Chapter 145: The Primary Teaching of 'Immortal Flying' - 6
"If I don't even know the CJ-6 and Y-6, why would I take the physical examination for recruitment?"
Jiang Chen walked up to a CJ-6 trainer aircraft and spoke as he touched the aircraft which was more than one meter taller than himself.
"Haha!" Liu Xiyuan sneered twice and said unhappily, "You are young, but you are so arrogant."
"You just watched a few videos of the CJ-6 and Y-6 on the Internet, but you act like you know a lot about these two aircraft."
Jiang Chen shrugged and said modestly, "I can't say I know a lot, but I do know a little more than the average person."
"Tsk tsk, aren't you afraid that the strong wind will blow your tongue away?" Liu Xiyuan rolled his eyes and said, "Young man, you have to learn to be humble. Do you understand?"
"Since you said you know a lot about these two aircraft, why don't you briefly talk about their data and performance?"
At this moment.
Jiang Chen has already circled the plane.
This is a habit developed in the previous life.
Before every takeoff, he would walk around the plane for inspection.
Only after confirmation will you board the plane.
Hearing Liu Xiyuan's question, he answered, "The Y-6 is a twin-engine piston engine regional transport aircraft that was copied and improved based on the Soviet Il-14M aircraft in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China."
"The fuselage is 24 meters long and 7.8 meters high. It uses two 8A piston engines, has a cruising speed of 268 kilometers per hour, and can reach a maximum speed of 460 kilometers per hour."
"The maximum range is 7500 kilometers, and the maximum ceiling is meters."
"It can carry 35 passengers and 5 crew members."
"Because the Y-6 has a limited flying altitude, a low speed, and an unsealed fuselage, not to mention the comfort of the cockpit environment, it is also called the 'air tractor'."
Jiang Chen gave the general data of the Y-6 transport aircraft in just a few words.
Liu Xiyuan was stunned when he heard this.
This kid.
Do you really know?
Jiang Chen patted the CJ-6 and said, "The CJ-6 is my country's first primary trainer aircraft. The design began in July 1957, and the prototype made its first flight in August of the following year."
"The range is over 600 kilometers, and the speed is 350 kilometers per hour."
"I'm too lazy to talk about other data."
"I just want to say that this aircraft is worthy of being a training aircraft. It is super easy to operate and has strong adaptability to runways. It can take off and land on dirt roads, concrete roads, and even grass roads."
"The CJ-6 is nicknamed 'flying immortal' and is known as the safest training aircraft in the world."
"There's a joke among military fans that goes, 'If you can't fly, just let the plane do it.'"
"Even in the most severe spin, if the pilot does nothing and lets the plane recover on its own, the chances of success in rescue may be higher."
"It is precisely because of these features that the CJ-6 is the most popular aircraft in the civil aviation circles at home and abroad."
"But didn't this old guy retire from active service in the 1990s and become a civilian? How come you still have him here?"
Liu Xiyuan knew Jiang Chen like the back of his hand.
The performance and even the nicknames of the two aircraft are clearly stated.
I couldn't help but look at him deeply.
No wonder someone as arrogant as Chen Shanhe admires this kid so much.
He is indeed quite capable.
"Haha. It turns out you are not bragging. You really know a lot about these two aircraft." Liu Xiyuan said with a smile.
Jiang Chen said unhappily, "They are just two old models that have been developed for decades. Their information is everywhere on the Internet. It's hard for me not to know."
"But isn't Xinzhou Airport a military and civilian airport? How come there isn't even a single fighter jet?"
"I was thinking that even if it was 'Seventh Master', it would be nice to hear the sound."
"I didn't expect that this is it?"
Liu Xiyuan slapped Jiang Chen on the back of his head and scolded him with a smile, "Who told you that a military airport must have fighter jets? Don't transport planes, bombers, etc. deserve an airport?"
"Don't you know that you can't touch a man's head or a woman's waist?" Jiang Chen covered the back of his head and glared at Liu Xiyuan. "Besides, isn't the 130th Regiment a fighter regiment? A fighter regiment doesn't have fighter planes."
"You are just a little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet, why are you pretending to be an adult?" Liu Xiyuan rubbed Jiang Chen's head hard and said with a smile.
Jiang Chen looked helpless.
He usually rubs other people's heads.
Today, "evil finally gets its due".
"However, a squadron of fighter jets will indeed be stationed at Xinzhou Airport as a training ground for training and combat readiness."
"But Qianzhou Province is an inland province, so the national defense pressure is not that great."
"So my regiment has moved all its main training sites to Yunnan Province."
"Xinzhou Airport is only retained as a training ground for newcomers." Liu Xiyuan explained patiently.
Jiang Chen's face was filled with disappointment. It was just a training ground.
Then today I really can’t see the fighter jet I’ve been longing for.
"Don't be greedy. If there were fighter jets stationed at Xinzhou Airport today, you might not be qualified to come in, let alone be able to fly the CJ-6."
"You have the opportunity to fly the CJ-6 today, so just be happy." Liu Xiyuan said again.
Jiang Chen nodded.
What they said is really good.
If there were active fighter jets stationed at Xinzhou Airport.
Jiang Chen may not be able to come in for a visit today.
"Let's go." Liu Xiyuan pointed to the flight briefing room not far away, "Go over there to change clothes and put on your helmet first, then come over to pick your plane."
Liu Xiyuan is really nice.
He said he would bring Jiang Chen here to experience flying today.
He really kept his promise.
The flight briefing room is not far from the apron.
When the two men walked over, there was already a sentry standing at the door.
However, Liu Xiyuan's behavior had been reported.
So the sentry simply saluted him and didn't do anything else.
Entered the flight briefing room.
Liu Xiyuan threw an older flight suit to Jiang Chen and stuffed a flight helmet into his arms.
"Put it on."
Then he unbuttoned his clothes and took off his military uniform.
Jiang Chen's movements were relatively fast.
He put on his flight suit in no time.
Then he put on his flight helmet.
Wait until Liu Xiyuan is also dressed.
The two then left the flight briefing room one after the other.
Back to the tarmac.
As soon as the two of them returned to the tarmac, several ground staff came towards them.
Several ground crew members saluted Liu Xiyuan one after another, and the captain in the lead smiled and said, "Captain, is this the boy you mentioned yesterday that you wanted to bring along to broaden his horizons?"
"You are a good-looking guy, but is your talent really as amazing as you boast?"
Liu Xiyuan raised his foot and kicked, "Get lost! You are questioning my ability in front of my child. Do you have any dignity?"
Jiang Chen watched coldly.
Ha ha!
Such a low way of provoking someone.
Who are you performing for?
"Boy, I have alarmed so many people today for you, so if you stand me up, I will throw you down from the sky in a while." Liu Xiyuan laughed again.
Jiang Chen remained indifferent.
Liu Xiyuan rolled his eyes, "What a boring boy."
"Which 'Old Six' can fly?" Liu Xiyuan turned his head and asked the captain.
The captain immediately replied, "They are all well maintained. You can choose any one you want."
"Then let's go with the one on the outside." Liu Xiyuan said.
Then he walked to the outermost CJ-6, grabbed the fuselage with one hand, and climbed directly onto the wing.
Then he walked to the cockpit.
Give it a gentle tug.
He opened the cockpit cover.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smack his lips.
Gee!
No wonder the CJ-6 is known as the "immortal flying aircraft".
The way to board the plane is too simple and crude.
