When people concentrate on one thing, they will feel that time flies by.
This is exactly what Wang Yu is doing now. He is learning to fly the F-15E at the base, and his days are passing by like this.
In the blink of an eye, summer passes and autumn comes.
Wang Yu has been living in this sand island base for nearly two months.
During this period, the "elite training" of the new pilots was also in full swing.
Normally when Wang Yu and the instructor are learning about the F-15E system through the trainer aircraft in the hangar, they can see various fighter planes rising into the sky from time to time on the other side of the runway.
These newcomers have a variety of fighter aircraft, from Flanker to Rafale, from Fighting Falcon to MiG, there are all kinds of aircraft.
But fortunately, the Imperial Air Force has unified these fighters into a logistics system, and these newcomers' fighters have dedicated ground support teams responsible for maintenance, so it does not have any impact on the normal operation of the base.
Although Wang Yu envied them being able to fly in the sky, he was not impatient.
As a student, he knows that in the process of learning a new aircraft, the most important thing is to avoid arrogance and impetuosity.
After completing the first month of study, Wang Yu had thoroughly read a flight manual, borrowed the F-15E trainer aircraft, and had a clear understanding of the fighter's avionics, systems, and logic. To put it simply, he
The theoretical knowledge is enough.
Instructor Xu is very satisfied with his student.
As a flight instructor, what he admires most are students who are willing to study hard and have strong understanding.
Wang Yu has sufficient flight awareness, so there is no need for Instructor Xu to say anything more in this regard. The latter can only teach the F-15E aircraft, so the teaching progress is very fast.
Theoretical knowledge is like the foundation of a building. Only if the theoretical knowledge is solid enough can a tall building be built from the ground up.
Therefore, at the end of the first month, instructor Xu conducted a test for Wang Yu, asking him to sit in the cockpit and perform various steps related to the fighter system, including cold start, in-flight emergency troubleshooting, fighter system inspection and other processes. And Wang Yu naturally passed the test smoothly.
So in the second month, Instructor Xu brought teaching from the ground to the air.
Wang Yu can finally fly into the blue sky on a fighter plane again.
In the first half of the month, instructor Xu flew and demonstrated what operations should be performed in various situations, while Wang Yu watched the instructor's various operation steps from his seat.
In the second half of the month, instructor Xu began to let Wang Yu try to fly. He monitored from behind and gave some suggestions and requirements from time to time, allowing Wang Yu to quickly implement them in a short period of time to enhance Wang Yu's ability to fly.
Proficiency.
So by the end of the second month, Wang Yu had already had nearly fifty hours of flight time. Even if instructor Xu dozed off in the back seat, he could complete the operation of flying the fighter plane into the sky, patrolling the air, and then returning home and landing smoothly. His inherent flight consciousness gave him a unique advantage in controlling the flight of fighter planes. After understanding the control logic of fighter planes, he even flew much more stably than some official pilots.
Even in the occasional formation training, he can steadily follow the side of the formation leader.
Instructor Xu had no chance to shout out words such as "I hit the throttle when I closed the throttle" and "Where is the belly of the aircraft"...
Instructor Xu occasionally mentioned some emergencies as temporary tests, and Wang Yu had to deal with them immediately as required.
In short, after this month, Wang Yu successfully honed his flying skills on the trainer aircraft.
The time finally came to the third month, which was also the last month of learning and training for his new fighter.
He also already has the qualification to fly solo on the F-15E.
At the beginning of the month, instructor Xu took Wang Yu to the hangar.
Also coming at the same time was Liu Lingxin, who was the fighter weapon system controller.
During the third month, he will fly the F-15E for weapons system training, so the weapons system control officer has to start working. Many times - especially in ground attack, her role is indispensable.
Missing.
The hangar door opened, and parked inside was a brand-new F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet painted entirely in black.
At this time, some ground crews are inspecting this fighter aircraft.
Compared with the F-15C, the F-15E feels obviously more stable. Not only has the factory paint been changed from silver gray to black, but also because the E-type has additional paint next to the air inlet for battery life.
A thick layer of conformal fuel tanks is installed, so the fuselage of the entire fighter jet appears much wider.
There are many fuselage mounting points outside the conformal fuel tank, which are used to mount densely packed bombs and pods.
But don’t think that the Strike Eagle is a full-time ground attack fighter-bomber. Although this fighter changes the F-15’s characteristic of “not having a pound to attack the ground”, it comprehensively strengthens its attack capabilities on the basis of the F-15C.
However, such changes do not mean that its air combat performance has been ignored.
The F-15E is often compared with the Su-34, but in fact there is basically no comparison between the two.
The former is a comprehensive fighter. If necessary, the F-15E can also be an excellent air superiority fighter.
The excellent F100-PW-229 engine gives it the ability to maximize its energy advantage. The improved AN/APG-70 fire control radar is more advanced than the F-15C's APG-63. The changes in aerodynamic shape, although
It affects the maneuverability of the F-15E to a certain extent, but this impact is not a hindrance. Instead, the improvements in the flight control system make the fighter's maneuverability even better than the C-type at some speeds.
To put it simply, although the air-to-air configuration has not changed much compared to the F-15C, in fact, this fighter does not lick the ground, but carries air-to-air missiles to perform pure air superiority missions.
Not inferior.

"This is your future fighter."
Instructor Xu nodded to Wang Yu, and then he saw Liu Lingxin standing next to him with a serious military posture: "In other words, your fighter... you already have the ability to fly this fighter, so in the next month
Within, you will conduct a series of in-depth training - although the pilots and weapons control officers have their own tasks, if you want to unleash the combat power of this fighter plane, you need cooperation between you, so you also need to strengthen your relationship with the other party.
The ability to cooperate among others.”
Wang Yu thought of one thing: "Report!"
"Say."
"How will the instructor train us next?"
"Regarding this, when you need me, I will fly beside you in a training aircraft to monitor your flight conditions and make comments. Of course, it may also be a temporary confrontation with you."
Instructor Xu looked at the trainer aircraft parked on the tarmac in the distance - she had completed her mission: "But if you don't need me, I will use the system of the base to watch the tactical replay after you finish the flight.
Your flight."
After saying these words, he paused for a moment: "Any more questions?"
"Report to instructor, no more."
"Very good, then get ready to board the plane. It's already late today, so the flight mission is very simple. There is a flight plan in the lap board on your knees. After you board the plane, take off and fly along the navigation points.
, then use the TACAN navigation to return to the base and land. Do you understand? Very good, disband now."
After Instructor Xu finished speaking, he walked aside to mind his own business.
Wang Yu looked at this dark heavy fighter plane, which was almost twice the size of the MiG-21 he had flown before, and couldn't help but look forward to it.
This is my future fighter.
At this time, a ground crew member came over and said to them: "Mr. Lieutenant, and Ms. Second Lieutenant, the ground preparation of this fighter plane has been completed. You can board the plane. We will help you pull the fighter plane out of the hangar and connect it to the aircraft."
Ground power."
Wang Yu turned the flight helmet he held in his hand in a circle, then buckled it on his head and walked towards the fighter plane first.
But he did not board the plane immediately, but conducted a round of inspection.
Then, when no one else noticed, he took out Irene's spiritual core and gently touched it on the fighter plane.
For a while, no one noticed that a faint light flickered briefly on the fighter plane.
No one knows that Wang Yu looks like he is checking around the aircraft, but he is actually doing it to allow Irene to complete the assimilation with the fighter plane.
Wang Yu will never forget his machine girl partner.
They are also eager to fly.
Since this fighter plane will be hers in the future, it is time for her to adapt to the feeling of assimilating with the new aircraft.
