Flight training base, in the flight briefing room.

A week ago, the Teaching Aviation Brigade of the Naval Aviation University received a new establishment number - the 11th Teaching Aviation Brigade of the Navy. The number determines the nature of the unit, which is both a teaching brigade and a combat brigade. The general teaching brigade has only a basic backbone, and even many instructors are drawn from combat units when needed. The 11 Brigade is different, a full-fledged teaching brigade and an operational brigade.

They have not yet officially taken on combat readiness duty, and the cadets have not yet started flight training, so there is only one cadet in the briefing room at this time - President Li.

Zhang Xiongyi personally accompanied, not only him, but also Vice President Chen Changfeng on the side, and the three of them chatted in the briefing room, waiting for Li Mu's teacher Dai Xi to come over to give a briefing.

"Headmaster, to be honest, although I have no objection to you going to heaven, but you are going to participate in the combat readiness duty mission, is this matter not worth considering? Chen Changfeng said.

Chen Changfeng is also wearing a flight suit, and like Zhang Xiongyi, he is a fully armed new flight suit. Both of them are regular soldiers with at least fifteen years of flying experience, unlike Li Mu, who was born with mud legs, and has never fought a few times.

Zhang Xiongyi also said, "Yes, president, as the president of the Aviation University, it is indeed not like that if you can't fly a plane, but you have to carry out combat readiness patrol missions, this risk is too great." ”

They are all very clear that Li Mu is not an ordinary person. Not to mention the rest, if the full-fledged president of the Naval Aviation University falls, who can afford to take this responsibility?

As long as you go to heaven, there will be danger.

However, they also all know that once the principal decides something, it is difficult for others to change his mind. The most critical thing is that the principal is able to get approval from his superiors. In such a situation, if their subordinates oppose it again, it will not work.

Therefore, their objections can only be expressed in such private settings, not in formal meetings.

Li Mu smiled and said, "You guys are too worried. What is the task of combat readiness patrol, isn't it just a few circles in the sky. The established route, the established airspace, and the flying sharks, what do you have to worry about. ”

Looking at each other and smiling helplessly, Chen Changfeng and Zhang Xiongyi stopped persuading each other, and couldn't persuade them.

Today is the first time Li Mu has piloted a flying shark into the sky, and in the past month or so, he has used the Falcon high-level education plane for more than 100 hours of flight training. According to Dai Xi's arrangement, the next step is to conduct intensive flight training, and he will fly 150 hours in a month. That's an average of two hours a day. This intensity is incredible!

You know, the average pilot can fly 200 hours a year in the sky, which is already good!

To judge the combat effectiveness of an air force flying unit, you don't need to look at anything else, you only need to look at the average number of flight hours of its pilots per year. More than two hundred can be judged excellent.

It's not a day you just want to go on, and it's rare to have more than two hours in the air at a time.

Not to mention far, if it is changed to ten years ago, a pilot was able to take the opportunity to sail away, which almost shows two points, first, your military quality is very good, and second, you burned high incense. Not to mention anything else, ten years ago, the military, whether navy or air force, fighter planes rarely had long-distance voyage missions, and basically turned in their own airspace. Otherwise, the pilots who were able to carry out patrol missions in the South China Sea Islands before would be written about because there were too few.

Of course, the current situation is different, and the navy and air force sail out of the Pacific Ocean at every turn, and from time to time they go through the Miyako Strait to the Sea of Japan in circles, and fly out one or two thousand kilometers in one go. The more opportunities there are, the more pilots with relevant flying experience will naturally be. If you train a lot, you will naturally go up when you fly.

If in the past, pilots who had accumulated enough flight hours for 2,000 hours would have basically stopped flying. As for the current situation, there are 2,000 pilots with flying hours, and the navy and air force units have grabbed a lot of them.

In the final analysis, military spending has come up, and there is more aviation kerosene that can bring disaster to everyone. Of course, the premise is naturally that there are sufficiently advanced third-generation aircraft, then three and a half generations, and then fourth-generation aircraft. Such changes are also the result of accumulation.

Therefore, Li Mu's high-intensity flight training looks terrifying, but in the current environment, it is not so eye-catching. Of course, to concentrate on one person would be incredible.

Dai Xi was worried about whether Li Mu's body could withstand such a high-intensity flight.

As Li Mu's flight instructor, he obviously would not agree to Li Mu's combat readiness patrol mission, but Li Mu dragged Chen Changfeng and Zhang Xiongyi, so Dai Xi had no choice. Whoever is in charge of him, he can only take orders.

Dai Xi, who was ready, was also wearing a full flight suit, he walked in with a folder in his hand, and immediately saluted Li Mu and the other three leaders.

Pointing at Dai Xi, Li Mu said, "Xiao Dai, today you are the commander, and we are all under your command." ”

"Yes!

Dai Xi walked over to the podium and began to give a briefing on the mission.

"Headmaster, Deputy Headmaster, Brigade Commander, now I will begin to talk about the mission briefing of today's combat readiness patrol. Dai Xi opened the folder, looked at the aviation chart on the electronic blackboard, and said, "Since our aviation training brigade has not yet officially assumed the combat readiness duty mission, today's combat readiness patrol mission is temporary, and the patrol task assigned by the Hainan Aviation Command Center is a patrol mission. ”

"The combat readiness patrol mission has long been codenamed Afternoon Sunshine, and the time is from 15 o'clock to 17:30 a.m., and the patrol time is two and a half hours. Headmaster, Deputy Headmaster, Brigadier Commander, look at the display. The patrol route is to turn southwest after takeoff, enter the Beibu Gulf, then turn south, stick to the demarcation line and go south for a cruising flight, enter the airspace of the South China Sea for 700 kilometers, stay in the airspace for 30 minutes, and then return in a straight line. The task is simple. ”

Dai Xi continued, "The principal and I are one crew, and the vice principal and the brigade commander are one crew. The principal and I were on a long plane, and we performed in a two-plane formation. When passing through the airspace of Hainan Island after takeoff, the troops over there will take off a two-plane formation of flying leopards to accompany us. ”

"You wait. Li Mu interrupted Dai Xi's words, "You say so, those two flying leopards are nannies? ”

Dai Xi said, "Headmaster, it's already good that the above can approve you to perform such a task. ”

He still has resistance in his heart.

Li Mu smiled and waved his hand, "Okay, okay, that's it." ”

Dai Xi said solemnly, "Headmaster, although you sit in the front cabin this time, but in the sky, you must obey my orders unconditionally!"

Li Mu also nodded seriously and agreed, "Yes, I will definitely obey the order." ”

Generally, the main pilot is the front cabin, and the rear cabin is usually the weapons operator, and only when the pilot in the front cabin loses the ability to control the aircraft, can he take over the operation of the aircraft. On the two-seater aircraft of the instructor model, the instructor in the rear cabin can directly take over the flight control. The same can be done on the Two-seater Shark, but only in an emergency.

"If there are no other problems, let's get ready to go. ”
