Chapter 245: A Different Airshow (Part 1)

At the end of November, many places in the north had already experienced heavy snowfalls, but the south was enjoying the crisp air of autumn.

Haizhu City, located in the Greater Bay Area and adjacent to the gambling city of Aogang, was experiencing a surge in popularity these past few days.

It wasn't because the gambling city had launched some promotional activities for gamblers and tourists, attracting gamblers from all over the country. Rather, it was because the biennial China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as the Haizhu Airshow) officially opened these days.

The Haizhu Airshow is one of the world's five major airshows, and because it is an important window for China to showcase its heavy new military equipment to the outside world, the airshow has always been exceptionally popular over the years.

This year's airshow attracted 1,022 companies from 47 countries and regions to participate, and it is said that even before the opening, more than 5 million online electronic tickets had been sold.

Aviation enthusiasts, military enthusiasts, and foreign military attachés from all over the country gathered, making the already bustling streets even more crowded.

Li Mo is a seasoned military enthusiast and professional video blogger in his 30s. For many years, he has frequently participated in various military equipment exhibitions at home and abroad, recording live videos through high-end photography equipment and publishing them on major video websites. Coupled with professional editing and copywriting explanations, he has accumulated hundreds of thousands of fans on the Internet.

Because he looks older than his age when he appears on camera, combined with his video account ID 'Military Depot,' he is affectionately called 'Old Mo of the Military Depot' by fans.

As soon as the Haizhu Airshow opened, Li Mo drove to the International Airshow Center with large and small bags.

The backpack was full of professional photography equipment, such as Canon's full-frame telephoto lens, DJI's gimbal, and Sony's camera, which are the basic standard equipment for photographers entering the venue.

Even Li Mo's own entry pass hanging on his chest was different from the package tickets for ordinary tourists.

He spent more than 3,000 yuan to obtain a professional invitation ticket from the exhibitors by virtue of his fame as a blogger with hundreds of thousands of fans, which allowed him to enter the exhibition one day in advance.

In addition, with this invitation ticket, he could also enter the booth for close-range observation.

Unlike ordinary tourists, who have to wait until the next day to enter the exhibition with a 500 yuan ticket.

Of course, Li Mo has also made many like-minded friends after being in the military fan circle for a long time.

As soon as he entered the venue, he ran into several UP masters from military channels who were also carrying long and short cannons.

"Old Mo!"

"You came as soon as the museum opened at 9 o'clock? Not bad!"

"Hehe~ Chasing the latest information. I heard that a lot of new equipment will be released this year, so I'll find a good spot to squat for material early."

"I wonder if the H-20, that water molecule, will come out. The official blog has been brewing for several months."

"Have you seen the promotional video? There seems to be a water sub-venue this year! That Tiger Whale unmanned boat seems to have entered the port, and it's gone crazy in the group."

They were all hardcore military fans and professionals who made a living from this, and once they started chatting, they were endless.

After all, in the past few years, China's military industry system has exploded, and all kinds of new equipment are dazzling, and the military fan circle is as lively as celebrating the Spring Festival every day.

So, after exchanging the clues and intelligence they each had, the group of video bloggers dispersed.

Li Mo also found a good spot to set up his equipment, adjusted the lens, and aimed it at the take-off and landing runway facing the sea, planning to shoot some material to go back and edit the video.

Because it was the first day of the opening, ordinary tourists could not enter the venue.

Those who came were rich brothers with professional tickets, and tens of thousands of people scattered in various areas of the airshow center seemed a bit lacking in popularity.

But everyone with discerning eyes knows that the first day of the airshow is for preheating.

Most of the domestic and foreign aviation equipment will be prepared to land on the runway of Jinwan Airport in front of them on this day, and then obey the dispatch and arrangement to dock at the aircraft exhibition area of the airshow center.

Therefore, the professional photography area where Li Mo stood has become a must-争之地 for military fans at every Haizhu Airshow!

This is the only place where you can shoot dynamic equipment at such a close distance.

Before ordinary tourists could enter the venue, it was already filled with a group of military fan photographers with black and white telephoto lenses.

"Hiss~"

"There are really a lot of people this year!"

"When ordinary tourists are released tomorrow, won't this place squeeze the shit, pee, and farts into their pockets?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Grab a spot quickly, the area near the railing is almost full!"

A group of photographers were talking about it.

Fortunately, the weather was beautiful. In the past two days, the blue sky and white clouds of Haizhu City and the sea breeze have dispersed the dust and mist in the air, and the visibility is high, so the footage taken is clear.

As soon as he set up the equipment and adjusted the lens and frame parameters, Li Mo, who was mixed in the crowd, heard a roar overhead.

Looking up, a team of J-10 aerobatic aircraft painted in dark blue roared from a distance, pulling colored smoke.

The neat and uniform flight movements made the group of military fans present excited.

"It's the 'August 1st' aerobatic team!"

"The 'Red Eagle' trainer - 8 is following behind, the official opening!"

There was a cheer in the photography area.

After getting up early to rush to the show, there is finally material to shoot.

But for seasoned military fans like Li Mo, these J-10 aerobatic aircraft and the white trainer - 8 that followed behind have long been tired of seeing.

Because there are several large-scale airshows held in China every year, these two are the premiere performances.

After watching it too much, there is nothing new, just pulling smoke and doing some difficult stunts such as spirals, tail-sliding maneuvers, tail-sliding maneuvers, somersaults, 8 characters or S characters.

So, after pressing the shutter a few times at the sky and啧啧ing twice, Li Mo patiently waited for the subsequent equipment to enter the venue.

But I didn't expect that the August 1st and Red Eagle aerobatic teams had just finished showing off and started preparing to land on the airport runway.

At the end of the sky, a fleet of aircraft different from the previous Haizhu Airshow flew over!

I saw six red, blue, and white heavy fighters, led by a fighter jet also painted with aerobatic paint, pulling smoke from far to near.

The roar of the twin-engine directly ignited the enthusiasm of the military fans present!

Because everyone found that these aerobatic aircraft in the lens were not domestic aircraft, but Russian aircraft with eye-catching rivets and rough skin, and the craftsmanship was obviously poor!

"Fuck!"

"It's Su-35 and Su-30!"

"This... this is the Russian Knights aerobatic team!"

"Did this year's airshow actually invite the Great Russia over?"

Listening to the discussions around him, Li Mo's adrenaline kept secreting and he kept pressing the shutter of the camera in his hand.

As the saying goes, foreign monks are good at chanting sutras.

The domestic J-10 has been photographed eight hundred years ago, and this team of Soviet fighters flying from Siberia can just attract the attention of military fans.

In addition, in the past Haizhu Airshows, there has never been a Russian or even a foreign aerobatic team.

The entry show of the Russian Knights Aerobatic Team has aroused a lot of reverie.

"Could there be a big surprise this year?"

"The official is giving out benefits!"

"The airshow program list has been covered for so long, I never thought that the Russians would be invited!"

After taking hundreds of photos, Li Mo took a deep breath, with a smile on his face similar to the New Year.

It's just that this excitement hasn't passed, and a more important model followed from behind the Knights aerobatic team.

It was a gray-white painted flat aircraft, which looked like a fallen leaf from a distance.

As soon as it appeared, there was a gasp of cold air in the photography area.

Including Li Mo himself, he exclaimed: "Fuck! Su-57!"

"Did the Russian fifth-generation aircraft also come?"
