Chapter 797: Close-up Barrel Rolling

Seeing that Sarah's 22+07 "Hurricane" was approaching the enemy, Lieutenant Colonel Alvarez did not dare to slack off and hurriedly followed, he tried to persuade the obviously angry young lady on the radio, but was silenced by Sara after a few words:

"Major, Major, how about letting me deal with these two ALSA fighters? I'm more experienced—"

"Really? Lieutenant Colonel Alvarez, IMHO, I'm also experienced in this kind of thing; I've worked with all my colleagues in the wing in Toulouse, and I don't think you have more experience in maneuvering on the Hurricane than I do. ”

"Uh......"

was speechless by the major, looked at the ALSA fighter plane flying all the way in the sky below him, Raul Alvarez felt a little relieved, how did he think that these two F-15s did not look like they were going to take the initiative to provoke, and the pilots of ALSA have always been relatively restrained, so let Miss Sara come up and take a look?

In the war-torn Middle East, this is already the safest task, but the lieutenant colonel is still a little uneasy, so he pilots the fighter plane to follow slowly, ready to fire at any time when the enemy plane breaks out.

In this way, in the sunny clear sky, two groups of twin-engine heavy fighters approached each other and began to fly together.

However, unlike the usual training or friendly companion flights, ALSA and ECJA, two air powerhouses with very different positions, look at each other from completely different positions, of course, no one is convinced, and the scene of several fighters squeezing each other becomes very thrilling.

Having had enough verbal fights on the radio and no one could convince the other party, Li Gejian is now leading the course with the F-15E "Strike Eagle" with blue wings on a gray background. Maintain an unbreakable two-plane formation with the Red Star F-15C on a gray background on the rear flank. And on the side of the two gray fighters that flew all the way straight. Maintain a track spacing of less than 50 meters. The light white "Hurricane" fighter of the European Community Joint Air Force, with its outwardly tilted full-motion twin vertical tail fine-tuned from time to time to keep the fighter moving in the same direction as the target aircraft, and the flame of the tail nozzle was white and translucent, and it was obviously easily following the ALSA two-plane formation flight with ample thrust.

The course is the same, flying forward in formation, from the ground, you will think that this is a flight formation composed of four fighters, but in the narrow cockpit of the F-15E, Li Gejian can clearly feel the faint pressure of the ECJA fighter; To the right of him and his partner are two EC "Hurricanes". It seems that he is flying forward in a straight line, but he has been intermittently reducing the track distance, and if he and his wingman are inexperienced or a little less courageous, it is easy to be squeezed out of the original course step by step.

However, such a trick is not a problem for the ALSA partner with rich combat experience and excellent flying skills, the two "Eagles", which lag behind a lot in performance but are not bad at all, have always maintained the same course, and sometimes squeezed a little slope to the "Hurricane", and the two sides competed with each other for several rounds, but no one could do so.

Piloting the F-15C "Eagle" to follow the long plane closely and confront the uninvited guests in the sky, Gao Meiyu looked curiously at the "Hurricane" numbered 22+07 closest to their twin planes, he stared at the cockpit of the plane, peeking through the reflection of the hatch cover glass for a moment, but he couldn't see the specific situation of the pilot clearly. I don't know where the female pilot in the ECJA fleet is and whether there will be women in the Combine Army.

I'm thinking about it. Seeing that the 22+07 fighter plane that flew with him swayed left and right in place, and the belly flew to his side for a few seconds, Gao Meiyu remembered that they had often done this in the no-fly zone before, but the fourth-generation stealth fighters were all built-in weapons and couldn't see anything outside, so could this be regarded as a demonstration against the two of them?

Seeing the smooth belly and wings of the "Hurricane" fighter, as well as the faintly visible traces of the belly magazine and the edge of the landing gear, Gao Meiyu only felt angry and funny, although today's ECJA fighters were quite regular and did not do any dangerous actions, he still couldn't help but ridicule:

"Hey, old European air knights, is it fun to scare people with your belly bared like this? -- If you're happy, throw out the missiles and show us! ”

"Miu, what's going on?"

It was not the same as the ridiculous mentality of the wingman, Li Gejian, who was concentrating on maintaining the course and paying attention to the navigation beacon to avoid crossing the line, did not notice the scene just now, and he heard his partner's words on the radio, and felt very inexplicable.

However, just as the two were talking, the No. 22+07 "Hurricane", which had been flying on the right side of the F-15 twin plane, suddenly had a new movement, and I saw the light white sharp fighter wings flick, and then turned sideways into the continuous barrel roll with a radius small to the dangerous range; The combination of the aerodynamic surface and the engine vector makes the "Hurricane" fighter fly up and down in the sky with extraordinary agility, and circle around the ALSA twin aircraft route.

Seeing the ECJA fighter that entered the barrel rolling, the radius of the spiral track was less than 100 meters, and it was simply flying around itself, Rao is Li Gejian and Gao Meiyu, who had been in battle for a long time, were also shocked, this guy is really bold enough, isn't he afraid of a collision between the two sides!

If you want to say that the collision between fighters is naturally different from the traffic accident on the ground, the height control of the weight of the fighter will strive to avoid increasing unnecessary structural strength when designing and manufacturing, and it is impossible to make it too strong, then whoever collides with whom may have the consequences, or it depends entirely on luck; But now, the ECJA pilot still decided to do this, is it too reckless and does not think about the consequences?

Or is it that he has concluded that his opponent will not be excited, so he is here to show off his flying skills?

Suddenly, thinking of this stubble, seeing that the navigation information appeared and the landline was approaching the predetermined turning point, Gao Meiyu was still a little annoyed for a while, and he wanted to bring the rod into the barrel roll and have a thrilling aerial competition with the opponent; However, the so-called "close line between life and death", if you suddenly maneuver at such a close distance, it is likely that you will really collide with the opponent, which is too dangerous!

At this moment, a call from the long plane came from the headset:

"ECJA fighter, we have arrived at the scheduled return point, and it is expected to enter the turning route in thirty seconds, please pay attention to avoidance!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Gejian switched the channel and shouted to his partner, "Meiyu, pay attention to follow my movements, it's time for us to return, don't make mistakes." ”

"Understood, but—"

In reply, looking at the white "hurricane" that was still rolling in circles in the sky ahead, the two F-15s were like being in the eye of a typhoon, Gao Meiyu was still hesitating, but heard Li Gejian's reminder:

"That guy knows what to do, leave him alone, we'll get ready and go all the way!"

As a pilot, of course, he knew that the barrel roll should not last too long, otherwise it would be easy for the pilot to fall into a coma due to ischemia in his head, Li Gejian pulled the launch button on the side of the dashboard, and then shot a signal flare.

As the dazzling green fireworks exploded in the sky, and the call of the ALSA pilot was heard on the radio, Major Sara Lopez, who was constantly barrel rolling, also found it a little difficult to support; Now that the opponent has decided to return, whether it is the original plan or forced to turn back, as long as the opponent leaves, she connects the fighter plane to level and let the landline automatically return to the level flight state.

But at this moment, seeing the ECJA fighter withdrawing from the barrel roll, Li Gejian immediately reminded his partner to follow closely behind him and give the opponent a little color to see:

"Miyu, roll around the barrel in a circle, turn left and return in three weeks!"

As soon as the words fell, aiming at the No. 22+07 "Hurricane" in the sky that had just resumed flat flight, Li Gejian suddenly pushed forward the throttle valve, and with the help of the good burst characteristics of the engine, he accelerated and caught up, and then immediately pedaled the rudder with the side stick to change the direction of the nose, and white smoke erupted from the huge gray giant bird body, and suddenly entered the barrel rolling track of the spiral.

Seeing that the long plane moved, Gao Meiyu in the rear of the side immediately drove the plane to follow, and the two F-15s, one in front of the other, seemed to have entered the exact same spiral trajectory and flew forward, one after another passing diagonally from the side of the white "Hurricane" fighter plane!

Sara Lopez in the "Hurricane" fighter was quite surprised to see the ALSA fighter suddenly erupt, but as a pilot with excellent skills and more psychological skills, she did not panic and let the landline move casually, but calmly maintained a level flight attitude, watched the two gray warhawks with dazzling tail flames roar past, spiraling forward with a thunderous whistling, and then turned sideways one by one in front of her sight, then turned around, and gradually disappeared into the clear noon sky.

"Major, --Major, are you alright? These guys are also dangerous, so we still have to be careful! ”

"Hmph...... It's bold, these guys. ”

Hearing an anxious call on the radio, knowing that Lieutenant Colonel Raul Álvarez was concerned about her own safety, Sara Lopez pursed her lips and looked at the wide sky behind her, "Lieutenant Colonel, I'm fine." After all, it's our challenge first, and I don't think it's a big deal. ”

"Well, even if that'......"

Thinking that it was "not a big deal" to roll the barrel at such a close distance, Lieutenant Colonel Alvarez was really relieved, and his gloves were now sticky and full of sweat.

Just now, when the young lady and her opponent were fighting for a while and sticking to accompany the flight, he reminded Sara on the radio to pay attention to safety, but the girl still ignored it as always; It wasn't until later, when the competitive Major was really rolling around the ALSA fighter route, and at this time he was worried about distracting her, and Lieutenant Colonel Alvarez's heart was in his throat, and now he saw that the two F-15s had finally turned around and returned, and he breathed a sigh of relief in the cockpit.
