The three test pilots who followed the flight team to Canai are all Chinese. In fact, few ethnic groups can do better than the Chinese when it comes to learning. In the Johannesburg Medical College and Nyasaland University,
More than 80% of the students are Chinese, and more than 90% of the more than 200 test pilots trained by the Aviation Research Institute are Chinese, and the top ones among them are all Chinese. The three pilots are named: Lin Chengzhi, Xu Xiu, and Ethan. According to the scheduled procedure, the first pilot responsible for driving the "Strong Wind" across the English Channel is Lin Chengzhi. If Lin Chengzhi has physical problems and is unable to undertake the mission, then Xu Xiu will
Became the second choice, and finally Ethan.
In order to ensure the smooth completion of the mission, the three pilots have been recuperating since arriving in Jialai and did not attend the dinner last night.
Just now, Dr. Edward Chesterton checked the bodies of Xu Chengzhi and the three of them and confirmed that there were no health problems with the three of them, so Lin Chengzhi was still the first pilot.
As pilots, Lin Chengzhi and the three of them all have rich flying experience. Each of them has flown for more than one hundred hours. They may seem like novices in the 21st century, but don't forget that this is the beginning of the 20th century.
Most people have never even seen an airplane. Famous names such as the Wright Brothers may not have accumulated a hundred hours of flight time. Therefore, Lin Chengzhi and Xu Xiu are definitely the best in this era with their flying experience.
"Is there any problem?" Stewart Coffey was still very focused when he was in working mode. The physical condition of the three pilots was what Stewart Coffey was most concerned about.
"No problem, you can board the plane at any time!" Lin Chengzhi, three people lined up in a row, stood at attention and saluted, his voice loud and clear.
The reporters outside the cordon immediately started banging, banging, banging again.
Eddie Johnston was probably reminded by the senior management of the Daily Mail that he was currently in the camp of the Southern African flying team. When Lin Chengzhi and three people lined up to salute, Eddie Johnston did not have time.
Then they asked Lin Chengzhi and the other two people to line up next to the "strong wind" where they had already made preparations to take pictures, preparing to send the photos to the "Daily Mail" in the next few days.
The three of them, Lin Chengzhi, also cooperated very well. The three of them, who were similar in clothing, height, body shape, and even expressions, stood side by side in front of the "strong wind", leaving behind the first video of a southern African pilot in Europe.
It is estimated that Eddie Johnston does not understand the word "symbolic meaning" deeply enough, but this does not prevent Eddie Johnston from doing the right thing. With the advancement of technology, the importance of aircraft is constantly increasing.
Southern Africa is a rapidly rising new force in the world, and the Chinese are gradually emerging in the white world. In a few years, this photo will have profound symbolic meaning.
"Then let's get started, I wish you good luck -" Stuart Coffey didn't waste any time, shook hands with Lin Chengzhi and the other three, and then returned to the technical team.
Lin Chengzhi hugged Xu Xiu and Ethan respectively, and then entered the cabin with Xu Xiu and Ethan's envious eyes.
"Are we going to start flying across the English Channel now?" Eddie Johnston still doesn't understand Stuart Coffey's arrangements.
"Of course not. Today is just a test. Tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, we will officially fly across the English Channel." Stuart Coffey was not in a hurry. Rock's grand formation was definitely not just to fly across the English Channel. With this,
Taking the opportunity to recommend Nyasaland’s aircraft to the world is a serious matter.
"Hubbers Latham is preparing to fly across the English Channel today -" Eddie Johnston's assistant brought the latest news, which was immediately fed back to Stuart Coffey.
"It doesn't matter, whatever they want, 'Strong Wind' has no opponent at all. Even if they take away the thousand pounds, Nyasaland will be the biggest winner." Stuart Coffey was not in a hurry.
Just next to the camp of the Southern African flying team, Hubers Latham's plane was also ready.
However, compared with the orderly Southern African flying team, Hubers Latham's side is a bit chaotic.
Too many people were hired guns by Hubers Latham.
But after the Southern African flying team directly pulled out the armored vehicle, Hubers Latham's side immediately stopped.
Although Hubers Latham did not yet know the power of armored vehicles, looking at the ferocious large-caliber heavy machine guns and grenade launchers on the armored vehicles, and then looking at the revolvers and double-barreled shotguns in his hands, Hubers Latham
Sejm and the gunmen he hired really did not have the courage to challenge the professional soldiers of the Southern African federal government in the armored vehicles whether they dared to shoot.
Therefore, the gunners have pinned their hopes on Hubers Latham's aircraft, hoping to steal the spotlight from the Southern African flying team.
This can be considered a good thing, at least things are finally back on the right track.
However, as a result, there was a bit of chaos in Hubers Latham's camp. The gunmen who did not dare to challenge the armored vehicles gathered around Hubers Latham's plane. Hubers Latham and he
The assistant did not realize there was anything wrong with this, so when the propeller of Hubers Latham's plane began to rotate, one of the gunners curiously reached out his hand and wanted to touch the rapidly rotating propeller.<
/p>
I don’t know if curiosity can kill a cat, but it can really kill people.
Almost in an instant, the curious gunman was sucked into the propeller. Hubers Latham and his assistants had no time to stop him, and then the sky was shattered into pieces and raining blood——
The broken thing is the propeller.
So almost everyone was shocked by this tragic death, and then there were huge exclamations and screams. The reporters who were originally surrounding the southern African flying team camp ran desperately to Hubers Latham's camp.
The gunmen who were originally crowded around Hubers Latham's plane wanted to leave the scene as soon as possible, but suddenly there was a chaos of war and chaos.
"Okay, the problem is solved -" Eddie Johnston is still in the camp of the Southern African flying team. An emergency in Hubers Latham camp will naturally involve Eddie Johnston.
The assistant went to interview. It is estimated that the senior management of "Daily Mail" has put forward strict requirements for Eddie Johnston. In the next few days, no matter how breaking news happened in other camps, Eddie Johnston could only
Covering news about flying teams in southern Africa.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of news from the Southern Africa flying team.
Unlike the chaos at Hubers Latham's camp, the Southern African flight team was not affected by the accident. Lin Chengzhi in the cockpit didn't even notice what happened in Hubers Latham's camp.
I concentrated on checking that all the equipment in the cabin was operating normally, and then gave a thumbs up to the instructor standing in front of the plane holding two small red flags.
The ground crew immediately evacuated with various tools.
The security personnel immediately loaded the ammunition.
The medical team is ready to deal with any emergencies.
Everyone on the technical team looked solemn, and many people made signs of crosses on their bodies to pray for Lin Chengzhi and "Strong Wind".
This is the first time that aircraft from Southern Africa have performed publicly in front of the whole world, and there is absolutely no room for mistakes.
Other pilots, flight team staff, media reporters, and all the onlookers finally saw what a professional team is. All eyes were attracted to the pilot holding a small red flag to guide the plane. They definitely couldn't see it either.
You understand the semaphore, but you don’t realize it if you don’t understand it. Compared with the grassroots teams around them, the flying teams in Southern Africa are like the British royal family, while other flying teams are like African chiefs.
Including Katherine Wright's flight team.
"Quickly, quickly write down all these, remember all their processes, and then send a telegram to Wilbur and Orville. Next, we will also form such a team-" Catherine Wright no longer wanted to compete for the first time to fly across the English Channel.
This honor is unique to one person. Even if Catherine Wright was the first to fly across the English Channel, everyone's eyes would be on the Southern African flying team and attracted by the "strong wind".
However, the success of "Strong Wind" in Europe will not affect the Wright brothers' efforts to deceive the U.S. government. As long as they can get orders from the U.S. government, the Wright brothers can still make money.
Making money is the last word!
"I'm afraid it's difficult for us. For example, the guy holding the flag, do you understand these semaphores?" An assistant to Catherine Wright was also shocked. This gap is all-round. The flying team in southern Africa is like an alien.
They suddenly appeared like a human being, and then broke all the things that pilots had always been proud of.
Competition is so fierce and cruel.
"I don't understand, but we can design our own set of semaphores." Catherine Wright is not disappointed. Now, for Catherine Wright, it is no longer important whether she can sell the plane. She takes the opportunity to learn the process of the Southern African flight team, and then
Continuously improving the Wright Brothers' flying team is Katherine Wright's biggest goal.
It’s a worthwhile trip.
Under the guidance of the conductor, "Strong Wind" finally entered the scheduled runway. Then the conductor bowed his body and retreated to the side of the runway. He bent his legs sideways, pointed his index and middle fingers in the direction of the plane's takeoff, made a fist with the other fingers, turned his face away from the direction of takeoff, and posed
A peculiar gesture.
Yes, it’s the take-off posture that has been forwarded countless times. This is actually the take-off gesture for carrier-based aircraft, but at a time when aircraft have just appeared, if this action appears in the flight team in Southern Africa, it represents absolute professionalism.
, so this gesture is destined to hit the mainstream media in Europe in the next few days together with "Strong Wind".
