Chapter 44 J-X-10, Return
"Also, I'm curious, how can you say it so indifferently? Do you know that without any skydiving experience, do you know how high the mortality rate is when you skydive from such a high altitude?"
Qin Xiao grinned: "Instructor Lin, I learn things very quickly. Trust me, you just need to tell me the key points when the time comes. I will definitely be able to go back alive."
Lin Shun shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said nothing more. Instead, he glanced at the fuel gauge: "Is it caused by the previous overload?"
"Um."
Qin Xiao nodded: "The overload is too high and the fuel consumption is too fast. In addition, we have flown for so long before. It is normal to be low on fuel, but it should be able to hold on until the tanker comes."
Lin Shun looked at him: "Let me control the air refueling and docking in a while!"
Qin Xiao shook his head. Ordinary control by Instructor Lin would be much more convenient, but for mid-air refueling, the front cabin is more convenient and easier than the rear cabin.
Moreover, aerial refueling is a must-learn course for any pilot.
"Since you don't know how to do it, just learn it now and sell it now."
Lin Shun smiled bitterly again: "You are the most indifferent among the students I have ever seen. I am afraid that no one among the students can have such an attitude in the face of life and death. Even a pilot needs to be an experienced pilot to have such courage. "
"As a pilot, the most basic thing is not to be afraid of death, to dare to do it, to be timid, and to stop thinking about anything."
"Of course, not being afraid of death does not mean that you are going to die, but that you can stay calm between life and death, so that you have a greater chance of surviving."
"From this point of view, you are already far ahead of many pilots. What you lack now is actual combat experience. This cannot be taught, and there is no way to teach it. You can only make up for it after you have experienced enough actual combat."
As a flight instructor, Lin Shun is fully qualified.
In fact, as a flight instructor, I generally don’t talk too much to current students about these things.
For students at this stage, to put it bluntly, it is considered good if they can fly a plane well. As for being distracted and thinking about other things, they simply cannot do it.
Qin Xiao was different. Qin Xiao already had the skills of a senior pilot. What he lacked was experience.
Some experiences cannot be taught, they can only be experienced personally.
Some experiences can be expressed through words. As for how much Qin Xiao can gain from it, Lin Shun doesn't know, but he knows that he wants to teach Qin Xiao everything he has learned.
…
The J-X-10 fighter jet flew less than twenty kilometers when it saw a huge shadow appearing in front of it.
The Kongyou-6 aerial tanker is modified from a carrier aircraft. Due to sales restrictions, it cannot be converted into aerial refueling by purchasing a large passenger aircraft. This basically determines that Dongshen's tanker can only modify the original carrier aircraft.
The Kongyou-6 aerial tanker is suspected to have an aerial refueling pod hanging under the wing. However, this modified aerial tanker has a small fuel load, limited range, and its technical and tactical performance is completely unable to compete with the powerful military forces such as the Star Alliance. The power ratio is even comparable to the aerial tankers of the Eastern Alliance.
Dongshen uses air tankers from Tianzheng. However, due to quantity limitations, it still cannot meet the needs of the Dongshen Air Force's increasingly expanding aerial refueling missions.
Nowadays, it is a good thing to see an aerial tanker.
Although the fuel capacity is not high, it can still support the daily needs of more than a dozen fighter jets. As far as Beicheng Air Force Base is concerned, it is completely sufficient.
The Dongshen Air Force Military Flight Command Academy also has Kongyou-6 aerial tankers, but they are too far away from him. By the time the Academy's Kongyou-6 aerial tankers arrive, the J-X-10 fighter may have already lost its engine due to lack of fuel. out of service, the aircraft stalled and crashed.
The moment he saw the Kongyou-6 aerial tanker, Lin Shun breathed a sigh of relief.
The tanker is here, so they don't need to worry too much. The only thing they need to worry about is that it is Qin Xiao's first time to control aerial refueling. Whether it can be completed successfully is the final assessment for Lin Shun to decide whether to let Qin Xiao go alone. .
Of course, ordinary students rarely have such requirements. Many people will only learn these after going to the air force base.
But monsters have their own way of raising monsters.
"First accelerate and fly behind the Kongyou-6 aerial tanker and make a U-turn, followed closely by the Kongyou-6 aerial tanker." Lin Shun reminded.
Qin Xiao had never even read the relevant information about aerial refueling, so he could only wait for Lin Shun's reminder.
Qin Xiao nodded, accelerated directly, and soon appeared behind the Kongyou-6 aerial tanker.
Seeing the J-X-10 fighter jet arriving at the designated location, the Kongyou-6 aerial tanker also extended its refueling pipe.
However, alignment is also difficult.
An old house where a treasure.
At this moment, Lin Shun is such an instructor in Qin Xiao's heart.
He knows a lot.
In terms of flight skills, Lin Shun is the most skilled flight instructor among the flight instructors at the Dongshen Air Force Military Flight Command Academy and the one with the most practical combat experience.
"When preparing for aerial refueling, we, as the oil receiver, need to increase the speed appropriately to insert the oil receiving probe into the drogue. Because the length of the refueling hose is given priority, the oil receiver is usually very close to the tanker, so it needs to approach extremely slowly at this time. , and because we are under the tanker, the airflow is very unstable, and it is difficult for our fuselage to maintain stability."
While Lin Shun was talking, Qin Xiao started to test.
After several tests, Qin Xiao finally successfully connected to the tanker. Lin Shun was stunned by this operation.
"Do you know how long I studied aerial refueling?" Lin Shun said with some resentment in his tone.
"How long?" Qin Xiao asked casually without thinking too much.
"It took me a month to connect to the tanker smoothly." Lin Shun said with a bitter look on his face.
Qin Xiao smacked his lips and said nothing. It was not the right time to say anything.
On the fuel gauge, the amount of fuel increased steadily, and it didn't take long before enough fuel was filled.
Following Lin Shun's instructions, he disconnected from the tanker and the aerial refueling operation ended.
"Thank you, Kongyou-6 aerial tanker!" The joy of surviving the disaster made Qin Xiao couldn't help but say thank you.
Very exciting, from the bottom of my heart.
"Listening to your conversation, you must still be a student, right? Awesome!" Praise from the pilot of the Kongyou-6 aerial tanker.
"Thanks!"
Qin Xiao accepted all the orders.
"Let's go back!"
"Yes, instructor!"
"boom!"
At an altitude of two thousand meters, the deafening sound of turbofan engines filled the sky.
The fully fueled J-X-10 fighter jet directly entered supersonic speed and disappeared from the sight of the Kongyou-6 aerial tanker in the blink of an eye.
