Great Power Fighting Falcon

At 5:30 in the morning, Li Zhan stood at the door of the maintenance workshop with a flight helmet under his right rib and white labor protection gloves in his left hand. He looked at the dark sky and sighed slightly.

All pre-flight preparations have been completed.

But it was pouring rain outside at the moment, making him feel like he was in the rainy season in the south.

This weather is a bit abnormal. In previous years, there was no such heavy rain around the Spring Festival in central Sichuan. It’s not scary to have a lot of rain. What’s scary is the sharp drop in visibility caused by the rain and the accompanying strong winds. The cloud map shows that the cumulonimbus clouds on the plateau have not yet left the plateau. It should be calm, but it is windy and rainy.

Li Zhan refused to give up and waited in the maintenance workshop.

Waiting until 7:30, he saw that the wind stopped and the heavy rain turned into light drizzle. The most important thing was that the sky was bright and the visibility met the requirements.

He immediately said to Yu Niandong, who was guarding him, "Is it the window? I request to take off immediately."

Yu Niandong didn't say much, and immediately contacted the weather station, and then said, "Yes, half an hour at most. Are you sure you want to fly?"

"Sure." Li Zhan said without hesitation.

Yu Niandong immediately applied to the tower. The tower had been waiting and thought it was a window that could be used, and then decisively approved Li Zhan's take-off request.

Li Zhan shook hands with Yu Niandong neatly and said goodbye, and quickly entered the cockpit of No. 037 J-7E along the boarding ladder. The ground power supply vehicle started the engine. Li Zhan quickly checked the status of each system and confirmed that it was normal. The ground controller gave the signal to slide out. Li Zhan pushed the throttle lever to release the brake, and drove the fighter slowly out of the maintenance workshop.

The entire flight area was deserted, and the few J-10B multi-purpose medium-sized fighter jets that were to be delivered to the troops had not yet been painted and were brought back to the hangar early last night. The lonely No. 037 J-7EGG light fighter with low-visibility gray paint on the vertical tail and the Devil's logo is taxiing quickly along the taxiway. The left red and right green navigation lights and landing gear lights are clearly visible.

"Tower, I aimed at the runway and took off directly. It's over." Li Zhan called the tower.

The tower replied, "You can take off directly at the third turn of the cave. Please note that we have just received a request from civil aviation and a passenger plane has diverted to a first-class airport. You take off and climb to 3000 degrees to give up the airspace. Do you understand?"

"Dong Sanguai understands, take off to 30 degrees and climb to 3,000, over."

Li Zhan replied that after pushing the throttle lever all the way and the engine speed reached the standard, he released the brakes and the fighter plane was pushed forward wildly. The acceleration performance was significantly improved compared to before.

The No. 037 J-7EGG carrying three auxiliary fuel tanks roared off the ground, retracted its landing gear, turned right to a heading of 30 degrees, and then continued to climb at a large angle. The personnel on duty at the tower were amazed by the smoothness that was more skillful and neat than that of a test pilot.

Everyone has heard about the shadow of famous trees in the west. There was a pilot who was very good at pulling sticks at Beikuchang Station in the west. In two years, he had flown 1,200 hours. Everyone has a clear understanding of this concept, but the specific level of the pilot can only be intuitively understood by seeing it with one's own eyes.

It’s really awesome!

They are all experts. They interact with the control tower and the test pilots every day. They know clearly what movements and reactions are and what their level is. You can see everything at a glance.

The tower did not forget to call Li Zhan, "Dong Sanguai, adjust frequency XXXX.XX, contact Lan Zhi, you follow his command, over."

"Dong Sanguai received it, adjusted the frequency XXXX.XX, followed Lan Zhi's command, completed."

Li Zhan quickly adjusted the frequency and called Lan Zhi, "Dong Sanguai, call Lan Zhi, frequency XXXX.XX, over."

"I'm Lan Zhi. I'm waiting for radar recognition at the third turn of the cave. It's over." Lan Zhi responded quickly. The regional ground command post has full personnel on duty 24 hours a day.

Li Zhan flew levelly in the northeast direction at an altitude of 3,000 meters, waiting for Orchid Finger's radar recognition.

"The cave has three turns, the radar has identified it, and the friend or foe has been identified. Keep the altitude of 15,000 on course. Be careful, there are large-scale cumulonimbus clouds in front of you. Over." Lan Zhi's voice was very energetic, not at all strange. Made it through the night.

Li Zhan said, "Understood. Keep the altitude of 15,000 on course. There are cumulonimbus clouds ahead. It's over."

He was extremely puzzled. Aren't the large cumulonimbus clouds in the west? Why did they go to the northeast? Is it another cumulonimbus cloud? It’s not surprising that this season is when the cold air continues to move southward in waves from Siberia. There are too many cumulonimbus clouds produced by the hot and cold convection. It is definitely the large-scale clouds that Lanzhi needs to pay special attention to. If the clouds are small, the pilot can bypass them with a simple evasion after visually detecting them.

There were too many impossibilities in this trip, so Li Zhan didn't dare to use afterburner randomly, otherwise he would burn out all the fuel in advance and he would have to make an alternate landing. If the pilot performs irregular operations during the transition and causes an alternate landing, the pilot will be punished, possibly punished.

Every time a dangerous situation arises, the first thing the investigation team must rule out is whether the pilot's control actions were in compliance with regulations. An incident occurred in the 101st Brigade. Han Hongjun pressed the wrong button and released the parachute while flying on the edge of the third turn. This was a very serious personal accident. If Li Zhan hadn't ensured that both the man and the machine landed safely, Han Hongjun would definitely have been punished. More often than not, it is a mechanical failure. Under normal circumstances, the machine operator will take the blame. No matter how good the situation is, he will still be criticized for "not being rigorous in his work."

Continuing to climb, without using afterburner, Li Zhan chose to climb at an appropriate angle, which would result in the highest climb rate under the most fuel-efficient conditions.

Li Zhan looked at the altitude watch from time to time. The height climbed stubbornly from three thousand to larger numbers, four thousand, five thousand, six thousand, swinging, swinging, spinning, jumping...

"Lan Zhi! I stalled and entered a tail spin, the altitude is 6,000!"

At that moment, Li Zhan felt as if he was suddenly pulled out and thrown into the strong air current while he was sitting on the sightseeing cable car enjoying the beautiful scenery, and his whole body was spinning in a whirlpool.

The strong airflow came very suddenly, and Li Zhan could clearly feel that it was coming from the west. It overturned the fighter plane in one breath, the wing tips stalled instantly, and the fighter plane lost control and entered a tail spin. The scene was like a child throwing a poorly folded paper airplane, barely flying a few meters, then spinning in circles and falling straight down.

Li Zhan couldn't even throw away the auxiliary fuel tank.

The instantaneous overload reached 10 G. Unfortunately, Li Zhan's condition was not very good today. The moment the report was completed, he quickly fell into a semi-conscious state after black vision, with only a trace of consciousness remaining in his mind.

"Dong Sanguai? Dong Sanguai! Can you change it? Can you change it! Dong Sanguai?"

Lan Zhi kept calling Li Zhan, and his voice became louder and louder. Li Zhan finally slowly regained his full consciousness. When he looked at Hai Gao, there were only four thousand. Below are mountains three thousand meters above sea level.

"Come on, come on, old man, change out, follow me out, come on, come on!" Li Zhan said silently in his heart, repeating the change action.

No. 037 J-7EGG showed no reaction and continued to spin and jump towards the mountain.

"Throw out the auxiliary fuel tank!" Li Zhan made a decisive decision to reduce the weight.

no response.

Tried again, still no response.

Li Zhan gave up the action of throwing out the auxiliary fuel tank and continued to repeat the recovery action. Even though he is a falcon boss, there is no second option at this moment. The solution plan was obtained with the blood of the predecessors, and every action was the most correct.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Li Zhan was ready to parachute.
