Chapter 29
There are four parking spaces in total on the combat readiness apron, three of which are empty, with only one fighter plane parked alone.
Yang Luo glanced at the parked fighter plane, whose nose number was 804.
This is Xue Fei's plane. The engine has been started and the fuel pipeline is continuously replenishing aviation fuel. It is obvious that it was temporarily hired to replace Ye Jianlong's combat readiness duty.
If there is a problem with the 802 fighter plane, it will definitely be impossible to continue to be on combat readiness, and someone must replace it.
However, the two planes originally on duty for the deputy shift were nowhere to be seen. Apparently they were empty again and went up.
"They are very lucky." Yang Luo muttered, unbuckled his seat belt, jumped off the plane, explained a few words to the aircraft maintenance staff, and ran to the combat readiness room impatiently.
He is really hungry.
I didn't even have two bites of lunch before I flew up for more than an hour, flying at supersonic speeds and maneuvering. It was a huge exertion on my physical strength, and I was so hungry that my chest pressed against my back.
As soon as he entered the combat readiness duty room, Yang Luo saw Xue Fei sitting leisurely in the combat readiness duty room, fully armed.
After saying hello to Xue Fei, Yang Luo couldn't wait to open the food box.
This is not the one I didn’t eat a few bites from before, but one that was made temporarily and delivered to Yang Luo when he landed. There are two portions in total.
While Yang Luo was devouring the food, Xue Fei came over and asked, "What happened to Chongzi's plane? He called me over in a hurry and even canceled the afternoon flight training."
Only the tower personnel on duty and the people at the regiment knew what exactly happened to Ye Jianlong's plane. Others only knew that there was an accident with the plane. After all, when the special alarm went off, the entire station knew about it.
"I hit a bird." Yang Luo swallowed his food and replied with a somewhat unclear speech.
Since we are not on a confidentiality mission, the special situation is not a confidential matter, and people at the station will find out sooner or later.
This is the nature of Chinese people, regardless of gender, old or young, they especially like gossip.
Xue Fei asked, and Yang Luo answered while eating.
Halfway through lunch, Ye Jianlong also came in, sat at the table, opened the food box and wolfed it down. He was also very hungry.
Yang Luo slowed down his eating speed and asked: "Captain Ye, what's wrong with the plane?"
"Based on the location of the impact, it is speculated that there should be a problem with the power supply line of the instrument panel, but further testing is needed." Ye Jianlong replied.
Hearing this, Yang Luo nodded and said: "Fortunately, it's just a wiring problem. It can be repaired quickly and can be done in a day or two."
"Thank you for reminding me. At that moment, I subconsciously pulled the lever and pushed the throttle. Otherwise, the impact position may be the position of the control system." Ye Jianlong smiled and said, "Then I will have to be a paratrooper again.
Already."
The control system failed and there was no other option but to parachute.
The airplane has a price and can be afforded to be lost, but the pilot is priceless.
You know, training a pilot, especially an excellent pilot, costs countless money.
Pilots join the army immediately after entering the school, which means that their military service starts from the moment they enter the school, and their food and accommodation are all included, as well as a monthly cadet allowance. This number alone will cost hundreds of thousands or even millions in four years.
In addition, the aviation fuel consumed in subsequent flight training, the ammunition used in training, the wear and tear of the aircraft, wages, etc., added together, will cost tens of millions of yuan for a new pilot. And for an experienced pilot with rich flying experience,
The money consumed will be even more, at least hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
Even if ten planes crash, they will not be worth the value of a pilot. Therefore, when a plane crashes and the pilot abandons the plane and parachutes to escape, it is not just because life is above all else.
After lunch, Ye Jianlong changed his clothes and left. He had to go to the aviation hospital to undergo a psychological test and write an accident report.
Yang Luo still had to stay in the combat readiness duty room and continue on duty.
Anyway, there was nothing else to do while waiting for Kong Qing, so he simply took out a blank paper and pen, and Yang Luo also wrote a report.
There are two reports required, one is the air condition mission report and the other is the accident report.
In previous air situation missions, you didn’t need to write a report. After all, they were all simulated air situations. But this time it was different. What was discovered was a spy drone, so you needed to write it down and submit it in detail.
The accident report is because Yang Luo is a witness, similar to the fact that witnesses need to take notes.
If a bird collision accident occurs during training, an investigation team will be dispatched to investigate the cause of the accident. However, this is an air situation mission, and with the authorization of the North Point, there will naturally be no investigation team, but an accident report will also need to be submitted.
After the deputy squadron returned, Yang Luo found out that their mission was to fly over with Mao Xiong's plane for routine surveillance.
Perhaps it was because the 122nd Regiment discovered a spy drone and another bird collision occurred. No further air situation orders were issued by the North Point.
Xue Fei was a bit miserable. Not only was his training mission canceled, he also sat in the combat readiness duty room for a day.
At ten o'clock in the evening, after handing over to the night shift pilot who came to take over, Yang Luo and Xue Fei left and got on the commuter car parked outside the door to return to the living area.
This is the hard part of working the regular shift, which lasts for more than ten hours, and the deputy shift ends at 5:30 in the afternoon and leaves to have dinner.
There is nothing we can do about it. There are three shifts and there are not enough pilots to arrange them, so we have to adopt this scheduling method.
However, the pressure of being on duty is not great for flying, and I wish I could have more air time. It’s just that if the time is long, it will be boring.
You can take a day off after the regular duty, and no flight training will be arranged.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, in the pilot restaurant, Yang Luo blocked the regiment leader Hu Zhongming who was about to leave.
Hu Zhongming is also a pilot, so he is eligible to eat in the pilot restaurant. The political commissar Wen Xianjun cannot. Unless there is an event held in the pilot restaurant that needs to be attended, he can only eat in the pilot restaurant once. At other times, he can only eat in the canteen.
"What do you want to do by stopping me? If you want to fly up, don't speak. You must rest according to the regulations." Hu Zhongming glanced sideways at Yang Luo and said angrily.
"Captain, can't I have other things to do with you? Why do you want to go up and fly?" Yang Luo said dissatisfied.
"After you left the regiment, you only knew how to fly. Have you ever done anything else? I don't think so." Hu Zhongming said, "Oh, by the way, you will also go to the aviation hospital to find Zhang Qingyao. How is your progress?"
Yang Luo's head is full of black lines. This jump must be too big. He doesn't answer Hu Zhongming's question. You can think whatever you want. Anyway, I can't explain it clearly. You won't believe anything I say.
Yang Luo directly told his own affairs: "Captain, I want to go to study aircraft maintenance. I need your approval."
The management of aircraft maintenance is quite strict. When the aircraft maintenance is working, no one can approach it at will. Although Yang Luo is a pilot, he can't just go to the hangar if he wants to. He needs approval.
Hu Zhongming did not dwell on the question he raised, but smiled and said: "What, you don't want to be a pilot, but want to switch to aircraft maintenance?"
"Working in aircraft maintenance? Impossible. My brain is not broken. I just want to study airplanes and learn from the aircraft maintenance first."
Of course, it was impossible for Yang Luo to say this, he could only think about it in his heart, otherwise it would make people laugh out loud.
"I just want to learn. It's always good to have multiple skills." Yang Luo lied helplessly, looking at Hu Zhongming with burning eyes.
"Okay, let's go to the No. 1 Squadron that maintains your aircraft." Hu Zhongming couldn't stand Yang Luo's eyes, so he said simply, and then took out his mobile phone to make arrangements.
Yang Luo said happily: "Thank you, leader."
