Colonel Hobbes handled the matter very efficiently, and the matter was done that afternoon, and the commander of the 28th Squadron of the British Royal Air Force in Hong Kong, Major Kindel Rock, agreed to teach Major Panson of the United States Navy to fly the F2A aircraft, but only in Hong Kong.

On Sunday, July 16, at one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Junhao took Jackie and Nylon to fly to Hong Kong on a Pan Am DC-3 passenger plane, and without even leaving Kai Tak Airport, he was taken by Major Roque to the Kai Tak Air Force Base next door to taste some Royal Air Force food.

From Shanghai to Hong Kong, the straight-line distance in the air is 1270 kilometers, and the cruising speed of the Douglas DC-3 passenger plane is only 260 kilometers / h, and it took nearly five hours to arrive. Although Li Junhao also felt uncomfortable, he was more anxious to learn to fly, and he put forward his desire to learn immediately during the meal.

Major Roque, 30 years old, has eight years of flying experience, and has a good relationship with Colonel Hobbes, who once served as military attache at the US Consulate in Hong Kong. At this time, he saw that the US Navy lieutenant was so active and studious, so he agreed.

At half past two, Major Roque personally drove Li Junhao around Kai Tak Air Base in a jeep, and introduced the 28th Squadron of the Royal Air Force, which was very "miserable" at the moment.

At present, the 28th Squadron has a total of 16 aircraft, four 1939 American-made F2A "Buffalo" carrier-based fighter-bombers, four 1934 Armstrong "Machete" fighters, four 1933 Hawker II fighters, two 1934 "Walrus" MK.l water patrol aircraft, two 1933 Miles two-seater trainer aircraft, and the 12 aircraft behind are even old-fashioned biplane models, which have long lagged behind this era!

Roque knew that at present, the Anglo-Indian army, the Anglo-Burmese army, and the Middle East troops began to equip the new "Hurricane" and "Spitfire" more than a year ago, but there was no movement on their side......

Li Junhao also pouted in his heart, although he was half a military fan in his previous life, he only knew about the aircraft of various countries in World War II from the United States F4U "Wildcat", P-51 "Mustang", P-38 "Lightning", Germany's BF-109 "Messerschmitt", FW-190 "Mozu" and JU-87 "Stuka", Britain's "Hurricane" and "Spitfire", Japan's Zero and 97 ship attacks, etc., as Roque just mentioned He had no impression at all.

Although he doesn't know enough about the equipment of the Air Force, in front of Roque, just follow and scold those bastard politicians, well, British and American politicians are not things! At this time, the relationship between the two has progressed rapidly.

The jeep stopped in front of the hangar, and under Roque's orders, the ground crew dragged out a Miles trainer in the best condition, refueled it, and pushed it onto the runway.

This time it was Li Junhao's turn to be surprised, this Major Roque is so tiger, he came up and took himself directly to the plane?

Roque said with a smile: "Pan Sen, don't believe those who don't understand, there is nothing mysterious about flying a plane, in fact, it is similar to driving, but there are a few more dashboards, and in addition to left and right, there are also up and down in the direction, and the others are not remarkable...... I think your physical fitness should be good, just try it on the machine, just do it, don't forget if it doesn't work! ”

I believe you're evil! Li Junhao complained in his heart. Although he had never flown an airplane in his previous life, he had also played flight simulation games, and knew that even the most primitive biplane piloting required physique and technique, otherwise, why would he specialize in training pilots? Although he thought about it, he was still looking forward to being able to sit in a real fighter jet and go to the sky.

Under Roque's demonstration, Li Junhao also put on a flight suit and a leather flight cap - there was no concept of anti-load clothing in this period, but because the temperature at high altitude was too low and the sealing of the current fighter was not good enough, the main role of the flight suit was to keep warm; The flight cap is also equipped with goggles to protect your eyes from the sun's rays.

At this time, the slightly older planes didn't even have a voice radio, but fortunately, the 1933 Miles trainer was modified a year ago and now has it, otherwise it would be lost as soon as it goes to the sky.

Biplane has an advantage, that is, it is more convenient to get on and off the plane, two-stage pedals plus the wing, three or two can get on the plane, without the need for a special gangway.

Li Junhao sat in the front cabin, Roque sat in the coach position in the back, and taught him to wear big noise-canceling headphones and microphones after getting on the plane, let him look at the instrument in front of him first, and combined with the English logo on it to tell him the role of the altimeter, gyroscope, level, barometer and other instruments, how to use the joystick and pedal rudder......

For Roque's explanation, Li Junhao understood very quickly. His current intelligence, memory, and thinking speed have been enhanced by two genetic drugs, and he learns new knowledge faster than ordinary people, I don't know how much, basically Luo Ke said it once, and he remembered it!

After twenty minutes of explanation, Roque gave him a small test, and found that he had memorized them all, and was very surprised, and praised him as the fastest beginner he had ever seen.

Then, Roque started the plane's engine and began to fly with him.

Jackie and Nick, who were standing with the ground staff, watched the plane take off with some worry, for fear that something would go wrong!

In fact, there is one point, Roque is right, the aircraft of this era are indeed much simpler in operation than the planes of later generations, there are not so many instruments, there are basically no electronic equipment except for the radio, and even the control is mechanical and hydraulic, which is really not much more complicated than a car; For pilots, the biggest difficulty is the sense of space and direction, and it is easy for an untrained person to get lost in the air, especially when at sea......

However, there was no pressure on Li Junhao, when the plane rose to an altitude of three thousand meters, and after Roque demonstrated a few basic operations, he took the initiative to ask himself to try it, which frightened Roque.

Roque is also a ruthless person, and after a little hesitation, he agrees to let him try. Then, he was surprised to find that this Pan Sen was definitely a genius who learned to fly, and in a short period of time, he completely replicated his previous demonstration operation, and there was no mistake! This made him interested, and he was seriously taught one action after another, and he wanted to see how talented Pan Sen was!
