Beirut Airport, the runway was in chaos! Because just now, amidst the gunfire that had begun to calm down, a rocket landed at the end of the only remaining runway at the airport.
Beirut Airport has two runways, one of which is still under reconstruction and cannot be used. Because of the war and limited flights, it has been delayed for several years and has not been completed. It is just left there without anyone taking care of it for the time being.
The other was the runway they were planning to land on, a 3,600-meter-long international runway suitable for all large passenger planes to land. The rocket that flew from nowhere landed less than a kilometer away from the end of the runway. In other words, Beirut is now
The runway of the airport has become 2600 meters.
Of course, it is enough for an experienced pilot to land it. Bei Haiyang has also landed one shorter than this in Guba.
Aziz explained with a frown on his face, "We've caught them. It wasn't intentional. It was just a coincidence that the novice made a mistake during practice... I promise that this won't happen again!"
Tuffman's face was livid, "Promise? What guarantee do you have? You can't even control the gunshots coming from around the airport!"
Aziz tried his best to comfort him, "I have already had a phone call with them, and they assured me that a similar situation will never happen again! There are already factional weapons patrolling around the airport, and after all, this is also related to their medicine supply!
There were gunshots, but they were far away! Mr. Tafman, you have to believe that this was an accident. There are always accidents in life...
A person cannot be prevented from being born because of an accident, and similarly, a plane cannot be prevented from landing due to an accident.”
Tuffman stared at him closely, trying to find the truth on his face, but a beard almost obscured all of Aziz's expressions, and the rest was sincerity...
But he still disagreed with issuing landing instructions to three planes.
"You should truthfully tell them the true situation at the airport, and then let them decide whether to land here! We cannot and should not make the decision for them!"
At Tafman's insistence, Aziz had to compromise. Only three of the five planes had arrived. He really didn't want these three planes to fly away again, because he knew very well what would happen after these planes flew away.
It's hard to say when he will come back, and it means that he will have to continue to deal with those difficult faction weapons!
As a result, the three planes that were circling dozens of kilometers away from Beirut received a reply from the tower. It was already 1 p.m. sharp.
"Call Dragon Air LH-777, British Airways A-1414, Air France T-67, this is the Beirut tower.
There is a situation that I must inform you. The only runway at the airport was attacked by rockets, and the remaining runway is only 2,600 meters away!
The armed forces outside the airport have been cleared, and the situation is safe and reliable; but it is up to you to decide whether to land!
The runway has been cleared and there are no other flights taking off or landing for the time being. If you make a decision, please notify the tower to provide you with approach assistance!"
...Bei Haiyang and Pang Lide looked at each other. The time window for landing has arrived! For them, it is still too late to change the landing airport. It is more than enough to go to Damascus, and they can barely fly to Cyprus, but they must make a decision now. They do not have enough fuel.
Support them in continuing to circle.
Moreover, it is useless to circle around the situation now. What can be changed? Can the militants below be stunned?
There is no need to discuss with the other two flights anymore. Everyone agreed that if the circling time exceeds half an hour, they will find their own way back; but it has only been 20 minutes now. Whether to land at Beirut Airport is purely your own choice.
, you should not use your own decisions to influence others, or be influenced by others!
One fact is that even if they land in Damascus or Cyprus, they will still fly back here to land after waiting for refueling. To be honest, neither of them is willing to stay in this damn place for a long time!
If you have to take risks no matter what, how can you be sure that the next time in a few days will be safer than now?
The most important thing is that until now, Longhang still has not issued instructions to them through its own channels, which shows...
Pang Lide, "surrender?"
Bei Haiyang, "Drop!"
...On Air France flight T-67, Captain Abel said nothing, his brows furrowed, completely different from his active appearance on the general channel.
The co-pilot Guy couldn't bear it anymore, "Captain, we..."
Abel was very calm, "Let's wait!"
France is the most restless existence in Europe. It has been in and out of the big family of the League of Nations in history. It wants to lead Europe and compete with the United States, but it cannot escape the deep-rooted cultural ties of Westerners.
I have been stumbling forward in a tangle, trying to show my difference at every turn, but unable to break free within the entire Western framework.
Just like in this operation of the WPC, if the Americans and the Xiong people were here, Abel would probably choose to withdraw and land in Cyprus on the pretext of safety reasons; but now that the Americans and the Xiong people are cowarded, then he will definitely not
Damn! This is the rooster character of the Gauls.
Sometimes, flying is not entirely a technical issue, but also a political issue; if it is a passenger plane with hundreds of passengers on it, all the pilots will choose to go to other airports. Unless the city of Beirut completely gets rid of the chaos,
No matter what may or may not be safe.
But they are cargo planes with no passengers! The two crew members are now not only airline pilots, but also represent the government in some respects...
"How much fuel do we have left?"
Guy immediately replied, "Two and a half hours!"
Abel nodded, "It's enough for us to hover around for a long time! Although there may not be more than the British, but there are definitely more than the Hua people! We can afford to wait!"
This is a very real judgment, because Ouzhou is closer to here, and it will take longer for the Chinese to fly over, and their fuel redundancy is limited. This is actually why Director Qian wants to use Haiyang as much as possible
The reason for bringing fuel is because he has considered the reaction of these Japanese people. It may be a battle of patience. The ghosts are very weird.
Guy still has questions, "However, if we stay in the air for too long, we may not have enough time to unload and refuel after landing, and may miss the ceasefire window. Will it be more dangerous to take off again?"
Abel was very diplomatic, "No, Guy, you must develop a good habit! That is to only think about what is going to happen next, rather than focusing on things further away!
We only think about landing now! We don’t think about taking off after landing, that is what we should think about when drinking coffee at Beirut Airport!
As for the ceasefire agreement, does that mean anything? It can be extended or shortened. In this place, they don’t respect the contract, they only respect God...
Therefore, we must be cautious and even more cautious!”
