Chapter 546: Welcome!
At an altitude of 1,500 meters, the SA-330 'Jaguar' can only fly at a low speed of 200 kilometers per hour, which can avoid mechanical failure caused by excessive speed, which can lead to a catastrophic flight accident.
The personnel carried in the cabin are all important resources of the Huaxia Air Force, extremely precious wealth, and absolutely not for sale.
Not to mention all, just one loss will cause a major earthquake.
Not only did they have to avoid mechanical accidents, but the two helicopter pilots also had to be highly focused and careful to prevent sudden bad air currents and bird strikes.
As the minutes ticked by, the SA-330 'Jaguar' flew safely for two hours, crossing the cold and vast terrain to reach its desert-inaccessible destination, Fateh Air Force Base.
The wind howls, the barren and cold desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and the iconic buildings attached to the air base, the towering towers and the base runway are all in view.
"Lieutenant Colonel Fugu, distinguished flight instructors and four Chinese soldiers, this is the Fateh base, we have arrived, the helicopter will land immediately, and General Bavino is already waiting for you at the base." Lieutenant Colonel Sommel, who was sitting in the cabin, reminded loudly with a bright smile showing sincerity to everyone.
Captain Fugu nodded and replied loudly, "Okay, thank you." ”
The sound insulation of military aircraft is not very good, especially the Jaguar, which was developed in the late sixties of the last century.
"Buzz!"
The sound of propellers and turboshaft engines resounded in the sky, and the SA-330 'Puma', which had been qualified for approach and landing, gradually reduced its speed and altitude, and according to the relevant guidelines, under the watchful eye of an officer at the Fatt base, met the flat and wide open apron.
Be careful, be steady, and never miss anything.
"This base should be very old."
Zhou Hai sat in the cabin, carefully looking at the air base through the protective glass window of the fuselage, his face was calm, and he gave an evaluation in his heart.
The first impression of the Fateh base was only backward and old, mottled everywhere, derived from the architectural style of the sixties of the last century, and the same is true of the tower and the ordinary buildings of the base, and there is hardly any place that has anything to do with advanced and high-tech.
In addition to the 3 Pukala attack aircraft parked on the open tarmac.
Being in such an environment, to be honest, Zhou Hai has a feeling that he feels as if he has traveled back to fifty years ago.
Ground tarmac.
"Here comes our hope."
Wearing a military uniform and wearing the rank of major general on both shoulders, Bavino stood in a military posture, standing outside the safe area, his eyes quietly staring at the slowly descending Puma helicopter, his eyes flickered, revealing an inexplicable light, his lips opened lightly, and he said softly.
Wish!
This Puma helicopter gunship from the Army's 1st Air Force carried an incomparably precious thing for him and the entire Argentine Air Force - hope!
On the upper right side of the tarmac, there are five young female soldiers wearing traditional Argentine costumes, with beautiful and beautiful faces, showing the local customs and elements of South America.
The female soldier, about twenty-three or four, carried a plate covered by a silver-white metal lid, and the other four each held a bouquet of delicately packaged flowers.
Standing next to him were a colonel and two lieutenant colonels, as well as three major officers, as well as twenty-four Afghan pilots who were part of the modified flight training.
It was a simple and highly confidential welcome ceremony, attended by just over 30 people, all of whom were part of the entire program.
"Buzz!"
More than ten seconds later, with the three-point fixed landing gear aviation tires, in contact with the cement floor of the open-air apron, the entire Puma helicopter landed steadily, and the high-speed rotating blades produced a strong and rapid downwash air flow and turbulent air flow, sweeping all around, and blowing up countless invisible dust and fine sand like a strong wind.
After the successful landing, the two veteran pilots belonging to the First Air Brigade of the Army were relieved in their hearts, and subconsciously exhaled a breath, a thin layer of sweat seeped out from the surface of their foreheads, and their hands skillfully turned off the engine and the onboard avionics system.
Great God, this is the most important flight mission of their career, not to perform any cool and flashy helicopter maneuvers, but to be smooth and safe.
If something happens, it will ruin the hope of the entire air force to rise again, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
Although, they are army pilots.
The two 'Turbo' aviation turboshaft engines gradually reduced their power output, the huge engine sound quickly attenuated, and the four blades that lost their power output no longer maintained their original speed and rotated according to inertia.
"Bang!"
The crew members got up as fast as they could, opened the metal hatch, revealing the world outside.
Lieutenant Colonel Sommer, who was on high alert throughout the whole process, got up and smiled at the puffer fish and the crowd:
"Distinguished flight instructors, welcome to Fateh Air Force Base, please dismount."
"Thank you, Shuilian, change into winter clothes, we will line up and gather as soon as we get off the plane." Captain Fugu nodded to Lieutenant Colonel Sommel, glanced at the crowd, gave orders, and straightened the slightly wrinkled collar with his right hand to make sure he looked up.
"Yes!"
Shui Lian, who was wearing a dark black down jacket, immediately responded, quickly took off the down jacket, and took out the Air Force winter coat from the backpack to change.
Zhou Hai and Lychee had been wearing winter coats all the time, as were the four heavily armed guards, all of whom tidied up their clothes a little to ensure that they belonged to the image of the Chinese soldiers.
Don't ignore small things, don't take big things frivolous.
Image is a seemingly ordinary but very important thing, because being in a foreign country represents not only oneself, but also the entire army and nation.
Seeing this, Lieutenant Colonel Sommer did not urge, and a few seconds later, Shui Lian quickly changed her clothes and stuffed her original down jacket into her backpack.
Immediately afterwards, the highest-ranking captains, Fugu and Sommer, disembarked first, followed by Shuilian, Lychee and Zhou Hai, and the four guards were at the end, leaving the old cabin quietly and orderly, quickly leaving the area affected by the wing blades and downwash airflow, and then assembled in a formation and stood on the hard ground of Fateh Air Base.
Eight people formed a team, standing in a military posture, and the neat uniform on the body revealed a serious meaning.
At this moment, with everyone coming to the outside world, a pair of eyes full of curiosity and expectation all cast them over and gathered on the four people led by them.
"All of them, take a break, stand upright, and walk together!" The captain of the pufferfish, with a serious face, stood in a military posture and gave orders to everyone.
The loud and powerful voice resounded through the empty and cold tarmac, almost drowning out the propellers of the SA-330 'Puma' helicopter.
