Great Power Fighting Falcon

After the adrenaline quickly subsided, Li Zhan slowly returned to his normal state. After taking off the oxygen mask, he felt a wave of nausea and then vomited on the instrument panel.

The sequelae of the large overload maneuver only appeared now.

Li Zhan shook his head helplessly and put on the oxygen mask again to avoid the smell of vomit.

"Dongyao, I have called off all the planes in the airspace in front of you. You can choose the appropriate altitude. Are you sure you want to make an emergency landing?" Xue Xiangdong asked seriously.

Li Zhan frowned and checked the various systems of the fighter. Except for the left engine that stopped and could not be restarted, the other systems were in normal condition, but he clearly felt that the trembling of the fighter had exceeded the limit.

"Yes, tower, I'm going to make an emergency landing on Highway 4, over." Li Zhan made a quick decision.

He couldn't even fly to the nearest Nankuchang station.

Highway 4 is a high-grade highway in the No. 4 area. It was built according to the specifications of a combat runway. It can be used as an emergency runway for fighter planes during wartime, and is mainly used for emergency landings of fighter planes. Li Zhan would not choose to make an emergency landing on a high-grade highway unless he had to, even though he could fly back to Beikuchang Station in another half hour and about 200 kilometers away.

He was worried that SU-27SK No. 01 would not be able to hold on for another half hour.

It is considered a success if the fighter plane can be completely landed on the ground. You must know that the relevant data obtained in today's encounter drill and the data recorded by the flight parameters on the fighter plane are very valuable. The most important thing is that Li Zhan still has hope for the No. 01 SU-27SK that has reached the end of its life. After all, it still has 200 hours to fly.

Xue Xiangdong was obviously asking for instructions. Forced landing was the last resort, and forced landing in the wild was no choice among options.

Approval was quickly obtained. The Beikuchang Station immediately contacted the Army Aviation Group stationed at the South Kuchang Station for training and asked them to send a transport helicopter to carry the emergency team of the 101 Brigade to Highway 4. At the same time, an emergency rescue convoy was dispatched as quickly as possible. Get to Route 4.

The attitude of the No. 01 SU-27SK is very good, and even the flight control can automatically trim. The left engine stopped and the thrust was unbalanced. If the flight control could not be trimmed, the pilot would need to control the tail rudder to keep the fighter flying straight. Li Zhan was very confused about the status of SU-27SK No. 01. The fuselage was shaking so badly, but all systems except the left engine were all normal.

At a speed of more than 250 kilometers per hour, it was flying slowly and steadily at an altitude of 3,000 meters, as steady as Mount Tai.

The more this happened, the more uneasy Li Zhan became.

The location of Highway 4 was very familiar to Li Zhan. It was a high-grade two-lane road that ran almost straight across the entire desert no-man's land. It could take off and land all current fighter jets and medium-sized transport aircraft of the Air Force in an emergency. In the directory of the 101st Brigade's alternate landing sites and forced landing areas, Highway 4 ranks quite high, but the 101st Brigade rarely uses this highway.

The tower kept reporting the relative position. Seeing that it was only more than 20 kilometers away, Li Zhan became more and more nervous.

He thought of the night when Sanhe fought against the flood, and the brief three months he spent with the old No. 101 J-8FR. Every inch of her skin, her engine nozzle, and her narrow cockpit were all so outstanding, like Like dark fireflies, they shine in the sky above Vientiane City Airport.

"Dongyao Hao Su Liangqi, just hold on. You'll be fine once you reach the ground. You must hold on. You and I have been dependent on each other for so many months. I can't give away a man with black hair and a man with white hair..."

"Dududu..."

"Choo Choo Choo……"

"Woooooooo..."

"Didi didi..."

"Da da da……"

In an instant, all the alarms in the cockpit rang rapidly at the same time, and even the radar alarms were chirping crazily. Li Zhan was immediately frightened. There would never be a fire control radar targeting him in Area 4. The only explanation is that the radar warning device failed.

All systems malfunctioned, and the unique alarm sounds of each system filled the entire cockpit, drowning Li Zhan in the frantic air.

The fighter plane was shaking violently, and all the data on the instrument panel was in chaos. The instrument pointers were scurrying around like a psychopath with no rules at all. However, apart from the trembling of the aircraft body, the fighter's flight attitude was not affected at all.

The combination of extreme abnormality and extreme normality is extremely dangerous.

Li Zhan was not worried about any problems with the fighter plane. As long as he met the criteria for abandoning the plane, he could immediately parachute to escape. However, the situation in front of him made him extremely entangled. Judging from the situation reflected on the cockpit instrument panel, the pilot had to abandon the plane immediately and escape. However, in fact, apart from shaking more violently, the fighter's flight attitude did not change much.

Just like driving a Volkswagen Passat that makes no sound but the horn and is ready to fall apart at any time and has a life-threatening function, running wildly on a desert road at a speed exceeding the speed limit, it is the best way and tool to commit suicide while traveling.

Li Zhan's heart jumped to his throat, and he didn't dare to let it go. He operated the controls with unprecedented caution, not daring to move the throttle lever so that the fighter plane could maintain its current speed and fly at a constant speed. His eyes quickly searched ahead for Highway 4.

"Tower, everything is going off except for the horn, but the fighter plane is controllable and stable. It's scary. It's over." Li Zhan reported the situation to Beiku Tower.

"Good luck, are the instrument data normal?" Xue Xiangdong asked sharply.

Li Zhan replied, "It's all chaos, it's over."

"Good luck, Highway 4 is fifteen kilometers ahead of you, over." Xue Xiangdong reported the relative position again.

"Understood, over."

This time it was really a blind maneuver, and it was a blind maneuver without flight data. Li Zhan couldn't get any data through the instruments, so he could only rely on guessing.

How to land safely in this situation?

Descent rate, ground altitude, airspeed, pitch angle, landing gear... Li Zhan had no way to obtain these data through instruments and screen displays. At this time, all the data displayed by the instrument and the screen display are wrong. The speed shows more than 2,500 kilometers per hour. Isn’t this a joke? Looking at the rate of decline, according to this rate of decline, Li Zhan would have hit the ground and been burned to charcoal!

"This is blind fucking in the truest sense of the word!"

Instead, Li Zhan was aroused to be competitive and said viciously, "I pulled the lever... The Falcon King of the West is not a wasted name. How can I get to where I am today without a break? I will bask in the cold with you today!"

Everyone at Beiku Tower was also busy in a solemn atmosphere. Of course they knew what kind of situation Li Zhan was facing. The most important thing was that at this moment, Li Zhan could not get timely and effective landing guidance from the tower. Everything can only depend on himself.

"The commander is going too far to deceive others. He clearly knows..."

"Shut up!" Xue Xiangdong scolded the unscrupulous Yang Jinshan, "Soldiers have to obey orders as their bounden duty. Have you forgotten what you do?"

Yang Jinshan didn't know about aerial surveying and mapping. Like everyone else, he only thought it was a comprehensive exercise of the Nighthawk Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron and the Eagle Falcon Brigade for tactical reconnaissance training. Naturally, he didn't know that Li Zhan was going to cover the No. 101 J-8FR. The spot checks and assessments accepted by the aircrew on the premise of completing the aerial surveying and mapping mission are the pre-enemy environment set by the aircrew.

As a result, everyone believed that the flight crew did not do a fair enough job in this surprise inspection.

"Zhang Yuan! Is the weather data of Highway 4 out? Hurry up!" Xue Xiangdong turned to call Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan is extremely busy. When the data comes out, he can't just report it here. As the chief meteorologist, he has to make judgment and analysis, especially when the pilot cannot obtain the data through the fighter's atmospheric data system. His judgment and analysis The results become even more important.

After a while, Zhang Yuan reported, "Report to the commander! With good luck, you can use runway 27! Enter from the east and land from the west! The wind is five meters and the wind direction is 90 degrees!"

Xue Xiangdong immediately informed Li Zhan, "Good luck, the wind is five meters and the wind direction is 90 degrees. You have to land from east to west. Runway 27 is over!"

"Runway 27, the wind is five meters, the wind direction is 90 degrees, I understand, it's over!" Li Zhan accurately recounted.

When Li Zhan stepped forward to search again, he finally saw a black line appearing on the ground in front of him, running east to west, cutting through the desert. There is only one high-grade highway in Area 4, and the black line ahead must be Highway 4.

"Tower, I see Highway 4. It's about...seven kilometers away. It's over." Li Zhan reported.

Yang Jinshan quickly took a look at the radar data and spent more than 20 seconds to complete the calculation. He gave a thumbs up and said, "His visual estimate is very accurate, it is seven kilometers."

However, he found that Xue Xiangdong looked solemn and did not seem to hear his words. It was Yang Jinshan who suddenly realized that the dangers facing Li Zhan at this moment were far more than these. Li Zhan was the backbone of the 101st Brigade. Xue Xiangdong had no intention of paying attention to other people until he landed safely. matter.

Many people are imagining that if Li Zhan flies a new fighter, such as the J-11A or J-11B, or even a slightly newer second-hand aircraft, will these problems occur? Fighter aircraft like the No. 01 SU-27SK, which is nearing the end of its lifespan, are generally only used by other forces to train new pilots. They will not fly very far and will not perform large overload maneuvers. It is certain that they will leave the combat readiness duty sequence and will only wait for the remaining ones to be consumed. be scrapped after their service life.

But the 101st Brigade cannot do this. Each of the sixteen SU-27 fighters must undertake a certain intensity of training tasks, and most of them need to participate in combat readiness duty. In the final analysis, it is still because of poverty or the failure of equipment replacement caused by lack of attention in the past.

Could it be said that Li Zhan's replacement of other SU-27SKs in the brigade will prevent these situations from happening? It is completely meaningless, because the remaining lifespan of the SU-27 fighters that the Falcon Brigade took over from the Second Division is basically the same, and other fighters are not necessarily comparable. No. 01 SU-27SK can handle it better.

Will the Second Division have such a problem? Will the Three Hundred Division have such a problem? They have a large number of new fighter planes, one is ready for combat, one is parked in the training hangar, and one is parked for health care.

Three feet of ice does not freeze in a day, and it will take time for the Western Rag King to completely reverse the situation.

From a pilot's point of view, Li Zhan's brutal flying style was such that he could soar to supersonic speeds and perform ten-G overload maneuvers, and the new aircraft might not be able to withstand it.

However, if he hadn't been so cruel, he would have failed in the air combat assessment of the previous encounter, not the SU-30MKI that simulated the Red Army.
