Section 461 - Before the opening

"Report to the 'Seine' base, the Sukhoi 'Gregory' flight squadron is ready, I am the captain 'Mayflower', and I will start leading the team into the waiting area!"

"The 'Seine' received, the weather is sunny today, the southeast wind is level 4, the outdoor temperature is 31 degrees Celsius, the air pressure is 1076 Pa, the density of suspended particulate matter in the atmosphere is good, the radar has been turned on, and take-off is allowed!"

This "Seine" air base is a small airport temporarily closed by the French government in 2008, only to maintain the most basic site maintenance, in order to provide relevant services to aviation exhibitors around the world, the French government specially transferred manpower from Orly Airport as an airport operation, it took two months to reopen this airport, even the flight command center of the airport communication and radar monitoring support, are mobile military communication stations and radar base stations.

As soon as the call from the temporary command center of the "Seine" air base ended, a voice from the command center of Le Bourget Airport, 12 kilometers northeast of Paris, also interjected: "This is Le Bourget Airport, please turn on the GPS positioning, keep the communication channel, and see you in eleven minutes!" Good luck, boys!"

"Thank you, French gentlemen, the 'Gregory' flight squadron received, all planes pay attention, the two-plane formation takes off, the take-off elevation angle is 40 degrees, the marshalling take-off distance is 500 meters, pay attention to avoid the wake, 'No. 7' you follow at the end, we use an oblique formation, and now we will start to check the catapult device for the last time."

As the captain of the team, "Mayflower" Kameni. Ivanov carefully commanded every aircraft, and even his new teammate "Seven" took special care.

"Okay, Captain, 'Snowflake' received! I'm with the captain!"

"Yes, Captain, 'Magician' received! I'm in the second group with 'Pearl Oyster'. ”

"Okay, 'Magician', 'Pearl Oyster' confirm the order!"

"'Sargassum' confirmed, I'm in the third group with 'trout'!"

"'Trout' confirmed, 'Seven' don't be left behind!"

"'Seven' received!"

"Gregory Flying Squadron, now start taxiing!"

In order to take care of Lin Mo, the six Russian pilots in the communication channel all use English, although it is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but it does not affect communication.

Seven Su-27s became the largest source of noise in almost the entire French Air Force airfield, and the roar of 14 Al-41F propulsion engines could be heard even from five kilometers away.

The sound of the surging engine attracted the attention of many people, which was almost close to the formation of a squadron.

This is an excellent opportunity to observe, especially when other countries are waiting for the transition to take off, and they even walked to the side of the runway, half-covering their ears to watch the Russians' Su-27 formation take off.

The two Su-27s, the captain "Mayflower" and "Snowflake", rushed onto the runway, only 30 meters apart, and after sprinting for 600 meters at an increasingly fast gliding speed, they raised their noses high and rushed into the sky.

Ten seconds later, the second and third groups of twin planes rushed into the blue sky.

The last "Flanker" also followed, and after flying around the entire air base in the sky, it followed the six "Flankers" in front of it, forming a seven-plane medium-sized formation in an oblique formation.

From the ground, the diagonal line of seven fighter jets crosses the sky, which is not only awe-inspiring, but also visually impressive-

As for the marching backpack that Lin Mo could not bring on the plane, it was full of dry food, and there were no secrets at all, which were handed over to Sergei of the Sukhoi company in advance before he boarded the plane. Engineer Sulotov kept it on his behalf, and when they arrived at Bulget Airport from the ground, he returned it to Linmer.

"Oh! Look, look, Sukhoi's planes, so imposing, why don't they fly devil formations!" On the ground, only next to the Sukhoi company pilots stood on the wings of the MiG-29, palms raised above their eyes to block the sun, looking at the seven fighters from afar.

The mechanic who was checking the plane on the side immediately stopped what he was doing, looked at the pilot of his country with wide eyes, and said as if incredulous: "Seven? Devil formations? Are you crazy, that's not a devil formation, that's a suicide formation! Do you have a grudge against Mayflower, bang! A big firework exploded in the sky!"

As he spoke, he gestured with his hand in the shape of a large fireball.

The diamond-shaped formation, with a distance of less than five meters between the six fighters and a height difference of only one meter, can be said to be an extremely dangerous flight formation, and once a collision occurs, it is almost the danger of total annihilation, and if the wreckage of the plane falls into the crowd of spectators on the ground, it can at least take the lives of thousands of people.

At present, there are not even more than a handful of air show teams in the world that have mastered this kind of formation, and in the absence of real technical conditions, no flight team dares to take such a big risk to show off with this kind of formation.

Not to mention the addition of a fighter plane, the risk of each additional fighter plane increases by geometric multiples, although they know that the pilots participating in this aerospace exhibition are all elites of various countries, but no matter how bold the Sukhoi flying team is, they do not dare to let a new Chinese pilot insert into their aerobatic team.

Therefore, when the formation was formed, the "Gregory" flying squadron arranged Lin Mo to the back of the group.

"There are just seven fighter jets, maybe you can put up an Eastern Big Dipper Seven Star Array, this is definitely a good idea, next time I will definitely talk to the people of 'Gregory'!"

The MiG pilot grinned disapprovingly, knowing full well that the mechanic was not right, but out of jealousy of the "Gregory" squadron that worked for Sukhoi.

The MiG sunset, research and development funds are tight, and the income of pilots working for MiG is naturally not as high as that of pilots working for Sukhoi.

With a huge roar, the Su-27 formation disappeared with a thunderbolt in the sight of the people at the "Seine" base-

"Hello everyone, this is Gil, the host of France TV 4. Lebre, next to me is the aviation enthusiast Martin. Mr. de Polygnac, our current location is the location of the Paris-Le Bourget International Air and Space Exhibition, Le Bourget Airport" In front of a camera, the TV host in a suit made a simple self-introduction and opening remarks, and the guest next to him, as a cooperating guest, bowed slightly when he heard the introduction, showing his presence, and the host continued: "In two days, this international air and space exhibition will be officially opened, although it is not opened today, But it's already home to a lot of tourists from all over the world."

At this point, the live video quickly switches to the camera lens facing another scene, a sturdy scaffolded auditorium that stretches for kilometers.

In order to hold this exhibition, the cargo functions of Le Bourget Airport are shared between Charles de Gaulle Airport and Orly Airport, and according to the command and dispatch of the French Air Traffic Authority, the cargo planes that were supposed to land at this airport are diverted to other places.

Instead of the busy air traffic of the past, the large area of greenery makes it look like a big park.

The vast meadow is densely covered with frolicking people, and there are even many tents dotted on the lawn, and the bold girls simply wear three-point bikinis to use the lawn here as a beach, and some simply spread out blankets to sunbathe.

The entire Bourget airport is so popular that it has become a tourist attraction for tourists from almost all over the world, and although the exhibition has not yet opened, it has already attracted a lot of popularity.

About 500 meters away, a cordon cuts off the main runway of Le Bourget airport, and planes may be available at any time.

On the other hand, the area that accounts for almost one-third of the entire airport is also isolated by a cordon, and there are even armed men and military dogs guarding with guns, and the security is more stringent, and it can be seen from a distance through the buffer distance of about 60 meters.

This "small lotus" exposed to the sight of the aerospace exhibitors in the exhibition area of various countries is not really a small lotus, but a model of the launch vehicle of China, the United States and Russia, which is comparable to the rocket model of several floors high, although it is much smaller in scale, but it is still very visually impactful.

After the opening ceremony, the first to welcome visitors from all over the world in this aerospace exhibition area is not the first to greet visitors, but all parties and dignitaries, large orders will be signed in these days, a day is far from enough to describe, this is also the most important day of the year for aerospace manufacturers in various countries.

At this time, the brief scene of all angles of Le Bourget Airport switches to that of the presenter, Gil. Here in Lebre, there was a buzzing roar in the picture, as if the distant sky was rolling with muffled thunder, and the camera first stopped on the host and the guests, and the camera crossed them and pulled out a telephoto, pointing behind them.

Nearly a thousand meters long, on the grass that has been emptied of the crowd, there are eight tall pillars, which seem to be welded out of steel bars, with a diameter of about one meter, maybe two or three people can hug each other, and there is a colorful flag on the top of each pillar, but people can't see what these seven- and eight-story pillars are for.

At this time, the host's voiceover appeared at the right time, "Behind us, is the air show venue of Le Bourget Airport before the opening ceremony for aeromodel enthusiasts from France and other countries to show model airplanes, Mr. de Polygnac, as an aviation enthusiast, you should also have a certain understanding of model airplanes, can you help us make an introduction, I am very curious about how these realistic and almost identical model airplanes fly into the sky." ”
