Chapter 4 Let the Eagle Return to the Blue Sky

The document was exquisitely printed and written in French. Xu Jun's level of French was miserable, but fortunately he found that the document was accompanied by a copy in German, and he finally understood the content of the document.

It was an invitation to the world's major military museums. The content of the letter probably means that two weeks later, the French Association of Veterans of World War II will hold a large-scale commemorative gathering in Dunkork, probably to commemorate the outbreak of World War II or victory or something, and to prepare for a week's exhibition of World War II armored vehicles and equipment and air shows, so we sincerely invite major museums or private collectors around the world to organize exhibits to participate in the event. The participating units and individuals will be ceremoniously received by the local government of France. It was also pointed out that the event will be broadcast to the whole of Europe by the media, which will be a good opportunity for museums and private collectors to make a name for themselves, etc.

After reading the letter, Xu Jun looked puzzled and asked, "Pavilion ...... Oh, Carl, you don't want our pavilion to participate in this event, do you? ”

"Of course, this is the best opportunity to show the whole of Europe what our museums are capable of." The curator nodded affirmatively.

"But Carl, all of our best exhibits have been rented by several other museums, and the rest are second- and third-rate exhibits, and there are no exhibits that can show the strength of this museum."

"Hahahaha, if you look closely, there is also a flight show written on the back of the armored vehicles and equipment exhibition. Have you forgotten that we still have that treasure that will amaze all of Europe? ”

"You mean the ME-109E-3? Although the plane has been repaired and the engine has been tested on the ground, it is theoretically possible to fly, but in fact it has not been officially test-flown yet, so you don't want this plane to participate in the air show. ”

"Haha, dear Xu, my child, do we have any other planes besides that one that we can fly? I have read your inspection report, and your rigor has always been something I admire, so I trust your judgment. You said that if it can fly, it will definitely be able to fly, test flight, I see you discuss it with a few technicians, and strive to do it once in two days, and we will let this eagle return to the blue sky. ”

"But although I said that it can indeed fly, I also said in the report that due to metal fatigue, it cannot withstand large overloads, which means that even a quick somersault can cause it to disintegrate, so how to perform? And where do you find a pilot who can fly such an aircraft in such a short time? Xu Jun felt that it was better to explain some problems clearly, so as to save the old guy from being hot-headed.

"Hee-hee-hee-hee......-hee

"My dear Xu, child, you must know that now in all of Europe, ah, no, there is no longer a single ME109 in the world that can fly, let alone an original with an original rate of more than 90% and almost no changes. As soon as the plane arrived at the scene, it didn't need to do any somersaults, and even if it was parked on the ground, it was enough to cause a sensation. Even if you really want to fly, even if you circle in the sky a few times, it is enough to make the audience enjoy. I don't think the disc will fall apart. Hahaha, as for pilots, Xu, aren't you a ready-made pilot? Don't be modest, I've already looked at your file, you've already had 200 hours of flying. And no one can compare to your familiarity with that plane, and to be honest, I'm really not comfortable handing it over to someone else. ”

"But......" Xu Jun still wanted to resist, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by the old guy: "You don't have to excuse yourself, Xu, you know that I believe in and value you very much, aren't you still in graduate school?" I know a lot of professors in the field of education, and I will recommend you to them, and you will get the best reviews in Europe. I can also refer you to the best institutes after you graduate. If you want to work in Germany, I can also help you find a job that satisfies you. If you have helped me a lot, I will definitely spare no effort to help you. I'm old, and I don't have many days left. Your presence has given this museum a new impetus, and I hope you will help me to see my museum famous all over the world in my lifetime. I only have this last wish, aren't you willing to help me realize it, this is the best opportunity, we must seize it. Time is of the essence, and now only you can help me. If it's a matter of honorarium, you don't have to worry. I've written a document to give you one percent of the shares in this plane, and you'll get your share of any revenue generated by this plane, and I'll do the math, that's a lot of money, and I'll give you a sum of money for the show. If you have any other requirements, you can ask for anything now, and anything can be discussed. "The old guy works hard to move with affection, know with reason, and lure him with profit, it seems that he is determined to win.

Xu Jun couldn't help but say something a little tempting to him. After thinking about it carefully, I feel that this matter is still feasible. Seeing that the old guy was about to come out with tears when he said that he was emotional, he felt a little pitiful, and Xu Jun's heart softened, so he had to agree. Our Xu Dacai added the title of chief full-time pilot of the Randolph Military Museum to the back of the guest technician.

After full preparation, the test flight two days later was very successful, Xu Jun really had a flying addiction, he had never flown since he went abroad, and he was really suffocated. Although he didn't do any aerobatic maneuvers, he was impressed by the sensitivity and power of the ME109 just by flying and circling (he had flown light civil aircraft before, which of course could not be compared to this sophisticated killing machine), and he admired the technicians of the time who designed such a perfect work.

The curator was indeed very powerful, and on the same day, he called officials from the local aviation administration department to inspect the plane and observe the test flight. The next day, I got the antique flight permit and other relevant licensing documents. Then the curator and Xu Jun began to prepare for the preliminary work of participating in the Dunkork Memorial Rally with great interest.

"Xu, the curator wants you to meet him in his office."

A technician ran into the workshop and shouted. Xu Jun was lying on the engine of the plane, instructing other mechanics on how to clean the fuel tank.

"Do you know what he's looking for me?" Xu Jun asked. "How would I know that the curator went to the train station just now, and as soon as he came back, he asked me to call you to meet him." The technician replied as he tried to squeeze into the mechanic's pile to see what they were doing.

"Oh, thank you for telling me."

After Xu Jun explained the following precautions to a few mechanics, he didn't even change his work clothes and walked directly to the curator's office.

"Xu, you're here, sit down, I have something I want to discuss with you." Looking at the bright smile on the curator's face, Xu Jun had a bad premonition again.

"What's the matter with me in such a hurry? Carl, how can you help? ”

"Hehe, Xu, I don't know how to tell you about this, but you are really the only one who can help with this." The curator was embarrassed at first, and the matter seemed serious.

"Tell me, what's going on, is it about this show?" Xu Jun asked.

"Xu, we're in trouble.";
