Take Off My Aviation Era

Upon hearing that there was a gift, Owen stopped his movements and looked at Ning Xiaodong suspiciously.

Ning Xiaodong smiled unabatedly: "I heard that you are going back to the United States. I specially made a custom gift for you." He took out a metal box.

Owen stood up immediately. There is no way that foreigners still value gifts, especially custom-made cakes, custom-made rings, anyway, no matter what is custom-made, it is tall, afraid that it is just a humble gadget. , They will all be very happy, because what they value is not the thing itself, but the mind.

So before Ning Xiaodong took the things out, Owen was already so happy that he didn't know what to say, he kept watching Ning Xiaodong smile: "Ning, my good brother, I never thought you would send me Gift, this is the first gift I received in China, really, no matter what, I am very happy."

When I said that, I went up to give Ning Xiaodong a warm hug, and immediately blinded Ning Xiaodong. I asked why the foreigner was so excited about receiving a gift, and he still hugged himself. Wouldn't it be possible to see if the things in the box fit together? Mind? What if it's stinky shit?

Just as Ning Xiaodong was stunned, the tin box in his hand was taken away by Owen, and then gathered in his hands and shook in front of Ning Xiaodong's eyes: "Is it in the box? There are words on it, it is calligraphy. Isn’t it beautiful? It’s a pity that I don’t understand, but it doesn’t matter. Let’s guess what’s inside. It’s heavy, isn’t it your tea or candy? Very good stuff..."

Owen muttered, his hand opened the box, and it turned out that it was neither tea nor candy, but a metal object covered with gauze.

But Irving didn't care, he opened his hand, his eyes straightened immediately, and at the same time he exclaimed: "Oh, MyGod!"

He immediately raised his eyes to look at Ning Xiaodong who was still dazed: "F-14!" Then he looked down at the model in the box, especially the eye-catching white skeleton on the vertical tail, and shouted several Oh, MyGod excitedly. !

"Um...do you like it or not!"

Seeing Owen's gaffe, Ning Xiaodong was a little frightened. If he was overly excited, what should he do if he drew it over, it would be bad if it turned into a foreign-related incident, so he quickly asked.

"Like it very, very, very much, Ning, I'm sorry, I lost my mind, but your gift is the best gift I have received this year. You didn't know that my cousin was in the 84th Fighter Squadron of the US Navy. Pilots, you have perfectly copied the "Jolly Roger" camouflage of their squadron."

As soon as these words came out, Ning Xiaodong was relieved. He didn't expect this thing to be given to the right person. He thought that Zhuang Jianye made a skull and crossbones just to make it more domineering.

Throwing an awesome look at Zhuang Jianye, Ning Xiaodong leaned back on the chair, watching Owen fiddling with the model in his hand like a child.

The model is about fifty centimeters in size. Because it is made of metal, it is a little heavier. The exterior painting is just like Owen said, copying the pirate flag painting of the 84th Fighter Squadron of the US Navy.

It's not that Zhuang Jianye is unpredictable and has to do what he likes, but this painting has always been a classic painting in the field of F-14 model, it is fierce, domineering, and upscale.

How could it be that Owen still has relatives serving in this squadron, the meaning is different.

In fact, this is indeed the case. On the Open Day of the U.S. Navy’s family members the year before, Irving had the honor to board the "Nimitz" aircraft carrier and saw the whole aircraft painted with the pirate flag paint. At that time, he felt very beautiful and very I wanted to go up and experience it, but unfortunately there was no such project at the time, so he could only circle the fixed F-14 a few times.

Later, when he heard that there was an F-14 model in the hangar with a pirate flag painting, he hurried over and wanted to buy a collection, but as soon as he ran over, he was told that the items were sold out, and he could only go back in anguish.

Fortunately, because of the pilot's convenience, my cousin got him some aerial photographs of their squadron, which didn't let him return empty-handed.

Although it has been more than a year, Owen beat his chest at the thought of the missed model and cursed the U.S. Navy for not being more prepared.

However, he did not expect that after a year, he received the F-14 fighter model also painted with the pirate flag in faraway China. How could he not please him.

So he just put it in his hand to play, and completely forgot that there were two guests in the room. As a result, he found a crack on the back of the machine. For some reason, he stabbed it with his finger.

Hearing the "pop~" sound, the back of the plane immediately raised a board, which shocked Owen. He thought that the model plane was broken, so he hurried to check it. As a result, his eyes lit up immediately, and he pointed immediately. The bouncing board of the plane, along with Zhuang Jianye and Ning Xiaodong excitedly said: "Air brake, Oh, MyGod! How did it do it?"

"The landing gear, the canopy, the swept-back wing, and the tail nozzle are all copied from the real machine and can be moved; oh, yes, even the engine can be disassembled." Zhuang Jianye did not answer how to do it, but said Other movable parts.

Irving didn't pursue Zhuang Jianye's questions and answers. He immediately followed what Zhuang Jianye said, where the barrel was buckled, like a discoverer who found the New World, accompanied by Oh, MyGod every time! The strange call.

Until the end of the rear compartment bottom cover was opened, two engine models were taken out. Owen looked at Zhuang Jianye and Ning Xiaodong excitedly: "This gift is really great. It replicates every detail of F-14 perfectly. I would like to know if there are any similar models. I think I want another one."

"Yes, but..." Ning Xiaodong wanted to move the topic elsewhere, but was interrupted by excited Owen as soon as he spoke, "How much?"

"The ex-factory price is 200, but..."

"US$200? Oh~www.readwn.com~ It’s so cheap, don’t you know that the plastic bumps of the US Navy are also US$450."

Owen interrupted Ning Xiaodong again, and then counted ten green hundred-dollar bills from the drawer and patted them on Ning Xiaodong's hand. He apologized: "I have so many in my hand. Buy it for me first. Five frames, I will take these as gifts and give them to my family. I believe they will like them very much."

Ning Xiaodong only felt that his whole body was starting to be hot and dry. He said that 200 was a person~~ Renminbi, but it turned into US dollars, which is also 200. The values ​​of the two are very different.

That's fine. Irving came up to bid for a thousand dollars, a thousand yuan. He has seen it, but it is the first time to touch a thousand dollars. A thousand dollars, U.S. dollars, foreign exchange, what is the exchange rate? Ning Xiaodong's intuitive head is a little short-circuited.

Ning Xiaodong's goods are not worth seeing, and Zhuang Jianye knows that he was stunned by the money, just one thousand dollars, as for it!

I had no choice but to upload it myself, and then pointed to the model and asked Irving who was still excited: "You just said that the same type in the United States buys $450?"
