Chapter 561: This Trip, Blue Sea! (Ask for a commuter pass)
"The first batch of Albanian trainee pilots Rosar Plando, Air Force captain pilot, you have obtained the FC-20S 'Blue Bird' fighter pilot qualification, and have been flying for 10 hours and 3 minutes, reaching the standard of solo flight, and now with the consent of the flight instructor team and the Albanian Air Force Command, you will be granted the qualification to fly solo, are you ready?"
Warhawk!
In the No. 2 parking stand, a beautiful Bluebird fighter plane is quietly parked like a work of art, with a new and shiny silver gray livery with the Argentine Air Force's digital combat number printed on the nose and a blue military logo painted on the middle of the towering single vertical tail.
This is a Blue Bird fighter belonging to the Argentine Air Force, which rolled off the assembly line three days ago, and was officially put into service after passing the acceptance of the Argentine Air Force and a simple welcome ceremony, embodying the hard work and energy of hundreds of people in the Loma technical team for dozens of days and nights.
A five-member ground crew team and five Argentine ground crews are preparing for take-off around the Jade Bird, filling fuel, loading weapons, ammunition and auxiliary fuel tanks.
"Report to the instructor, I'm ready!"
Hearing the content of the official document announced by Zhou Hai, Rosar, who was wearing a bee's eye, was wearing a standard anti-load suit and an Argentine pilot's military uniform, with a solemn face, and his eyes looked at the young Zhou Hai, revealing a touch of irrepressible excitement and respect.
The whole person stood up in line with the military posture of the Chinese soldiers, raised his hands and saluted, and his body was filled with a sense of determination.
Fly solo!
After more than 20 days of hard training and staying up all night to study, Rosal, who won Zhou Hai's favor in his heart with Chinese, successfully passed the flight simulation assessment of the new aircraft, obtained the qualification to pilot the Jade Bird fighter, and then after Zhou Hai's careful teaching, he obtained the solo flight qualification after flying for ten hours, becoming the first person to be trained as a pilot.
"Keep your emotions in check, today is your first solo flight, and the mission is low-altitude flight at sea and close-quarters combat training, as well as Cobra maneuvering."
After Zhou Hai finished reading it, he put down the official documents, looked at Rosal, who was full of seriousness and maintained a student posture, informed the training content, and gave instructions: "Check and board, remember to be careful." ”
"Yes, Instructor!"
When Rosar heard this, he tried to calm down some of the agitated emotions in his heart, looked at Zhou Hai, who was like a teacher, nodded, and turned to meet the Blue Bird fighter that fascinated him.
Although Zhou Hai is young, he has won his respect from the heart with his strength.
Rosar has not forgotten the picture of Zhou Hai flying out of the Cobra yesterday in the Blue Bird fighter!
Cobra!
Proud cobra!
When the Jade Bird fighter performed this maneuver, it was a blockbuster, shocking the whole audience and causing a sensation to the entire base, and the doubts and doubts in the hearts of all the trained pilots disappeared.
At this time, the ground crews of the two sides have completed preparations for take-off, filled with fuel, mounted two high-capacity auxiliary fuel tanks, two SD-9B infrared point source combat missiles, two SD-10 fourth-generation active bombs, and 300 23-mm armor-piercing incendiary bombs.
As the best achiever in the fourth group of the training team, Rosar kept in mind the experience and rigorous attitude conveyed by Zhou Hai, and carefully inspected every corner of the Jade Bird fighter to ensure that it was correct.
Preciseness!
This is the idea conveyed by the zero instructor, aviation is no small matter, and the risk must be reduced as much as possible.
"Not bad."
Zhou Hai looked at Rosal's inspection steps and attitude, smiled, and nodded with satisfaction.
This period of training was not in vain, and Rosal, who flew solo the fastest, exceeded the original estimate of Major General Bavino and the Albanian Air Force, allowing him, the flight instructor, to receive an additional bonus from the Albanian Air Force.
The prize money was 5,000 dollars, which is equivalent to 736 US dollars, which is considered a windfall.
Don't think that this money is not much, it is enough for him to buy more than 3,000 bags of melon seeds for a piece of five, and there will be no problem until the end of the year.
After Rosar inspected the Jade Bird fighter plane, Zhou Hai, as an instructor, rechecked it and confirmed that it was correct, and then wrote his name in the aviation receipt log.
"Fly solo by yourself, don't panic, you must be calm, understand?" Zhou Hai put down the black pen, looked at Rosar, who was already sitting in the front cockpit of the Blue Bird, and reminded.
"Understood."
Rosal, who was already looking forward to it in his heart, did not have the slightest impatience for Zhou Hai's explanation, and nodded seriously.
One reminder is all it takes, no need to say more.
Zhou Hai turned around and left the No. 2 parking position, came to the No. 1 parking position next door, put away the official documents, picked up the bee eyes and aimed at it, and the whole person greeted the frog fighter with a faint and proud atmosphere.
The single-seat frog is the only one in the whole French base, and it is temporarily used exclusively by flight instructors.
The assembly workshop, which was completed and put into use more than half a month ago, each assembled a Qingjiao and a Jade Bird rolled off the assembly line, and after the two Warhawks passed the acceptance, they were officially equipped with the Argentine Air Force and are currently in secret service.
Since the trained pilots of the four groups are all in the late stage of flight simulation and the early stage of flying with the pilot, only the flight instructors with the qualification can fly the single-seat frog with extremely strong performance.
Without the qualifications to drive, it is strictly forbidden to fly on the plane, which is the mainstream of the air forces of all countries in the world.
Want to fly a special-shaped machine?
Yes, everything follows the process.
"Zero instructors, pay attention to safety when you go out on a mission."
In the No. 1 parking stand, Zhang Ziyun, the leader of the accompanying ground service squadron wearing a work uniform, stood beside the Qingjiao fighter and reminded Zhou Hai.
"Thanks, Lao Zhang, I'll pay attention." Zhou Hai was stunned, remembered something, and smiled at Zhang Ziyun.
The whole person circled around the brand-new Qingjiao fighter, carefully checked and confirmed that it was correct, and wrote his name in the aviation receipt log.
The weapons are of the same configuration, all live ammunition, in excellent condition and ready to go.
Climb the boarding ladder, enter the narrow teardrop-shaped glass cockpit, sit on the ejection seat, Zhou Hai put on a bee eye, connect to the data interface with the avionics system, turn on the main power supply, and after the avionics system activates the self-test, press the cockpit canopy close button, and sign to Zhang Ziyun.
"Buzz!"
Zhang Ziyun nodded in agreement, and cooperated with a mechanic to connect to an external power supply to provide auxiliary power supply, and after more than ten seconds, the roar of the genuine S-10A 'Taihang' resounded all around, and it entered an idle working state.
Immediately afterwards, a ground crew waved a flag and signaled permission to slide out, and Zhang Ziyun and others quickly evacuated to a safe area.
Zhou Hai responded with sign language, his eyes were looking straight ahead, the bee eye head aimed at projecting the comprehensive flight parameters on the lenses, and the whole person pushed the throttle valve with his left hand, and controlled the frog under him to slowly slide out of the cover of the light gray metal hangar, turned to the right, and headed to the base runway.
"Here's Zero, I'll be the captain, you'll be the wingman, baker, and you'll be allowed to slide out." Zhou Hai opened the encrypted communication channel and gave instructions.
This trip, the blue sea!
