There is a saying that when your ability cannot support your ambition, it is best to hide it first, but don't forget it.
With his first solo career having to be performed twice, Li Hai really didn't have the confidence to speak out the great ideals deep in his heart. If he hadn't been strongly aware that if he didn't speak his true feelings, Xue Zhengrong would have let him go back to his original employer.
At that time, even the party and the people were shocked. He was such a good comrade-in-arms with Li Hai, and he had never heard Li Hai talk about his ideals.
Becoming a carrier-based fighter pilot and marrying Lin Li is not an ideal, it is just a goal.
Xue Zhengrong was satisfied, and Li Hai and the Party for the People were at ease.
Before the afternoon flight, in the small flight briefing room, Xue Zhengrong, wearing a new green flight suit, said to Li Hai and Li Hai, who were also dressed in the same style, "My master told me that to fly a fighter plane well, you must first learn to talk to her.
Falling in love is like falling in love with a woman. If you don’t like her, will you fall in love with her? The difference is that we can choose the person we fall in love with, but we cannot choose which fighter plane to fly.”
"My father once fought on the northwest frontier, and his army was still using J-6s at that time. It was already 2010. But they never disliked their fighter planes. Fighter planes are our close comrades-in-arms.
When foreign enemies invade, we have no choice."
"I know you don't like Jianba, but you must make yourself like them in the shortest possible time. You must do this. You must keep in mind that Jianba will be your close lover in the next year!"
These words made the two rookies excited.
Xue Zhengrong pointed at Li Hai, "Your performance in the Flying Shark Force is not stable. I have learned about the situation. What I want to tell you is that for Forgotten Reef, what is needed is a fighter plane that can take off and fight.
And the pilot, don’t worry about anything else, you can overcome it yourself.”
A completely different commanding style, with a strong front-line flavor.
It's very appetizing, Li Hai thought.
"Put on your flight helmets and board the plane, let me see your level." Xue Zhengrong gave the order.
Li Zhan had a high opinion of Xue Zhengrong and believed that he had great potential to become an excellent brigade-level aviation unit commander. To be fair, this evaluation was even higher than that of his father, Xue Xiangdong. Xue Zhengrong was driven and courageous, brave enough to take on responsibilities and dedicated, this is what he possessed
Eye-catching labels.
Holding the patinated joystick head, Li Hai undoubtedly felt the courage of his new superior. Sitting in the cockpit and looking forward, he saw the endless ocean, and the end of the runway was less than a hundred meters away from the shore.
This is the runway that will be used frequently in the coming year.
The runway runs roughly in a north-south direction. Most of the time, the take-off and landing direction is south. Only a few times in winter will there be a stable north wind. In other words, most of the time, the take-off and landing direction of the aircraft is towards the approaching direction.
Proceeding in the direction of the shore.
The cockpit of the J-8F has been greatly improved compared to earlier models, but compared with the cockpit of a third-generation advanced training aircraft such as the Haishan Eagle, it is still so simple that it makes people feel like they have traveled back in time. Li Hai shook the joystick wildly to check
When going through each control surface, I found that the control stick was very heavy.
The joysticks of Gaojiao-7 and Haishan Eagle are relatively light, especially the Haishan Eagle. When using fly-by-wire flight control, the joystick is very light and the response is very agile.
After Li Hai confirmed that all systems were normal, he reported to the tower and requested to take off. The tower issued an instruction to allow takeoff, and the timekeeper started timing.
After pushing the throttle lever forward hard, J-8F No. 81103, which had no braking measures and the flaps were in the take-off position, began to roll forward. The two WP-13B turbojet engines made a tsunami-like sound, bursting out more than
Ten tons of thrust push a fighter aircraft weighing more than ten tons to accelerate.
The split cockpit glass gives people the feeling of the retractable front windshield of the old Jiefang truck.
Li Hai put on the oxygen mask and his whole body was shaking with the fighter plane. The shock absorption performance of this fighter plane was indeed not very good, and the ejection seat was not as comfortable as the Seamount Eagle. But these were small details, and Li Hai was not paying attention.
Focused on the current status of the fighter aircraft.
After gliding for more than 700 meters, the ground speed reached the take-off standard, and the engine power reached the requirement to pull the nose earlier.
Li Hai gently pulled the control stick, but the pitch angle did not change. Just when he was about to pull again, the nose of the aircraft finally slowly lifted up. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, this reflex arc was too long.
J-8F No. 81103 slowly lifted off the ground. When the airspeed reached 500 kilometers per hour, the fighter plane had already flown over the end of the runway. Li Hai turned his head and glanced down. The blue water was intoxicatingly clear. He was very cautious.
, maintaining the pitch angle and flying level and then retracting the landing gear while continuing to climb, the fighter plane can finally continue to accelerate without any scruples.
Dang Weimin took off behind him. In terms of take-off movements, Dang Weimin's take-off movements were relatively aggressive and more like a passionate combat pilot. Xue Zhengrong was the last to take off, and Li Hai and Dang Weimin completed the formation according to the tower's command.
After that, Xue Zhengrong directly turned and cut the radius during the climb phase to catch up, flying level and in the same direction as the two-plane formation.
Li Hai put down his goggles and turned to look at Xue Zhengrong, who was more than 200 meters away. Xue Zhengrong was driving the J-8F No. 81101, and the Party for the People was No. 81104. Their wireless call signs were the last two digits of their machine numbers, and sometimes
It will be replaced directly with the last digit.
The J-8Fs on the Forgotten Reef are still painted in the old style, with a white fuselage and a black radome. Red military emblems are on both sides of the vertical tail, and large red aircraft numbers are painted on both sides of the fuselage in front of the air intakes on both sides. It is very special.
conspicuous.
This coating that has been used for more than ten years has not been replaced, which means that the four J-8Fs will not be in service for a long time.
The J-8 series fighters are a symbol of an era and a profound memory of a generation. Sixteen years ago, the martyrs flew J-8 fighters to spill blood over the South China Sea. Since then, sea and air health has become known to the people of the country and has become the most profound issue of that generation.
memories, and humiliation.
It is difficult for people of Li Hai's generation to imagine the scene where their predecessors discussed how to use J-8 fighters to fight against F-22A fighters. In that era, no one did not know that with a technological gap of at least thirty years, confrontation would mean death.
.
what to do?
Only if you know that there are tigers in the mountains, you will head towards the tiger mountains!
Once a foreign enemy invades, fight even if you can't defeat it!
Xue Zhengrong does not need to waste time on giving special ideological education to new pilots. He only needs to let them fly into the sky and take a good look at the vast and beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland. He only needs to let them fly in the sea and air of the motherland like the martyrs.
Take a cruise!
Li Hai thought of an old comrade of his father's who joined a central enterprise after changing his career and was now the deputy general manager of a regional branch. Every time Li Hai asked him about his time as a soldier, the old man who had aged prematurely would remain silent.
It was as if it were some kind of treasure, hiding it and not sharing it with others.
At that time, Li Hai secretly thought that maybe being a soldier was not something he could be proud of.
However, Li Hai was always surprised to see that whenever he and his father drank and talked about the past, the two old men would burst into tears.
Finally, Li Hai was admitted to the aviation school, and he gradually understood what his father's generation of soldiers had experienced, and understood what spirit supported them in such a difficult internal and external environment.
