114 The Legend of the Airplane: Chinese Tobacco and Moutai Liquor
Under Hao Shuwen's driving escort, Cao Zhiqiang came to the capital airport smoothly.
After that, Hao Shuwen parked the car again and personally accompanied Cao Zhiqiang to Terminal 1.
It wasn't until she came to the ticket gate that Hao Shuwen stopped and waved goodbye to Cao Zhiqiang reluctantly.
is different from what Cao Zhiqiang thought, the aircraft security check during this period was simply child's play.
Cao Zhiqiang in his previous life took a plane and had to come over in advance to do all kinds of security checks, but here, there is no so-called security check at all, only a ticket gate.
Unless there is a large luggage, like the travel bag brought by Cao Zhiqiang, you can hold it yourself, and the ticket inspector doesn't even open it to look at it, just ask what you have inside.
After you said what was in the bag, the ticket inspector nodded and didn't open the bag to check it at all.
At the same time, Cao Zhiqiang also saw a glass canned bottle in the back, which was full of yellow-brown liquid, the ticket inspector just asked, and the other party said that it was tea, and the ticket inspector also did not open the bottle to check, and nodded directly.
Seeing this situation made Cao Zhiqiang quite surprised and quite frightened.
There's no security at all, right?
When it was Cao Zhiqiang's turn to check for security, the ticket inspector also just asked without pain, Cao Zhiqiang finished answering, and after the ticket inspector confirmed that there was no contraband, he let Cao Zhiqiang pass.
After Cao Zhiqiang passed the security check, no, after the ticket gate, he took the ticket and followed the crowd inside.
Yes, there is no boarding pass, it's that handwritten ticket.
After walking inside, I went directly to the airport terminal and waited.
It's the capital anyway, and the terminal here is still good, but if it's another city, it's estimated that you will go directly to a shed to stay.
I waited in the terminal for a while, and then I heard the sound of the announcement, and my flight was about to take off.
Next, there was another queue, and then the queue walked out of the terminal, entered the airport runway, and was led by the airport staff to a jumbo jet.
Yes, the plane Cao Zhiqiang took this time, because it was a direct flight from Beijing to Guiyang, the distance was a little far, although it was a domestic route, but it belonged to the work of a trunk long-range passenger plane, so the plane Cao Zhiqiang is taking now is the best plane here, the Il-62 aircraft.
The Il-62 is an aircraft designed and built by the former Soviet Union, NATO codenamed "Wenhao", which is a large long-range jet designed to carry 105 passengers.
The front part of this aircraft, very similar to the Boeing series of aircraft, is the most typical feature, there are four jet engines, two on each side, and the engines are in the tail, not on the wings.
It is said that there are pros and cons to such a design, the advantage is that the appearance is neat, the airflow is not easy to be disturbed by the airflow when passing through the wing, the stability is better, and it is not easy to bump, and the disadvantage is that the center of gravity is problematic, so in order to avoid the center of gravity problem, this kind of aircraft is said to have to make a multi-ton counterweight tank in the nose part.
However, the most prominent thing about this plane is that there are few air crashes, especially the introduction of domestic Il-62 passenger aircraft, as if Cao Zhiqiang has never heard of any air crashes.
On the contrary, other passenger aircraft, such as the Trident of the same period, and even the later Boeing aircraft, have had many accidents.
The reason why there are few air crashes may be related to the design of this aircraft.
After all, the engine is in the tail, and in terms of aerodynamics, it does seem to be more stable, and the aircraft that does so is also stronger.
Therefore, as long as this kind of aircraft solves the problem of the center of gravity, other problems are minor problems.
On the contrary, the engine is mounted on the wing, which seems reasonable, but in fact, the strength of the wing is relatively high, and in this period, the layout of this engine on the wing is somewhat dangerous.
Of course, this is Cao Zhiqiang's personal opinion, and the actual reasons are of course more complicated.
However, one thing can be confirmed, that is, the safety of this Il-62 aircraft is really good, especially the domestic Il-62 aircraft, which have never heard of any air crashes.
However, the Trident jet airliner of the same period, which is said to be more advanced, has accidents from time to time.
In short, seeing that it is this kind of aircraft, Cao Zhiqiang is still very relieved, after all, this is verified by history, and the safety is very guaranteed.
When Cao Zhiqiang boarded the plane, he immediately came to the first class in the envious eyes of others.
When I came here, I found that Nima was alone in the entire first-class area.
subconsciously looked behind him and found that there were two rows of seats behind him before anyone sat down, but the number of people was also very small.
At first, Cao Zhiqiang thought that the people were not on the table yet, but after waiting for a while, he found that the flight attendants began to come over to send things, and asked everyone to fasten their seat belts, saying that the plane was about to take off, and he found that he was still the only one in the first class.
Looking back, although there are more people sitting in the back, if you count them, there are only about 30 people at best, and one-third of the seats are sitting when they die, most of which are empty.
"Sir, the plane is about to take off, please sit in your seat, fasten your seatbelt, and don't look back."
Hearing this voice, Cao Zhiqiang turned around and found that it was a very innocent flight attendant, smiling and persuading herself.
Cao Zhiqiang sat down again and fastened his seat belt, and then the flight attendant began to give Cao Zhiqiang chocolate, white rabbit toffee and chewing gum.
The flight attendant in charge of the first class also said with a smile, it is best to chew gum when the plane takes off, so as to avoid discomfort during takeoff, but do not swallow it, spit it out after chewing, do not spit on the floor, spit on the wrapping paper, and then you can call her, she will come and collect it.
Valley
Cao Zhiqiang nodded, and suddenly asked: "By the way, comrade, why is it that I am alone in the first class, and what about the others?" ”
The stewardess smiled and replied in a low voice: "That may be, in this flight, you are the only one who buys first class." ”
Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
Also, a first-class ticket costs 180 yuan, and in this era, those who can afford 180 yuan rarely buy this kind of ticket unless it is reimbursement.
However, there are also regulations for reimbursement by the unit, and the reimbursement of first-class air tickets requires that your level is very large, so the first-class cabin is not always occupied, and it is often empty.
Of course, there are people who are willing to spend this money to buy a first-class cabin in recent years, but those who are willing to spend this money often do not get a letter of introduction from the unit to buy a plane ticket.
In other words, the main reason for the restriction on the occupancy rate of the plane is the restriction on buying air tickets, especially the restriction on the letter of introduction.
In fact, during this period, not all units could issue letters of introduction for purchasing air tickets.
Most units, including many public institutions, are not qualified to issue letters of introduction for the purchase of air tickets.
Only some large enterprises, or important government agencies and institutions, are qualified to issue a letter of introduction for air tickets.
By the way, by the way, the Beiping Design Institute is now qualified to issue a letter of introduction for air tickets, but the main problem of the Beiping Design Institute during this period is exactness, not disqualification.
Just as she was thinking this, the flight attendant who was talking to Cao Zhiqiang took out a special box of five-pack Chinese cigarettes from the car.
After seeing this, Cao Zhiqiang was surprised: "There is still Chinese smoke on this plane? ”
"Yes." The flight attendant laughed, "It's all free." ”
"No, I didn't mean that." Cao Zhiqiang said, "I want to ask, can you smoke on this plane?" ”
The flight attendant smiled and shook her head: "It used to be okay, but now we have new regulations, starting from this year, smoking is not allowed during the flight, but before the flight, you can smoke one." ”
After a slight pause, the flight attendant lowered her head again and whispered in Cao Zhiqiang's ear: "Of course, if you can't stand it during the trip, you can go to the toilet and smoke a cigarette, but you can't smoke in the cabin." ”
Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Since you don't let you smoke openly, then you still send cigarettes?" ”
The flight attendant was also stunned, and then explained with a smile: "This is a gift only available in first class, if you don't smoke, you can take it back to commemorate or give it away."
This kind of packaging box is specially made, if you take it out and give it away, others will know that it is only available in the first class of the plane at a glance, and it is very face-saving. ”
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and picked up the box of five Chinese cigarettes: "It turns out that Chinese cigarettes are a first-class gift." ”
"Yes, it's a gift." The stewardess smiled and nodded.
Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "By the way, I heard that there is free Moutai to drink on the plane now, is it really fake?" ”
The stewardess looked at the back, lowered her head again and whispered: "Of course there is, but only in first class, if you want to drink, I can provide it for you."
However, this has to wait for the plane to take off, reach the high altitude, and then provide it after the flight is stable, if you drink it now, it will be a little uncomfortable when the plane takes off, so at this time, we do not provide alcoholic beverages. ”
"Understood." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.
"Do you need newspapers and magazines?" The stewardess asked with a smile again.
"And newspapers and magazines?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.
"Yes." The flight attendant nodded, "We have the latest newspapers and magazines, and some that you can borrow during the trip to relieve your boredom, do you want me to show you?" ”
Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while and said, "Give me a copy of the Peking Youth Daily first." ”
"Okay, wait a minute."
After the stewardess finished speaking, she went back to get a newspaper, and then handed it away with a smile.
Cao Zhiqiang didn't talk nonsense, took the newspaper, crossed Erlang's legs, and began to read the newspaper.
After a while, the flight attendant came over to remind Cao Zhiqiang, saying that the plane would take off immediately, and asked Cao Zhiqiang to put away the newspaper, fasten his seat belt, and eat a piece of chewing gum, so as to effectively relieve ear pressure.
Since everyone has said so, Cao Zhiqiang is also as good as a stream, after all, the aircraft of this era cannot be compared with the aircraft of later generations.
When Cao Zhiqiang ate a piece of chewing gum, the flight attendant actually sat down in an empty seat next to Cao Zhiqiang and fastened her seat belt.
The other party's action also surprised Cao Zhiqiang.
You must know that in Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, the flight attendant had an exclusive seat and generally did not sit in the passenger seat, but this flight attendant obviously did not go to the so-called special seat to sit, but sat in the first-class seat next to him.
Of course, Cao Zhiqiang would not think that it was this flight attendant who took a fancy to him, and could only think that this was the characteristic of this era.
In 1983, when I flew in first class, the experience was really different.
