With a slope, maintaining a downward angle of attack, and at the same time, with a slight throttle stick, ready to pull up and take off at any time, Nathan's descent movement is extremely fluent, in one go, when the main landing gear landed, everyone present applauded.
This flight of Nathan demonstrated his superb flying skills. It can be said that Nathan has reached the standard of a test pilot!
Only test pilots can take off after a simple understanding, and at the same time land smoothly. For Tomcat fighters with variable swept wings, landing is not so easy, because the swept angle of the wings is the smallest. In the case of, it also means that the aerodynamic effect of the rudder surface is low, and the amount of rod must be increased.
In the many shots of later generations, you can see that every time the Tomcat fighter lands, it is almost dangling, which is the reason.
Now, after Nathan landed, he won the approval of everyone. All the veterans present were flying veterans. They admired Nathan very much.
"General, it's time to eat," said Brigadier General James Watkins, commander of the base, just after Nathan and the instructor got down.
Now, it is noon.
A group of people came to the pilot’s cafeteria, ready to have lunch, and at the same time welcomed the arrival of the Nathan crew.
For any country, the pilots have their own canteens. Their recipes are the most complete. Pilots must have high-energy food without too much fat. Here, there are delicious seafood and various Variety of vegetables.
If you don’t have a flying mission, you can still drink. This is a welcome banquet, a welcome to the Nathan crew, and a welcome to the old general.
The old general took Nathan how he liked it, and took him to sit next to him.
"Nathan, I see your resume, the flight time is not long." The old general said to Nathan.
"Yes, it is less than two years after graduating from aviation school and getting on the aircraft carrier." Nathan said, in the flying career, age is also very important, too young, inexperienced, old, and physical fitness is not enough. Above, twenty-five to thirty-five years old is the golden age, and someone who is just in his early twenties like Nathan has absolutely unlimited future.
"By the way, how did you enter the navy?" the old general asked at the same time, eating with a fork.
"It's the army's conscription poster, so I signed up." Nathan said.
Nathan answered in a very soft voice, after all, this is an unspeakable topic.
When the anti-war sentiment was intensifying, Nathan, as a college student, actually ran to join the army. At that time, his classmates were disgusted. Nathan almost became the enemy of everyone in the school. College students and seniors of his classmates. The elder sisters and the younger siblings joined together to protest against this war, but Nathan actually took the initiative to participate in this unjust war!
No one knows Nathan's difficulties. For Nathan, he is an orphan and grew up in an orphanage.
During the Vietnam War, all public expenditures in the United States were decreasing. If Nathan wanted to continue his studies, he had to find a way to make money. He joined the army to get free bursaries and to repay the orphanage. Long, old Cole.
Back then, Cole picked up Nathan who was still a baby on the steps of the orphanage, and gradually raised the child to an adult. As a US Navy carrier-based pilot who participated in World War II, the old man loved the US military. Just like his life.
Now, the old general's questioning reminded Nathan of this again, and the memory of the two generations was integrated, which made Nathan sigh with emotion.
"Unfortunately, it is very difficult for us to enlist now. There are almost no students who want to join our army." Brigadier General James sighed: "Nathan, you made the right choice. You are the pride of our naval aviation."
Now, the Vietnam War has come to an end, but the country still looks at the army differently. Those soldiers who shed blood and died on the battlefield returned to the country, but were discriminated everywhere.
This phenomenon makes everyone feel infinitely emotional, and the army has actually fallen to this point!
In recent years, conscription has not been easy, and there are fewer young boys with sufficiently high physical fitness. Seeing that the U.S. Navy is facing a situation where there is no one.
"Nathan, what do you think?" the old general asked Nathan.
Only then did Nathan drew his thoughts from the memory. He also knew their sigh just now, watching the atmosphere on the table began to become cold, and in an instant, something came out of Nathan's mind.
"General, I have an idea about conscription." Nathan said, "How about we make an air combat movie based on Tomcat fighters?"
In this era, no one really wants to be a soldier. They all feel that the United States is engaged in an unjust war. To be a soldier is to do evil.
So, how can we encourage young people to become soldiers? Then we have to give them the coolest side and let them know how heroic and handsome they are as carrier-based pilots of the US Navy. As long as they are ambitious young people, they are willing to go to the army to find their own survival value!
Just like during World War II, Hitler personally designed a set of the most handsome military uniform in order to encourage young people to join the army. When a good German man wears it, he is handsome and free and easy. For this military uniform, death is worth it!
Men all like to pursue the sky and pursue their dreams. Who would not like to outline a wonderful eagle in the sky for them
Nathan’s words instantly brightened the eyes of the people present. It’s not bad. Nathan is not only good at flying skills, but also quite good in other aspects. Why didn’t he expect it
"Go on." The old general said.
"The title of the film is Magnificent Aspiration Lingyun. It tells the story of a U.S. Navy pilot who used his old pilot father as an idol. After many years of fall, he finally rose up, flew a silver eagle, crossed the sky, and eventually became an excellent pilot. How about?" Nathan said "The protagonist of the film must drive our Tomcat fighter plane. This is so impressive. I dare say that as long as the whole country has seen our film, they will definitely fall in love with our Tomcat fighter plane, in order to control us. Tomcat, there must be countless young people to sign up for naval aviation!"
In later generations, this film is a huge propaganda work for the U.S. Navy, and it has successfully attracted young people who love flying around the world. Even Nathan from his previous life has watched it more than a dozen times and was deeply impressed. (End of this chapter)
