"Our F-14 fighter jets are expensive to fly per hour. It is only aviation fuel, and it burns thousands of dollars for one takeoff and landing." In the office of the squadron commander of the Gunners, Lieutenant Colonel Mark's voice roared. "But you, Captain Nathan, you deliberately knocked out our target during target training and made our results invalid. Do you know what this is?"
Facing the anger of Lieutenant Colonel Mark, Nathan was quite calm: "I'm sorry, Squadron Captain, I didn't mean it."
"You didn't mean it? The other pilots saw it." Lieutenant Colonel Mark said: "You completely smashed our target so that the target could not count the number of shells on it. Then, in order to avoid being scolded, Interrupted the towing rope!"
For dishonest pilots, Lieutenant Colonel Mark is the toughest. Do you dare to be
"Well, I admit it." Nathan said, "That's what I thought at the time. Tell me, what do you want to do with me now, do you want to get out of the Gunners team?"
The Gunners squadron is a training squadron. Only when the training is over from this squadron, will it be deployed on the aircraft carrier. Otherwise, it will either go back and continue flying the ghosts or retire.
Nathan is now willing to take it all out. Indeed, he dares to act. Since he has done it all, what's he dare not admit
"Ting bell." Just then, the phone on the desk rang, and when Lieutenant Colonel Mark picked up the phone, he heard the words inside, and the expression on his face suddenly became weird.
"What? You want Nathan to go there? No, he hasn't completed the basic training courses." Lieutenant Colonel Mark said, "I'll talk about this later!"
After speaking, he hung up the phone and said grimly: "I don't understand this rule, TopGun is amazing?"
TopGun? Hearing this name, Nathan suddenly got enthusiasm. Just when I heard this, is this place wanting itself
In general translation, TopGun is directly equated with Zhuangzhi Lingyun. The translation of this word is called Zhuangzhi Lingyun. In fact, a more reasonable interpretation of TopGun is Thebestinbest.
A leader in air combat.
The official name of this place is the U.S. Naval Fighter Weapons School. The establishment of the school is the direct result of a research report published by Captain Frank Oort in 1968.
During the Vietnam War, American aviation failed. In Rolling Thunder, the US military lost nearly 1,000 aircraft in one million operations.
Regarding this loss, the Air Force and the Navy came to diametrically opposite conclusions. The U.S. Navy believes that the lack of air combat skills by pilots is the root cause of the problem; the Air Force believes that the lack of observation of the enemy aircraft in the tail leads to the loss of air combat. Not a technical issue.
The two services were already doing their own things. As a result, the Oort report was affirmed by the Navy's senior officials and began to establish a "Advanced Pilot Weapons School" to revive and disseminate aerial combat skills throughout the Navy.
After all, in this era, the omnipotent missile theory has received the most widespread support. It is believed that the biggest role of fighter jets is to carry missiles to intercept bombers, not to fight, which has led to a drastic drop in the fighter's level of combat.
Now they want to resume aerial combat.
Initially, the school was equipped with many F-8 pilots as lecturers, and was assigned to the command of the VF-121 "Pacesetter" squadron stationed in Miramar. The VF-121 Squadron is a reserve squadron equipped with F-4 Ghost fighters.
The school uses the A-4 "Skyhawk" attack aircraft and the T-38 trainer "Eagle Claw" borrowed from the U.S. Air Force to simulate MiG-17 and MiG-21 respectively. After a period of training, when the North Vietnamese air operations resumed, most naval squadrons had graduates from weapons schools. As a result, the effect of school training is very obvious and has been highly praised.
Even the U.S. Air Force was greedy and followed suit and established the "U.S. Air Force Weapons School." This school is probably the most well-known Red Flag military exercise hosted by them.
With the success of air combat, funds were obtained for this training school, which eventually made the school an independent unit and acquired its own aircraft, personnel and assets.
At the same time, some outstanding graduates who have achieved a record in the war against North Vietnam returned to the school to become faculty members, including Mike Kee Urn, Jack Enshi, and the first batch of ace pilots in the Vietnam War "Duke" Cunningham and Willie Drisco You.
In later generations, TopGun became famous naturally because of the movie High Aspiration, the protagonist was in this school. And now, this script written by Nathan also uses TopGun as the location of the story.
Only today, the most famous school of the Navy, also stationed at Miramar Naval Air Station, actually called Nathan, which makes Nathan strange.
In my impression, Nathan should have never entered this school. According to the truth, it is possible for Nathan to train there for a period of time, but now this school mainly trains F-4 pilots, and he has already started flying F-14s. That's it!
"Are they going to let me go to school for training?" Nathan asked.
"Of course not. They asked you to become an instructor." Lieutenant Colonel Mark answered without thinking about it. When he finished his answer, he found something was wrong and he was actually caught up in a routine
"Don't change the subject for me, tell you, Nathan, you have been banned! During your ban on flying, give me a good thought about your mistakes!" Lieutenant Colonel Mark said, "Also, without me. You can’t leave from the Gunners’ team!"
"Yes." After a salute, Nathan left the office. At this time, his mind was still confused.
Want to be an instructor? It's strange, although my experience is pretty good, there are a group of air combat trump cards in the Vietnam War.
Looking at Nathan's departure, Lieutenant Colonel Mark's face immediately changed, showing a smile. This Nathan, a true flying genius, is no wonder that he would be regarded as an instructor by the school.
They do not lack instructors, but they lack instructors to fly Tomcat fighters. Although Nathan has only been flying for less than 20 hours, he has already shown strong control over Tomcat fighters. He will be the first to fly to the man-machine team. The one, think about it today, the first time I turned on the cannon, the result was the best in history, and it was able to break the towing rope!
Coupled with his experience in Vietnam, he will be an excellent instructor.
It's just that it's absolutely not possible now, this young man is too anxious, he has to sharpen his temper!
It just so happened that the top was rushing. The senior navy was worrying about beckoning qualified pilots. They were looking forward to the film Nathan said. In the past two days, let him write the script quickly. (End of this chapter)
