Happy Tycoon

In terms of airport density, if Guam considers itself second, there is probably no place in the world that would dare to claim first.

Guam, an island with an area of ​​less than 55 square kilometers and a population of less than 180,000, has three airports in a frenzy.

You know, even New York, which is known as the busiest city in the world by aviation, has only three airports. And how big is New York? 789 square kilometers; how many people are there in New York? Over 20 million!

But there is no way, who makes Guam's strategic position too important? Therefore, among the three airports on Guam, except for the commercial Antonio Won Pat International Airport, the other two airports are military airports belonging to the US military.

The airport at the Anderson Strategic Air Force Base in Ego Heights at the northeastern tip of the island has a total of four runways, two main runways and two spare runways. The length of the two main runways is over 38oo meters, enough to allow any aircraft in the world to take off and land on these two runways. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

This airport at the Anderson Strategic Air Force Base is one of the top military airports in the world.

However, the airport that Yang Jing and the others are going to go to today is not this top military airport. After all, the Anderson Strategic Air Force Base is the top priority of the US military. The management there is extremely strict, let alone Yang Jing and the others, even if it is a base. Ordinary soldiers on active duty cannot enter the airport without a special pass.

Even though George's father was a major general at the base, he was also unable to lead such a large group of people who were not active soldiers into the airport. It was an act of losing one's job, and it could even go to a military court if it was more serious.

Therefore, Yang Jing and the others can only go to the airport in the northwest corner of Guam today.

Speaking of this airport, it can be said that it is the oldest airport on Guam. Before the Pacific War, this airport was built by the Americans, but afterwards the Japanese occupied Guam and expanded the airport. Turned this airport into Japan’s main military airport in Guam. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Later, the Americans regained Guam again and built the Anderson Strategic Air Force Base from the northeast corner of the airport, so this airport gradually became a backup airport. Although the U.S. Air Force was affiliated with the U.S. Sixth Army during World War II, the U.S. Air Force became independent in 1947 and became an independent service, so the U.S. military simply transferred the airport to the Sixth Army and made this airport. It became a backup airport under the jurisdiction of the 6th Army of the United States.

However, although the jurisdiction of this airport belongs to the US Sixth Army, most of the use rights are still in the US Air Force, because the US Air Force often uses this airport to train new pilots.

"Boss, when I was serving in Guam, I trained at this airport." Sitting in the Hummer, George pointed to the slightly run-down airport and said with a look of memories.

From a distance, this airport is indeed a little shabby. Generally speaking, tall plants such as trees cannot exist near the airport runway, but the airport is covered with lush trees between the four runways. The crowns of some trees are even located on the westernmost side. The alternate runway of the country is covered. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Why is this airport so dilapidated like this? It's just such a beating, can you still take off and land planes?" Yang Jing didn't understand this situation very much. After all, this is a military airport. There are also 28oo meters, which is enough to allow most US military aircraft to take off and land smoothly, but it is a bit unreasonable to be so deserted here.

Paul Adriano answered this question. Perhaps Aaron said about him, or perhaps he understood that Yang Jing is a real billionaire, and he cannot be offended by a small officer like him, so today Paul. Adriano's attitude has become very good.

"Now the jurisdiction of this base belongs to the 6th Army. Although our Air Force uses this airport to train new pilots every year, the training cost we give to the 6th Army each year is not enough to maintain this airport. The major part of the airport maintenance cost is The 6th Army is required to get it. If it is based on the mainland or in the Middle East, North Africa or even Europe, the 6th Army’s funding is still very sufficient. But here is Guam, here, the 6th Army has little effect, here is the navy and The air force is in the world. So..."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Paul turned his head and made a "you understand" expression, and Yang Jing immediately knew why this airport was so dilapidated.

In a word, no money!

Regardless of the fact that the United States has been arrogantly fighting this and that, the life of the US military is not easy. Because of the political system, even the military expenditures of the U.S. military require the approval of Congress. According to US law, even the cost of purchasing a screw for the US military should be approved by Congress.

If the U.S. Congress is okay, it’s a good idea. Just a Republican and a Democrat will be a dog. In peacetime when there is no war, who's his sister will pay attention to you. A 6th military airport stationed in Guam. Maintenance costs?

Speaking of this, the US Congress still has complaints against the Department of Defense. Do you say that your Ministry of Defense is flooded? Does a 6th military service want to dry the airport well? The 6th Army has air routes, but most of them are helicopters, which can take off and land in a place. As for the use of such a large airport to take off and land helicopters? Are you planning to use this airport as the apron for your 6th Air Force? &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Since your U.S. military is engaged in such oolong affairs, why should you blame our Congress for not granting you maintenance funds?

When our Congress approves funds, can you approve it at will? The funds approved by our Congress must also be made public and subject to supervision. If we raise up the maintenance cost of a 6th Army airport, those who know the situation may understand it, but the vast majority of American voters don't know about this. Do you want us to lose the vote of voters?

So, let's wait for your American military to get it right by yourself!

In this way, you wrangled and I wrangled, and the airport became what it is now. If it weren’t for the Air Force’s annual maintenance cost to the 6th Army, even the two main runways would be useless now.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be difficult for Yang Jing to believe that such a thing would happen to the dignified US military. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

This is a serious military airport. Although the runway is slightly shorter, it is also a modern military airport worth hundreds of millions of dollars, not a bus station!

But such a military airport worth hundreds of millions of dollars, because of high-level wrangling, it turned out to be like this in the end. What is this nonsense?

No wonder the Americans are clamoring that the top Americans are wasting taxpayers' money every day. Judging from this airport, the Americans are really right.

If this is in China, dare such a good airport be like this? The person in charge has been arrested long ago...

Perhaps it is this situation where my grandmother does not care for my uncle, and the US Sixth Army stationed here is not too much to see this airport. Compared with the airport of the Anderson Strategic Air Force Base next door, the management of the airport is simply old. Wife's waistband-loose and sagging.

In a huge airport, there are only two soldiers on duty in front of the gate, and they are all weak. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

As a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force who often leads new pilots to train here, Paul has long been familiar with the soldiers on duty here. In addition, he is a serious lieutenant colonel, although he is an air force lieutenant colonel. It's not that these little soldiers can afford to offend, so Yang Jing and his party entered this base with little effort.

Paul didn't even take out his documents, he could just brush his face here.

On the way to the airport to the hangar, Yang Jing had a deeper understanding of the rundown of the airport.

What does the airport do? Needless to say, everyone knows this. It is said that the hangars of military airports are generally parked with high-value aircraft types. Like the hangars of military airports in the United States, strategic bombers and airborne early warning aircraft are generally parked. Ordinary fighter jets can only be parked in the apron outside.

In any case, most of the tarmac of the US military airport is full of all kinds of military aircraft~www.readwn.com~ But on the tarmac of this airport, Yang Jing did not see a plane. Instead, they are all kinds of cars. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

As if he could feel Yang Jing's sight, George also smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "The several hangars in this airport are all trainer aircraft, because this airport only has trainer aircraft. As for the apron, it's a big deal. The parking lot is gone."

Forget it, don't think about it. This is not the Tianqu Airport under construction. It's my business?

After the car drove through the tarmac at the northeast corner of the original airport, it didn't go far before it came to the hangar.

Like the hangars of most military airports, most of the hangars in this airport are semi-underground, and because the hangars are surrounded by large trees, the entrance of the hangar is difficult to be seen in the air. In terms of concealment alone, these big trees that have grown for decades are not useless.

After getting out of the car, Paul walked to the hangar door and entered a series of codes from the electronic lock on the side of the door. The door opened slowly with a rumbling sound, and the lights inside immediately turned on. A light gray dual-type fighter immediately appeared in front of Yang Jing.

Since childhood, this is the first time that Yang Jing has come into contact with a real fighter at such close range, and it is also the famous f15 fighter.

This was the most powerful air control weapon of the US Air Force before the f22 Raptor officially entered service in 2oo5. It was also the only heavy fighter at the time. The old enemy of this fighter was the famous Su-27 heavy-duty in the former Soviet Union. fighter!
