Chapter 460: First Flight of J-11BS
Gaomi is not near the sea.

But it’s not too far from the sea.

Therefore, the main task and defense focus of the 101st Flying Regiment of the 1st Air Division stationed in Gaomi is the vast ocean one or two hundred kilometers away.

Just like the 'Wang Hai Squadron' is mainly responsible for guarding the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, the main mission of the 101st Flying Regiment is also to guard another economic zone of Dongda - the Bohai Bay Economic Zone.

Bohai Sea is a large inland sea in the east.

The Bohai Rim Economic Zone is the core economic zone of the eastern and northern regions.

The Qilu Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula are like two strong arms, tightly embracing the Bohai Sea.

So since the founding of the country.

This area is the key defense area of ​​the East China Sea and Air Force.

Precisely because of the great defensive pressure, the Air Force Command deployed two main divisions - the 1st Air Division and the 5th Air Division - on the Qilu Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula.

The main equipment of the 11st Air Division is the J-B, a twin-engine, single-seat heavy fighter.

The J-11B is an air superiority fighter with extremely strong maneuverability and dogfighting capability, and is a powerful weapon for gaining air superiority.

The main aircraft type equipped by the Fifth Air Division stationed in Weifang more than ten years ago was the Q-5.
Correct.

The J-5 is a missile that can carry small mushroom eggs, but has a range of less than kilometers and can only attack in one direction. It can also die together with the enemy, which has made it famous on the Internet.
However, the Q-5 has a payload capacity of up to tons.

But the flight was really too short.

The reason why this attack aircraft was developed was because it was a compromise model that had to be made due to the threat of the former Soviet Union's steel torrent.

After the JH-1998 Flying Leopard was officially put into service in 7, the Q-5 was gradually replaced.

Although the JH-7 Flying Leopard has been criticized and its safety, controllability and stability are not satisfactory, it was the air-to-sea aircraft model urgently needed by the East China Sea and Air Force around the millennium.

So after the JH-7 Flying Leopard was snubbed by the Air Force, the Naval Aviation Force extended an olive branch to it.

However, the Air Force did not fail to purchase a single JH-7 Flying Leopard, but instead placed an order for more than of them.

Close to two main divisions.

Currently.

The entire 7th Air Division is uniformly equipped with the JH- Flying Leopard.

But it won't take a few years.

The division replaced its equipment with another more powerful J-16 multi-purpose fighter jet, which is known as the "bomb truck" and "invincible below the fifth-generation aircraft."

and.

The division also has an honor that other main air force divisions do not have.

That is, the division is the first unit in the Eastern Air Force to have female pilots serving.

As of 2014.

The division still has more than a dozen active female pilots.

However, because the division was equipped with the J-7B, which had powerful sea/land attack capabilities but average air combat capabilities, foreign aircraft frequently invaded the waters off the Qilu Peninsula during this period, and the division was almost unable to do anything and could only rely on the st Flying Regiment to take off and drive them away.

the reason is simple.

Everyone performs their duties.

Because the Koreans and Japanese across the sea, as well as the Americans behind the scenes, are equipped with either F-16s, F-15s, F-18s, and even occasionally one or two F-35s.

What can the JH-7 Flying Leopard do against these air superiority fighters?
Chase but can't catch up.

You can't win by fighting.

The JH-7 and Flying Leopard are not deliverymen. Why would they take the initiative to deliver food to others?

Therefore, if any surface ships invade the sea area, the JH-7 Flying Leopard will cooperate with our ships to expel and deter them.

If enemy aircraft invade, we will have to rely on the J-11b.

This is also the reason why the naval aviation force purchased a large number of naval versions of the JH-7 Flying Leopard.

Because aren’t surface ships the navy’s main enemies?

Nine in the morning.

The morning mist covering the Jiaodong Peninsula of Gaomi has not yet dissipated.

On the airport runway.

Two J-11B fighter jets roared into the morning mist and disappeared from sight.

This is not because of the discovery of empty space in the open sea.

Instead, it carries out routine combat readiness cruise missions.

Tarmac.

Jiang Chen was holding a flight helmet in his hand and wearing a flight suit and a gravity suit.

Already fully dressed.

Not far away, Zhou Hai was carefully checking the maintenance and repair list handed over by the maintenance staff.

After confirming it is correct.

He then signed and confirmed the maintenance and repair list.

At this time, there was a J-11BS two-seat fighter/trainer aircraft parked on the apron.

The J-11BS fighter/trainer is a replacement for the Su-27UBK two-seat fighter/trainer.

The combat effectiveness is also good.

And he also has the ability to lead rookies.

So it is naturally a trainer aircraft.

yesterday afternoon.

The tower in the distance.

Zhou Jianhua, Chief Engineer Zhao and others arrived at the command hall early.

Their destination was certainly not to observe the daily training of the 101st Flying Regiment up close.

They have only one goal, and that is Jiang Chen.

yesterday afternoon.

Jiang Chen has passed the simulator test in the indoor training room of the 101st Flight Regiment.

So this morning, Zhou Hai, the commander of the 11st Flight Regiment, served as his temporary instructor and took him to fly the J-bs.

If Jiang Chen's performance is satisfactory.

And in the next few days, the relevant assessments were successfully completed.

Then he officially began his flight training in the 101st Regiment, and went to the Inner Mongolia Test Flight Brigade base more than two weeks later.

In other words.

This flight this morning is very important to Jiang Chen.

Do not!
It is not only important to Jiang Chen.

They are all important to the FC-31 Falcon project.

Because it is very difficult for the project team to select a test pilot as suitable as Jiang Chen.

Zhou Hai finished signing.

Then he turned his head with a stern face.

Looking at Jiang Chen, he said in a deep voice, "Are you ready?"

Jiang Chen did not answer, but nodded.

"Then get on the plane. You go in front and I'll go behind. I'll take the controls during takeoff, and then after we reach the training airspace, I'll hand over the control to you and you will fly." After Zhou Hai finished speaking, he climbed up the boarding stairs on his own.

If it was Xiao Yun.

Jiang Chen will definitely respond now: Let’s not talk about the machine, be civilized to you and me.

But Zhou Hai is not Xiao Yun.

This is not Wanli Station.

We are not familiar enough to joke with each other yet.

Moreover, ever since he clearly refused to be wooed yesterday, the attitude of the 101st Flight Regiment from top to bottom towards him has undergone some subtle changes.

Cold and chilly.

Official business.

Jiang Chen didn't care.

After all, you are not a RMB, and you cannot make everyone like you.

Moreover, I only stayed in the 101st Regiment for two or three weeks at most.

It doesn't matter whether other people are enthusiastic about you or not.

He took a deep breath.

I turned my head and saw the sun, which was already shining through the morning mist and was as red as an egg yolk.

Only then did he turn around and grab the boarding ladder.

Sitting in the cockpit of the J-11bs.

As soon as he got into the cockpit, ground staff came up and helped him put on his helmet and plug in various instruments and oxygen mask.

Only then did Jiang Chen focus all his attention on the dashboard of the J-11bs.
