When Chang Haonan returned his attention to Yao Mengna, who was sitting opposite, he found that the latter's mood seemed to be much lower than just now.

After thinking about it, he felt that it should be because his senior sister also heard the conversation between the two reporters just now.

For those who have not experienced the Internet era and have not seen the lower limits of these media, the words of that old reporter are indeed very uncomfortable.

Therefore, Chang Haonan feels that as a man, he should take the initiative to find some topics that can make the other party happy:

"Senior sister, what do you think will be everyone's reaction during the air show tomorrow afternoon?"

Yao Mengna flipped through the food on the plate in front of her with chopsticks, and couldn't help but silently recite in her heart: "I chose myself, I chose ...... myself."

That's how to keep it decent.

But in fact, she didn't hear the second half of the conversation between the two people next to her just now.

"Since there has been a newspaper report, the audience should be looking forward to the appearance of the new aircraft itself."

Now that the topic has been discussed, Yao Mengna also thought about it quite seriously for a while before replying:

"But even if they can guess the model of the aircraft, they will never guess the performance of the aircraft, and besides, there are other things in our exhibition area."

Although there are also wall-climbing parties in this era, due to the speed of information transmission, the test flight of the J-8C must not be known by too many people.

"Indeed, these two people can be regarded as crooked...... Chang Haonan shook his head helplessly.

No matter what the starting point of the reporter surnamed Liu was, he really ran into it.

……

On the opening day of the air show, Chang Haonan got up early in the morning and came to the main venue at the International Air Show Center in advance at dawn.

As the host, the preparation time left for Huaxia Aviation Industry is longer after all, unlike many exhibitors who arrived yesterday afternoon or even evening who need to set up their booths overnight, so he simply took advantage of the efforts of not many people to take a turn in the venue.

Since the main body of Huaxia's export of air force weapons and equipment to the outside world is Huaxia Aviation Technology Import and Export Co., Ltd., the personnel of the Aviation Industry Group who came to participate in the exhibition, no matter which research institute or manufacturing plant they belong to, all unanimously declare that they are the personnel of the aviation technology company, including the indoor exhibition hall and the outdoor exhibition area are also arranged together.

The Xiangzhou Air Show is not the first air show in China, but it is the first air show in China to arrange the actual display and flight show content, and the influence of the Beijing Air Show, which only has an indoor part and is nicknamed the "model exhibition", is not at the same level at all.

Therefore, all factories in the aviation industry have basically taken out their own things.

In addition to the J-8IIM of the 601, the Hongdu 650 Institute brought the strong 5M attack aircraft and the K8 trainer aircraft, the Bingcheng 602 Institute brought the Z-9 helicopter, and the Rongcheng 611 Institute brought the J-7MG......

Even Chang Haonan saw something in the outdoor exhibition area that was absolutely not exhibited in the original timeline-

The prototype of the MA60 No. 02.

In fact, let alone exhibiting, there was no such plane in the previous life.

What's even more exaggerated is that the display board in front of this aircraft is even printed with the logos of Huaxia Aviation Industry and Italian Agusta......

Obviously, after a new wing design and a core competency focused on fuel economy, the regional airliner project is progressing quite well.

In the aviation industry exhibition area, which is the most conspicuous and closest to the runway of Xiangzhou Airport, there is also a vacant seat.

Next to the empty space was a slender cylindrical object covered with a rainproof cloth, and the display board in front of it was covered with thick white paper.

Here, of course, it is for the J-8C that has not yet appeared.

In the part of foreign exhibitors, Chang Haonan also found a slight difference.

Or Agusta, who brought two utility helicopters, the A109 and the A119, the latter of which even made its maiden flight last year, which is considered its first public appearance.

It's enough to see how important they are.

You must know that the current Xiangzhou Air Show is not as good as later, although it has gained a lot of attention, but foreign countries, especially Western countries, are mainly a lively posture, and the exhibits brought are mainly models.

Even some Western media have said very bluntly in their reports that the historiographical value of the Xiangzhou Air Show is higher than the commercial and technical value -

The meaning is very clear, that is, the air show you hold in Huaxia, but you can only come up with an airplane equivalent to the level of us twenty or thirty years ago, which naturally looks similar to an exhibition of cultural relics.

Similar ridicule in previous lives continued even into the first decade of the new century.

Going around and around, when Chang Haonan returned to the exhibition area belonging to the aviation industry, the sky was already bright, and the staff of other research institutes had already arrived.

Among them, there are even many acquaintances of Chang Haonan.

For example, Lu Yuying of the 611 Institute and Yi Yuanhe of the 606 Institute.

But now is not the time to make small talk.

Because the number of reporters, exhibitors, and tourists from Xiangzhou City and even surrounding cities has increased one after another.

Even though Chang Haonan knew the attraction of the Xiangzhou Air Show, the scene in front of him was far beyond his imagination.

In fact, it is far beyond the imagination of the airshow organizers.

In order to cope with this air show, Xiangzhou specially built a new two-way six-lane road, which is said to have been scolded by the locals for a long time and thought that it was impossible to use.

However, the road is now blocked by traffic coming and going, and until near noon, many people are stuck in traffic and unable to enter.

Not only that, but most of the exhibiting planes were not fenced around because the original plan was to rely on staff to maintain order, there was no official food and water on site, and there was not even a seating area in the huge venue......

In short, although it has been preparing for several years, the first Xiangzhou Air Show opened in such a somewhat chaotic scene.

Not surprisingly, even if Chang Haonan was in the background of the staff, he could hear the complaints of the tourists around him.

It is also because of the "warm-up" of media people including but not limited to Lao Liu, most people's expectations for this air show have been full, even if the two wingmen are parked in an extremely conspicuous position near the airport runway, but most tourists who come to visit will still rush to the exhibition area in China first after entering.

As a result, there seems to be nothing in the venue that can be called a "surprise" in the venue.

The only relatively new one is the J-8IIM, but anyone who regularly pays attention to the equipment of the Air Force has known about it for a long time, and has even seen this aircraft in magazines and reports.

"What......"

In the crowd, a young man with a camera around his neck pouted in dissatisfaction.

He took a leave of absence from school after reading the article in the newspaper.

I even spent a lot of money to stay in the hotel closest to the airshow center.

As a result, after arriving at the scene, the enthusiasm was like being swept down by a bucket of ice water, and it was completely cold.

"What ...... new planes"

However, he took a few photos with little interest, and then prepared to go around the Russian exhibitor's booth next door.

"I only had two rolls of film with me, so I couldn't waste them on that."

The young man shook his head as he muttered to himself.

However, at the moment of turning, a sharp roar suddenly sounded louder and louder in the air behind him.

He turned his head and saw only a slender and slender fighter slowly growing larger in his field of vision.

When passing over the venue, the plane also made a special movement to shake from side to side, as if to greet the crowd on the ground.

It was also through this action that some sharp-eyed people saw the striking red font printed on the side of the cabin.

J-8C。
