to talk.

"Oh, your suggestion is very good, let's go have a drink first, and then plan how to invade the United States, Pavey, wait for me in a moment, I'll go change clothes." This Harrison is also crazy personally, and when he heard someone praise him for his cross-border flying feat, he immediately laughed, slapped Hong Tao, and ran away.

"Let's go, let's wait for him in the car, this guy can't catch me, but he is very good at hunting, it's not surprising, after all, he is in the army, and he is better at things on land." Pavi pulled Hongtao towards the parking lot.
