This takeoff accident seemed nothing to Nathan. Although it was extremely thrilling, it was almost a plane crash, but after landing, Nathan didn't care. He actually planned to continue taking off and complete today's subject.
This has won the admiration of everyone, but of course this is not allowed.
In the case of almost a major accident, the aircraft must not continue to fly and must enter the hangar for inspection. Who knows if there are other problems? Will the high-speed landing just now cause irreversible damage to other parts of the aircraft? Mechanical damage? Only after specific inspections can it take off again.
Therefore, Nathan and Steve were taken off the plane, and a large group of ground crews came over nervously. After all, it was their mistake.
And in Emily's eyes, more things flowed.
"Today's weather is so good, it would be a pity if we don't take off." Nathan said, "Give us another plane."
Since this plane is not allowed to fly, change it to another one. Just one F-4 from dozens of F-4s in the entire base.
"Okay, prepare a new F-4 immediately." General Richard, the commander of the base on the side, yelled. As the host of the home field, of course he should be generous to the guests. Following his order, the ground crews used tractors to An F-4 that had just completed routine maintenance was dragged out from the hangar.
"General, I suggest changing it. How about letting the exchange crew fly the 72304?" Emily's voice was not loud, but it embarrassed all the Air Force personnel on the scene.
It was a stand-alone confrontation. Nathan’s crew was going to fight against the Air Force crew. Nathan’s aircraft flew first, and the Air Force crew at the back took off. As a result, Nathan’s aircraft had a problem during takeoff, so the Air Force crew at the back did not take off. , Still in the apron.
The number of the fighter plane of the Air Force unit is 72304, and Emily's proposal also has a very deep meaning.
Was the accident just now an accident or a conspiracy? Now, in order to prevent the same situation from recurring, although it is said that as long as the people in the Air Force have a brain, they should not do such a thing. Who can guarantee that they will be really that stupid.
So, Emily offered to exchange it, at least the Air Force would not harm itself, right
The complexion of the commander of the base was first red and then white, and the weather was uncertain, and he was about to suffer from internal injuries.
"No, it doesn't matter which aircraft we fly." Nathan said: "Since we have chosen to fly, we must have the consciousness of making sacrifices at any time. We have experienced a lot of flight accidents of the kind just now. Our Navy, what I haven't seen the big winds and waves."
After that, Nathan took Steve and walked to the plane that was being towed. After two steps, he turned around and said to Emily: "See you at the bar tonight, congratulate us!"
Nathan said that, of course, he is 100% sure that he believes that he will definitely be able to achieve success in this confrontation.
The air force present was a bit dissatisfied with these two arrogant naval aviation forces, and even angry. This was simply a provocation, but thinking that someone just completed a take-off and landing with a folding wing aircraft, there is indeed this capital.
Emily smiled like a flower: "I'm waiting for you!"
Re-boarding the fighter plane, Nathan stabilized his mood and continued to prepare for takeoff in an orderly manner.
Although he was very relaxed just now, it actually resolved an accident and consumed a lot of Nathan's energy. However, because of this accident, Nathan decided to fight for the Navy's face.
Let these incredible air forces see who is the elite!
The takeoff went smoothly this time. The plane left the runway with ease. After climbing continuously, it reached an altitude of 10,000 meters. Then, Nathan aligned the course and headed towards the northern airspace No.6.
The so-called No. 6 airspace is actually the Arctic Ocean in northern Alaska. The airspace here is clear, and opponents can be found visually at the maximum distance. At the same time, in order to prevent polar bears from launching missiles over the North Pole, the North American Air Defense Command in Alaska, A large number of radars are aimed at the North Pole.
Their operations are completely exposed to their own radar, and they can be easily judged to determine whose tactics are superior.
"Steve, I have an idea." Nathan turned off the external switch and only used the intercom, and said to Steve: "We can fly on civil aviation routes. It is best to find a civil airliner as cover. , Fly next to it, so that those guys in the air force can't find us."
If you look directly at the world map, you will feel that drawing a straight line on this map is the shortest distance. However, no long-range intercontinental route is designed like this.
Because the earth is a ball, on the earth, the route that takes the circle with the center of the earth as the center is the shortest. Therefore, from North America to Asia, or from Europe to Asia, the shortest "direct distance" route is This "Great Circle Route" generally passes through the Arctic region.
However, before the 1990s, the endurance of general civil aviation aircraft was limited, so many aircraft would stop midway in Anchorage, Alaska for refueling.
Alaska is also a busy route, so if you hide yourself under the passenger plane, you can conceal yourself perfectly. When the time comes, give the other party a surprise attack!
Discovery is the prerequisite for lock-in. If you don't find the target, you can't talk about lock-in. Now Nathan is playing with this idea.
"Understood, first turn off the identifier friend or foe, then we turn on the radar, search the surrounding airspace, and find the passenger plane." Steve said, flipping the switches flexibly with his fingers.
First, turn off the recognizer friend or foe!
The friend or foe identifier is a question and answer machine. When the radar searches for the target, it will send a beam of electromagnetic waves containing the confidence of the question to trigger the automatic question and answer machine. The question and answer machine will return a bunch of passwords containing the correct information according to the question. Will be considered a friendly machine.
In this era, question answering machines are not smart and misjudgment occurs. Therefore, although there are sparrow missiles over Vietnam, they are required to visually confirm the target before they can do it. As a result, the sparrow missile’s range advantage cannot be used. Up.
Now, in order not to be discovered by the opponent during the confrontation exercise, the first thing to turn off is the friend or foe identifier!
With Steve's shutdown, only the highlights of the 72304 fighter plane can be seen on the ground radar, and the screen can no longer be marked as friendly.
"They are really smart." General Richard exclaimed: "Turn off the recognizer of friend or foe. Next, they want to fly to the civil aviation route, right? But they are destined to be disappointed.
General Richard also came up step by step from the pilot. He is familiar with these tactics, and it depends on who performs better. Today, this confrontational airspace has been emptied, and there are no passing civil airliners at all. (End of this chapter)
