The fertile soil flying training base is a comprehensive base newly built by HNA for the training of carrier-based fighter pilots and the testing of relevant facilities on the ship. It is inaccurate for many people to call it an air force base, although there is one more than ten kilometers away from it.
It is an air force base that is no smaller than Xixian Station.
After the Feisha training started, HNA did not have its own professional training venue. Yanliang Flying Test Institute could only provide simple takeoff training and no more related training facilities. It was the same year that Li Zhan left the army at the end of 2008.
HNA is determined to build its own flying training base, and the fertile land flying training base came into being.
On a sunny morning in February, Li Zhan drove the No. 037 J-7egg from Sichuan to the fertile land of fertile soil flight training base, and from the still warm land of Sichuan to the shore of the Bohai Sea where a snow had just fallen.
While flying five sides above the fertile soil flying training base, Li Zhan took the opportunity to observe this dream base of "going from here to aircraft carrier".
The base is right by the sea, with a large chunk of the flight area, surrounded by the sea on three sides, just like a huge aircraft carrier sailing through the sea with waves. The two take-off and landing training areas have a very outline similar to the aircraft carrier's flight deck, which shows that it is not just
Training pilots, all relevant support teams on the flight deck can carry out training here. In fact, it is clearly the one-to-one land flight deck of the aircraft carrier flight deck. Even the tower has been built into a ship island, so it should not be called a tower.
It is a land-simulated ship island.
It is said that the place where the next air force base was borrowed for training was only simple take-off and landing training facilities, ski jump tracks, blocking zones, etc. The training of the other support personnel must be carried out in other places, so the collaborative training of the entire process and the entire department could not be carried out.
The completion of the fertile soil flying training base has greatly accelerated the training of carrier-based fighter jet troops.
When landing, Li Zhan also noticed that the living area next to the flight area was still under construction, which shows how urgent HNA needs this base, and how tight the progress of the flying shark training was.
The No. 037 J-7egg landed. Under the guidance of the guide vehicle, it drove through the taxiway in front of a row of arched hangars and stopped until the open-air apron. Tang Leilei and Zhang Xueyang were wearing standard blue air force.
The flight suit, but there is an extra floating collar, that is, the life jacket on the neck. In addition, they are all "Air Force", and even their armbands are "Chinese Air Force Aviation Force".
The weather is good today, with the sea breeze blowing for thousands of miles. You can clearly see the sun above your head, which is completely different from the heavy snowy weather yesterday.
Tang Leilei and Zhang Xueyang didn't take off their big sunglasses, and waited for the flight to quickly mount the No. 037 J-7egg on the boarding ladder, and smiled and strode towards him.
Li Zhan stood up from the cockpit, turned around and carried the carry bag on the small partition behind the seat. Seeing Tang Leilei stretching out his hands, he smiled and threw the carry bag down. Tang Leilei accurately caught it, but
Unexpectedly, the carrying bag was surprisingly heavy and almost couldn't catch it. He said in surprise, "Captain, what are you loading with such a heavy thing?"
"It's just some books." Li Zhan came down.
It is easy to be a soldier, from the commander of the division to the small soldier, you can get a full amount of 80 liters of backpack. No matter where you go, you can get the backpack and go. It was called to get a backpack a long time ago.
After all, it is a bit taller and more expensive. It uses a dedicated aviation carry bag and takes personal belongings and leaves.
Zhang Xueyang gave a chic military salute, pointing to Li Zhan's old-fashioned winter black flight jacket and white flight helmet, and pointed to the 037 J-7egg, which is basically unrecognizable. "Old Li, what is your outfit saying
, Dong Sanguai's appearance has changed. You have to keep up with your pace when you are dressed in this way. Look at it now, in the 1960s, Dong Sanguai's appearance is a bit like a Fiery Dragon."
Although Zhang Xueyang and Tang Leilei were wearing loose blue flight suits that looked old-fashioned, compared with the black leather jackets worn by Li Zhan, it was trendy and cutting-edge. Li Zhan really looked like he had been in the 1960s and 1970s.
Just like a person who travels to this future world, he is like an old-fashioned young man.
"What's wrong with the winter flight suit?" Li Zhan landed on the ground, returned the favor with a smile, and looked at Zhang Xueyang. The damn colonel was already there, "You are also wearing an Air Force model, so no one can tell each other."
The three of them burst into laughter, and the old comrades met again and were very excited.
Currently HNA does not have its own flight suits, and as the first carrier-based fighter unit, the Flying Shark unit must set an early start to equip flight equipment specially developed for naval pilots.
The most concerned military fans in the past two years are probably the progress of the aircraft carrier modification. Since the Varyag officially entered the modification process, many people who were not originally military fans have also become military fans. It can be seen that aircraft carriers are in order to enhance the confidence of the Chinese people.
How important and critical it is.
In the army, with the Varyag modification as the center, the relevant work of establishing the naval carrier-based aviation unit was fully launched, among which the training of carrier-based fighter pilots was the top priority.
Most people have a misunderstanding that the Chinese naval carrier-based aircraft unit started from flying sharks, but it is not actually the case. Since the dolphins were on board, the Chinese navy has actually owned the carrier-based aircraft unit, but for a long time it has been
Just a carrier-based helicopter. So to be rigorously said, Feisha is the first carrier-based fighter unit of the Chinese Navy, and the "Ship-based Aviation Force" includes all flying troops with ships as the platform.
For a long time, people have not been able to distinguish the difference between air force pilots and naval pilots. Is the same plane and the same dress and the same station just because of the different affiliates? That's because we have not had aircraft carriers for a long time.
Navy pilots should take off from sea!
From this perspective, the fertile soil flying training base can be called the cradle of naval pilots.
The full name of the Flying Shark Force is "Naval Aviation XX Ship-Board Aviation Force", and its external name is the Navy Unit 404. Zhang Xueyang is the first in the Second Division to complete the final assessment and enter the Flying Shark Force, while Tang Leilei is the first in the 101st Brigade.
When Li Zhan began to carry out the J-16 actual test flight mission, Tang Leilei participated in the selection at the end of last year, and passed the hurdles and successfully entered the flying shark army with extremely solid skills.
Zhang Xueyang has become a teacher...
This made Li Zhan feel a little unbalanced. When he was in the army, he was the captain company, and Zhang Xueyang was the captain of the major battalion. Later, he finally became the captain. Zhang Xueyang had already become the deputy commander, and now he is even more
He was further promoted to the colonel and was a regiment-level instructor of the Feisha Training Team. Although he had no position, his salary was no less than Li Zhan's two "should" (street).
Li Zhan is the only two old comrades in the Feisha Training Team, and Tang Leilei is still an old subordinate.
Zhang Xueyang was observing around the No. 037 J-7egg, and the more he looked, the more he became, the more confused he asked, "Old Li, is your aircraft still a J-7? Why do I look more and more like the Fox Dragon?"
"The predecessor of the Xiaolong is J-7, which was called Super Seven. The last improvement was made by Beiku Repair Factory. It is relatively simple and crude, with an organic back-retaining fuel tank. This time, it was changed in Chengfei for several months and all of them were overturned.
It’s fine, you can’t tell if you look at the back-retained fuel tank. It’s well integrated with the fuselage and optimized the aerodynamic shape.”
Li Zhan simply pointed at the detailed introduction. He was also surprised when he saw the No. 037 J-7egg after "plastic surgery". This broken plane really made Cheng Fei's engineers trouble.
The crew also widened their eyes and looked at them. They had never seen any plane, but they had never seen this plane.
Li Zhan pointed to the wings and said, "The Fox Dragon is a delta wing, the J-7 e and subsequent models are double delta wings. This time, Cheng Fei optimized the double delta wings again, pay attention to whether the wing area is larger,
I took off and only slid for more than 200 meters. Looking at the air intake, the changes here are the biggest, and the most similar to the Xiaolong. In fact, the DSI air intake technology on the Xiaolong is used.
It's the clam-type air intake. Other improvements are not obvious, but look at the two antennas added on the back of the aircraft. The avionics system of this aircraft has been replaced. It is said that it was newly created by Chengfei Research Institute.
, there are some technologies of the J-10 C-type and fourth-generation aircraft. Let me say that, my Dongsanguai’s avionics system is comparable to the F-16, and is at the same level as the J-11 modification."
There are many technologies between the JF-10 and the fourth-generation aircraft. The manufacturer consciously experimented with the former to use some technologies that were used on the fourth-generation aircraft, and also used them on the J-10c. In fact, many new technologies are used.
The Fifthlon was the first to use. Although the Air Force and Navy are not interested in small aircraft like the Fifthlon, the Fifthlon plays an important role in practical new technologies.
Some people even maliciously speculate that many of the JF-16's avionics technology were copied from the F-16, which is pure slander.
"Take off for more than 200 meters. If you add the leap deck, wouldn't your hole be on the ship?" Zhang Xueyang was surprised and shook his head helplessly and joked.
Tang Leilei also smiled and said, "Captain, is it okay to go to the J-7 aircraft carrier?"
Li Zhan said seriously, "Why can't it?"
Everyone was really surprised now - the little prince of pulling the rod is not serious, right?
Li Zhan pointed to the landing gear and said, "Look clearly, strengthened landing gear. If this is not convincing, please go to the tail of the machine to take a look, and retract and place the tail hook."
He quickly took off his big sunglasses, and Zhang Xueyang quickly checked the landing gear carefully, and his face suddenly changed. He turned to the tail of the machine to look for it, and he easily found the hidden tail hook, and he was in a bad mood.
Zhang Xueyang didn't know what expression should be shown, his tone was very complicated. He said, "Damn, can your plane really be on the ship? Is this still an improvement? Is it a rebuilt? I remember how many of your planes have been before.
A serious injury, can the strength of the fuselage be visible?”
"Whether you can get on the ship depends on your superiors, but there is no problem with on-land simulation training." Li Zhan said proudly with his hands behind his back.
Getting on the ship and training on land are two different things.
Tang Leilei smiled bitterly and said, "Captain, what you said before was true. It really made Dongsanguai have the ability to board the ship."
"Of course I don't have the final say." Li Zhan explained, "The main reason is that the manufacturers have the need to test new technologies. The troops cannot spend so much money on an old second-generation fuselage."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xueyang suddenly realized, nodded slightly and said, "That's right, so many major improvements, I'm afraid that I can buy a new plane for the money for improvement."
Li Zhan smiled and said, "The manufacturer told me that the resources spent on Dongsangui these times can create a new J-10, especially this time, the engine has been replaced, and the thrust is more than the rd-
The 93 is much bigger, but there is still some difference with the Taihang used by J-10. However, for the three-cord holes with a maximum take-off weight of only ten tons, the thrust redundancy is very, very enough."
Tang Leilei interrupted, "It must be the manufacturer who thinks you are lucky, captain, so he handed over this task to you."
"Good luck is coming, you may really have to paint the flying sharks in the future..."
Seeing Li Zhan’s solemn appearance, Zhang Xueyang smiled and said, “Old Li, this is not like your style. You never believe in luck.”
"The three thousand-meter runway becomes more than one hundred meters. In the future, you have to take off and land on the tip of the knife. It will be smoother with luck. But you are right. The blacksmith must be strong himself. After all, it depends on your own skills.
"Li Zhan said.
After chatting for a few more words, Zhang Xueyang said, "We will take you to the dormitory for your luggage. You will go and report to Mr. Chen immediately. Knowing that you are here today, he will wait in the office."
"Okay, I'll go there first and go back to the dormitory to meet."
Li Zhan handed over the luggage and other items to Zhang Xueyang and Tang Leilei, jumped on an old land cruiser commuter vehicle. When the driver stepped on the accelerator, the car turned the huge snow tires to the distance under the action of the eight-cylinder engine.
Go to the office area.
The base looks deserted everywhere, and the airport is characterized by no trees. In addition, it is the shore of the Bohai Sea and it is winter, so it looks even more deserted. There are no training tasks today, and there are no related activities. The construction site in the distance is in full swing.
.
Like all airports, the office area is composed of two or three-story buildings, and the height is not very high, so it is usually chosen to lengthen and widen. This is the case with the office building, like a flat four-corner building.
No staff officer greeted him. After Li Zhan stopped him and asked the head coach's office, he went straight to the "head coach's office".
The door was open. When Li Zhan was standing at the door shouting for a report, his eyes were about to pop out when he saw the head coach behind the desk.
"Political Commissar Chen!?"
Is the chief coach political commissar Chen?
It turned out that Chen Zhengwei, the political commissar of the training base where he was trained.
"I'm here, come in and sit."
Chen Zhengwei put down his pen, smiled and pointed to the chair in front of the desk, looked at Li Zhan who was standing next to him and nodded slightly, "Boy, has it fallen into my hand again? Well, it looks good, the young man is very tall
It's big."
Li Zhan was amused and crying, "Old Chief, how could it be you?"
Who would have thought that the head coach of the Feisha Training Team was the political commissar and political commissar of the Air Force Training Base, although Old Chen was an old pilot and has been flying for more than 20 years.
"Who do you look down on me? Just Xu Fang Damazi is promoted and I, Lao Chen, will not change my position?"
"No, no, no, it's just this, this is too unexpected, you are a political worker!"
"Does the chief coach have to be a military cadre?"
“…”
ps: Let’s go to the big chapter first, there will be some tonight.
