Great Power Fighting Falcon

The J-8FR itself has aerial photography equipment, and it is more advanced than ordinary aerial photography equipment. What needs to be installed is a weather reconnaissance pod to collect data on changes in regional wind speed and direction, including humidity, temperature, etc., to comprehensively analyze the meteorological conditions and changing trends in the region.

The meteorological station and others guided the technicians to complete the modification and attachment of the No. 101 J-8FR. Li Zhan wore a summer flight suit and boarded the cockpit directly. After confirmation from the tower, he slid out and took off to check the operation of the attached pod. , and at the same time detect whether the flight performance of the fighter aircraft is affected after adding a weather reconnaissance pod.

Li Zhan climbed to 5,000 meters and cruised south along the coastline. Then he turned left at the southernmost point of the mainland and continued flying along the coastline. When he turned his head to the right and looked into the distance, he seemed to be able to see the overwhelming billowing clouds approaching with firm steps.

Of course he couldn't see Typhoon Mali, which was hundreds of kilometers away. It was just a psychological effect. However, the meteorological influence range of super typhoons is often hundreds of kilometers in diameter, and the turbulence of fighter planes has already illustrated the problem. It is basically impossible to send fighter planes to conduct reconnaissance on the typhoon clouds. They may crash in the violent airflow before they can see the central clouds.

He descended to an altitude of 500 and flew north. According to the instructions from the tower, Li Zhan turned on the aerial photography system to take pictures of the ground. It is also an action to detect the working status of related systems. When shooting a large area, you need to go up high. If you want to accurately capture a small area, you need to go down as high as possible. Tactical reconnaissance aircraft mostly do fine work, such as flying over enemy positions at low altitude and high speed to take pictures.

At present, there is no data link that can connect various combat units. The photos taken by the high-speed camera of the tactical reconnaissance aircraft need to be taken out for interpretation after the fighter plane lands. This means that once the tactical reconnaissance aircraft on the mission is shot down, the reconnaissance proceeds will be turned into Nothing.

Flying further ahead is the downtown area of ​​​​Hangzhou City. Li Zhan asked the tower for instructions, Tower, Yaotong Yao, please fly over the urban area at low altitude to test the shooting effect of the reconnaissance pod on the urban area at high speed and low altitude.

Yu Chenglin is at the tower and is the commander.

He thought for a moment and replied, I agree, but you must pay attention to the speed, altitude and heading.

Understood. Li Zhan pressed the lever and continued to lower the height.

Under modern warfare conditions, including upcoming aerial photography missions that are likely to become flooded areas, fighter aircraft and pilots are required to have the skills to fly over and even between high-rise buildings. The Second Division gave Li Zhan the important task of supporting the aerial photography of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. It recognized his flying skills and trusted him, so Li Zhan had to work hard.

It was noon, Li Zhan looked at the time, it was the time for people to take a nap.

I don’t care much anymore.

After approaching the urban area, he visually selected the flight route, adjusted the altitude and speed, and began to cross the urban area. The urban construction of Gangcheng City is very good. You can see dozens of high-rise buildings everywhere, like a steel forest. The huge oval-shaped deep-water harbor is glowing blue.

The route he chose was from east to west. To the east was the new district, with many high-rise buildings but sparsely populated land. After flying over the harbor, he entered the west district, where there were many high-rise buildings and densely packed buildings. It was a route that tested flying skills. When he turned to adjust the heading 210, the tower had already contacted the local air traffic control department and temporarily took over the airspace.

There are often helicopters flying over the city. Their flying altitude is not much higher than Li Zhan's current altitude. If you are not careful, a mid-air collision will occur.

Tower, I'm ready to travel through. Li Zhan reported.

Yu Chenglin replied, Received, pay attention to altitude, speed and heading.

He took the trouble to remind us of altitude, speed and heading, but was still worried about a collision.

Yao Dong Yao understands. Li Zhan replied.

This time, his flight attire was extremely simple. He was wearing only a summer flight suit, not even an oxygen mask, a helmet, and no oxygen mask. However, he had always kept his protective gloves in his trouser pocket, so he put them on directly. Because it was a low-altitude flight and activities below three thousand meters, it didn't matter whether he had an oxygen mask or not. On the contrary, because he was missing a helmet, Li Zhan felt more relaxed and at ease.

The two turbojet engines of the J-8FR burst out with powerful thrust, and the huge roar bombarded the entire urban area. Many people who were napping were awakened by the deafening noise. The middle-class people got up on mattresses that cost tens of thousands of yuan each, rubbed their cracked heads, and walked to the huge bay windows to open the curtains and look out; the low-income white-collar workers got up from their beds and ran to the windows to look out, holding their hands. The mobile phone screen inside is still stuck on the game page; while the majority of working people are still working hard staring at the scorching sun, setting up awnings and looking at the sky.

The sound of rolling thunder echoed, but nothing unexpected could be seen.

The No. 101 J-8FR's flaps were tilted down, flying at an altitude of nearly fifty meters above the ground at infinitely close to the lowest speed, surrounded by tall buildings with a height of more than 100 meters on both sides. Office buildings, residential buildings, and comprehensive commercial complexes abound.

For those with quick hands, turn on the camera function of your mobile phone and aim and shoot continuously. However, due to the pixels of mobile phones in 2009, the photos are blurry, but the distance is too close. You can still vaguely see the handsome profile of the pilot in the cockpit.

Although it is already the lowest flight speed of the J-8FR, the speed of nearly 300 kilometers per hour is still an unattainable speed for people, especially people at close range in high-rise buildings. They only feel that there is an airplane in front of them. It flashed by with a huge whistling sound, and after a while, only smaller and smaller shadows could be seen.

In just four or five minutes, Li Zhan had successfully passed through the urban area of ​​Hong Kong City, crossing the harbor from east to west, with a total length of about 20 kilometers, crossing the entire urban area. The urban area of ​​Hong Kong City is very large, with a permanent population of more than six million, which is much larger than many first-tier cities. This is why Li Zhan requested to use the downtown area of ​​Hong Kong City for training when the window time was so tight.

The road ahead for Guizhou Province is slim this time. What is certain is that he will not be able to return to the field until the flood situation is stabilized, so he will not have the opportunity to do such training again. Yu Chenglin also considered this before agreeing to his request under the current circumstances.

A strong crosswind suddenly blew by, and the J-8FR fuselage that was ascending to altitude shook violently. Li Zhan called the tower, Tower, I have to return.

Got it, land directly. Yu Chenglin replied.

Li Zhan stopped climbing and sprinted directly towards the airport at an altitude of 100 meters. After confirming that the landing gear was successfully lowered, he directly entered the landing route. His extremely skillful landing maneuver was like floating on water. The drag chute was released, providing powerful counterattack energy. Despite this, the J-8FR still taxied for more than 600 meters before slowing down enough to leave the runway.

Both have delta wings. No one can compare the Qiye and the Eighth Master, let alone the SU-27, which can land at the same speed as a large aircraft.

During the intense maintenance, Lou Yiwang personally went into battle, repeated it several times, then added aviation fuel and installed a parachute, and then conducted a comprehensive inspection again. The maintenance work is very busy. When Li Zhan received the official transfer order, no one except the division commander and relevant personnel knew about it, including other officers and soldiers of the Nighthawk Squadron.

However, Huang Xiaoyue was well-informed. When she rushed over to say a few words to Li Zhan, she saw Li Zhan's plane No. 101 taking off on the runway and transferring to Longcheng Station in Guizhou Province.

She could only stamp her feet and curse secretly: Hey, this kid runs very fast. I will settle the score with you when you come back.
