Zhang Jiujiang is the old pilot who drove Chang Hao south to the sky in the Jianjiao-7 to observe the airflow on the wing surface of the J-8C prototype.

Later, the two had a relationship in Yan Liang again.

At that time, Zhang Jiujiang was temporarily pulled over to fly the prototype of the J-7F to show the performance of foreign customers, while Chang Haonan happened to be in Hojing to carry out the improvement work of the J-7.

Haven't seen it since.

With the nature of Chang Haonan's work, there are too many people he sees every day, and Zhang Jiujiang is just an ordinary one who has only seen two faces, not to mention that the other party was wearing an oxygen mask during one of the meetings, and he couldn't see his appearance at all.

So when we first met, I couldn't recognize each other's identities.

But for Zhang Jiujiang, in his more than 20 years of flying career, the back seat has carried such a completely non-professional "passenger", and this passenger has also been deeply involved in the research and development of several models, and the impression must be relatively deep.

And seeing the scene of two people shaking hands and hugging, the most shocking thing was the sentry standing next to him who had just called people out.

"Really a student's parent?"

Looking at Chang Haonan's face, he really couldn't convince himself to believe this.

But Director Zhang and this person obviously know each other......

The Sentinel felt like his brain was about to burn.

In fact, not only him, but even Zhang Jiujiang was a little stunned for a while.

But after all, he knew Chang Haonan's name, and he knew that Chang Jiayao's father was Chang Yuanchao, and Chang Haonan's age was obviously not very old.

Therefore, after eliminating all the impossibilities, the correct answer was quickly deduced:

"So Mr. Chang, Chang Jiayao is your ...... Younger sister? ”

Chang Haonan still didn't know anything about the small theater in the hearts of the sentinels behind, so he just nodded:

"Yes, my sister, I was only admitted to your university last year, and I've been busy with projects since then, and I haven't seen her.

For him, what just happened was actually that the sentry interrogated him normally, and then called Zhang Jiujiang out.

Nothing out of the ordinary.

However, to the sentry's ears, this conversation was not like that—

Zhang Jiujiang, Air Force Colonel.

He is the head of the Department of Aviation and Flight and the director of the flight training course.

Call this young man Mr. Chang......

Hiss......

It's not to be frightened, but it's embarrassing that's real—

Although he just did things according to the rules on the surface, he didn't do anything wrong, but he himself knew better than anyone about the process of the brainstorming just now.

There is a feeling of "a friend's son and his wife shopping together, but you mistook it for cheating and notified the other party, but when it came to the end, it turned out to be an oolong".

So, while no one was paying attention at the moment, he quietly hid back in the sentry box to register the license plate.

"Okay, then I'll take you in, but today is not a rest day, according to the rules, you have to wait until after class to meet the students."

Zhang Jiujiang took Chang Haonan to write his name, contact information and purpose of the visit on the record book, and then looked at Zhu Yadan not far away:

"This other one is ......"

"Uh...... Zhu Yadan, my guard. ”

Chang Haonan couldn't make up any reasonable identity for a while, so he had to tell the truth.

When he heard the last three words, Zhang Jiujiang's originally smooth pen shook directly:

"I'll ......"

"You ......"

Although the relationship between the military and the two systems of the Commission of Science and Technology is very close at the top, at the bottom, except for a few posts such as military representatives, there is not much intersection between them.

Although Zhang Jiujiang is a pilot, it is impossible to keep an eye on the progress of research and development of new equipment all day long.

Besides, I don't have that permission.

Therefore, he actually only vaguely knew that Chang Haonan's status within the aviation industry system should not be low.

But as a soldier, he knows very well who can be equipped with a personal guard in peacetime.

There are guard platoons at the regimental level, guard companies at the division level, and guard battalions at the army level.

However, these establishments are all assigned to the post of commander of the unit, not to individuals......

Therefore, Zhang Jiujiang subconsciously wanted to ask you what the kid has done in the past two years, and even the guards have been mixed.

But in the end, I didn't ask.

Years of organizational discipline have taught him that there are some things that should not be asked.

"Alright, registration is complete."

Zhang Jiujiang returned the registration form and pen to the sentry, and then saluted the other party:

"Very vigilant, good."

It's been almost a year since he's been transferred to the Flight Academy, and he can certainly guess what the Sentinel's thoughts were when he called himself out.

Although the actual situation proved to be an oolong, there was nothing wrong with this treatment.

Regardless of the deeds, as a superior, the soldier should not be allowed to bear the psychological pressure in this regard for no reason.

After some operations at the door, Chang Haonan finally entered the flight academy in Zhang Jiujiang's open-top jeep.

His own Jetta King stopped in the parking lot near the entrance of the academy.

"Actually, before I took the college entrance examination, I also thought about participating in recruiting pilots to become pilots, but unfortunately the bite of my teeth was not up to par, and the army confiscated me."

Chang Haonan sat in the co-pilot seat and looked at the students walking in columns on the surrounding roads.

The seating arrangement of the military, especially the grassroots units of the army, is slightly different from the locality, and under normal circumstances, the co-pilot is the No. 1 position.

Although the registration for the college entrance examination was actually decades ago for him, and he has long since lost his thoughts, when he really mentioned it, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

A person's life is really unpredictable, you say I have a ...... How......

Zhang Jiujiang also smiled:

"That's thanks to the recruiter who rejected you back then, otherwise our country would have lost an outstanding young scientist......

Chang Haonan opened his mouth and found that he really couldn't pick up this stubble, so he had to quietly change the topic:

"By the way, Instructor Zhang is in charge of my sister's class?"

"To be precise, it's their class."

Zhang Jiujiang replied casually:

"Our country has not recruited female pilots every year in the past, so there is no universal training program, and the superiors hope to use them to determine a set of systematic training methods."

"What is the direction of their training, fighters? Or a transport plane? ”

Chang Haonan suddenly remembered that Chang Jiayao said on the phone that he wanted to fly the plane he designed.

"In the first two years, they were not divided, including when they went to the junior training plane to do basic flight training, and they were only divided at the beginning of the intermediate level, the fighter went to drive the Jianjiao 5, and the transport aircraft and bombers went to fly the bombing 5."

Zhang Jiujiang replied:

"However, according to the current plan, female pilots will be assigned to transport flight majors, and they still have to come gradually, and it is too risky to go directly to the fighter jet."

"Speaking of fighters, I thought that I could stay in the combat unit for a few more years, fly the J-8C you made and then transfer to the aviation school, but I didn't catch up with this opportunity when I arrived."

Speaking of this, there was a bit of regret in his tone.

The combat unit also has training instructors, and Zhang Jiujiang has been doing this post before.

However, he was seconded to the test pilot brigade, and then came to the aviation school as a full-time instructor.

At this point, if nothing else, there will basically be no chance to return to the combat unit.

Although it was his own choice to teach at an aviation school, as an air force pilot, it would definitely be false to say that he did not want to fly the latest model of domestic aircraft.

"It doesn't matter, there will definitely be a new type of trainer in our aviation school, and we can't always use Jianjiao 5 and Jianjiao 7 to do things."

In this year, the K8's self-use model Coach 8, as well as the Bomb Yunjiao 7 that was changed on the basis of the Yun7, have not yet been finalized and put into service, so the training equipment of the aviation school is still mainly at the level of the fifties and sixties of the last century, in fact, it is a bit out of touch with the times.

"I know this, Guihang has changed the Jianjiao 7 to a serious senior trainer aircraft, and it is said that the Bayi Air Show Team will also be equipped with this model."

Although Zhang Jiujiang didn't know the role Chang Haonan played in the Jianjiao 9 project, he still heard about the new model:

"If you want me to say, as long as you can replace the Annihilation 7, anything will do."

The pilots, especially the flight instructors in the back seat, naturally understand the grievances of the Jianjiao 7, and Chang Haonan naturally understands them very well.

After all, he really experienced it.

"Isn't there still a K8 over there in Hongdu, there have been a lot of exports, and it should be a sure thing to replace Chujiao 5."

Chang Haonan continued to sigh with relief.

"It's hard to say."

Zhang Jiujiang's attitude was a little uncertain:

"Now there is an argument that the superiors are hesitating whether to continue to retain the primary-intermediate-senior three-level coaching system, or to replace the beginner 6 with a more advanced model and become a primary-senior two-level coaching system, and let the cadets directly enter the army in the fourth year and start flying the coach model of the main fighters."

"Is there such a thing?"

Chang Haonan raised his eyebrows.

"It's a rumor, I'm not sure."

Zhang Jiujiang just mentioned it casually.

He felt that with his age, he probably didn't have much hope before he grounded the flight.

But this is a wake-up call for Chang Haonan.

On the Hongdu side of the aviation industry, the recent days have really not been easy.

Because the appearance of the J-7A was 5 years earlier than the original timeline, the strong 5D, which was supposed to be finalized and equipped with troops in batches, was directly squeezed out of the ecological niche and transferred to the technical reserve.

It's a big loss.

Although he can't blame himself for this fact, if he has the opportunity, it is better to pull a hand.
