Chapter 590 New Generation Training Aircraft System
Zhang Jiujiang is the veteran pilot who took Chang Haonan to the sky in the J-7 to observe the airflow on the wing surface of the J-8C prototype.
Later, the two met again in Yan Liang.
At that time, Zhang Jiujiang was temporarily pulled over to fly the prototype of the J-7F to demonstrate its performance to foreign customers, while Chang Haonan happened to be working on the improvement of the J-7F in Haojing.
I haven’t seen him since.
Due to the nature of Chang Haonan's work, he sees too many people every day, and Zhang Jiujiang is just an ordinary person who he has only met twice. What's more, during one of the meetings, the other person was wearing an oxygen mask and could not see his face clearly.
So when we first met, we didn’t recognize each other’s identity.
But for Zhang Jiujiang, in his more than 20 years of flying career, he has only carried one completely non-professional "passenger" in the back seat, and this passenger has also been deeply involved in several types of aircraft. Type of research and development work, the impression is definitely quite deep.
When I saw the scene of two people shaking hands and hugging each other, the most shocking person was the sentry standing next to him who had just called the person out.
“Really a parent of a student?”
Looking at Chang Haonan's face, I really couldn't convince myself to believe this.
But Director Zhang obviously knew this person...
The sentry felt that his brain was about to burn.
In fact, not only him, but also Zhang Jiujiang was a little confused for a while.
But after all, he knew Chang Haonan's name, and he also knew that Chang Jiayao's father was named Chang Yuanchao, and Chang Haonan was obviously not that old.
Therefore, after eliminating all possibilities, the correct answer was quickly guessed:
"So Mr. Chang, Chang Jiayao is your...sister?"
Chang Haonan still The sentinel behind him knew nothing about the small theater in his mind, so he just nodded:
"Yes, my sister was admitted to your university last year. Since then, I have been busy with projects and have not seen her. However, since I have some free time recently, I just wanted to take a look."
For him, what just happened was that the sentinel interrogated him normally and then called Zhang Jiujiang out. .
Nothing unusual.
However, to the ears of the sentry, this conversation was different -
Zhang Jiujiang, Air Force Colonel.
He is the head of the aviation flight major at the college and also serves as the instructional director of the flight training course.
Call this young man Mr. Chang...
Hiss...
It's not that scary, but the embarrassment is real——
Although he was just following the rules on the surface, he actually didn't do anything wrong, but he just had a round of insanity. But he knows the course of the storm better than anyone else.
It feels like "your friend's son went shopping with his wife, but you mistakenly thought he was cheating on you and informed the other party, but you later found out that it was an inadvertent mistake."
So, while no one was paying attention, he quietly went back to the guard box to register the license plate.
"Okay, then I will take you in, but today is not a rest day. According to the regulations, you have to wait until after class before meeting the students."
Zhang Jiujiang and Chang Haonan wrote down their name, contact information and purpose of visit in He looked at the record book, and then looked at Zhu Yadan not far away:
"This other person is..."
"Uh... Zhu Yadan, my guard."
Chang Haonan couldn't make up any reasonable identity for a while, so he had to tell the truth.
When he heard the last three words, Zhang Jiujiang's originally fluent writing suddenly trembled:
"I'll go..."
"You..."
The army followed Although the two systems of the Science, Technology and Industry Committee are very closely connected at the top level, at the bottom level, except for a few positions such as military representatives, there is not much overlap between them.
Although Zhang Jiujiang is a pilot, he cannot keep an eye on the development progress of new equipment all day long.
Besides, I don’t have that authority.
So, he actually only vaguely knew that Chang Haonan's status within the aviation industry system should not be low.
But as a soldier, he knows very well who can be assigned as a personal guard in peacetime.
There are guard platoons at the regiment level, guard companies at the division level, and guard battalions at the corps level.
But these establishments are all allocated for the position of troop commander, not for individuals...
Therefore, Zhang Jiujiang subconsciously wanted to ask you what exactly you have done in the past two years, and even the security guards have been involved.
But in the end I didn’t ask about the exit.
Years of organizational discipline have told him that there are some things that should not be asked but should not be asked.
“Okay, registration is over.”
Zhang Jiujiang returned the registration form and pen to the sentry, and then saluted him:
"The vigilance is high, not bad."
It has been almost a year since he was transferred to the flight academy. Of course he can guess what the sentry was thinking when he called him out. Although the actual situation proved to be an own mistake, there is nothing wrong with this way of handling it.
Regardless of deeds and intentions, as a superior, we cannot allow soldiers to bear this psychological pressure for no reason.
After some maneuvers at the door, Chang Haonan finally entered the flight academy in Zhang Jiujiang's convertible jeep.
His own Jetta King parked in the parking lot near the entrance of the college.
"Actually, before I took the college entrance examination, I also thought about participating in the recruitment to become a pilot. Unfortunately, my teeth were not close enough and the army confiscated me."
Chang Haonan sat in the co-pilot seat. , looking at the students walking in columns on the road around them.
The seating arrangements in the military, especially in grassroots military units, are slightly different from those in different places. Generally, the co-pilot is seat 1.
Although registration for the college entrance examination actually happened decades ago for him, and he has long forgotten about it, he still can't help but feel a little emotional when he really mentions it.
A person's life is really unpredictable. You said that I am... why...
Zhang Jiujiang also smiled:
"Then I have to thank the person who rejected you back then. The recruiter has become a qualified recruiter, otherwise our country will lose an outstanding young scientist..."
Chang Haonan opened his mouth and found that he really couldn't answer the question, so he had to change the subject quietly. :
“By the way, does Instructor Zhang take care of my sister’s class?”
"To be precise, they are in charge of their class."
Zhang Jiujiang replied casually:
"Our country did not recruit female pilots every year in the past, so there was no universal one. This time, the superiors hope to use this batch of them to determine a systematic training method. "What is their training direction? Fighters or transport aircraft?"
Chang Haonan suddenly remembered that Chang Jiayao said on the phone that she wanted to fly a plane she designed.
"There is no separation in the first two years, including when we are doing basic flight training on beginner aircraft, they are all together. They are separated only after the intermediate level. Fighters fly JJ-5, and transport aircraft and bombers fly H-Jiao 5."< br>
Zhang Jiujiang replied:
“However, according to the current plan, female pilots will all be assigned to the transport flight major. They still have to do it step by step. It is too risky to go directly to fighter jets.”
“Speaking of fighter jets, I thought I could stay in the combat force for a few more years, fly the J-8C you built and then transfer to an aviation school, but I didn’t catch up with this opportunity when I arrived.”
Speaking of this, there was a bit of regret in his tone.
The combat troops also have training instructors, and this is the position that Zhang Jiujiang has been working in before.
However, he was later seconded to the test pilot group, and then came to the aviation school as a full-time instructor.
At this point, unless something unexpected happens, there will basically be no chance of returning to the combat unit.
Although it was his own choice to teach at an aviation school, as an Air Force pilot, it would definitely be a lie to say that he did not want to fly the latest domestically produced aircraft.
“It doesn’t matter, our aviation school will definitely have new training aircraft. We can’t always use the JJ-5 and J-7 to do the job.”
At this time, K8’s self-use model Coach 8, as well as the Hun Yun Jiao 7 modified from the Yun 7, have not yet been finalized and put into service. Therefore, the aviation school’s coaching equipment is still based on the level of the 1950s and 1960s. In fact, it is already a bit Out of touch with the times.
“I do know about this. Guizhou Airlines took the JJ-7 and converted it into a serious high-level trainer aircraft. It is said that the Bayi Aerobatic Team will also change to this model.”
Although Zhang Jiujiang didn’t know Chang Haonan’s role in the JJ-9 project, he had heard about the new model:
“I would say, as long as the JJ-7 can be replaced, It’s anything.”
Chang Haonan naturally understands the resentment of the pilots, especially the flight instructor in the back seat, towards the JJ-7.
After all, he had experienced it.
"Isn't there another K8 in Hongdu? It has been exported a lot, and it should be a sure thing to replace Chujiao 5."
Chang Haonan continued to reassure.
“It’s hard to say.”
Zhang Jiujiang’s attitude was a little uncertain:
"It is now said that the superiors are hesitating whether to continue to retain the three-level coaching system of junior-intermediate-senior, or to replace the junior coach 6 with a more advanced model and become a two-level coaching system of junior-senior. The fourth year Let the students directly join the army and start flying the training model of the main fighter. "Is there such a thing?"
Chang Haonan raised his eyebrows.
“It’s just a rumor, I’m not sure yet.”
Zhang Jiujiang just mentioned it casually.
He felt that at his age, he might not have much hope before the flight was grounded.
But this was a wake-up call for Chang Haonan.
The aviation industry in Hongdu has been having a tough time lately.
Because the JH-7A appeared five years earlier than the original timeline, the Qiang 5D, which was supposed to be finalized and equipped with troops in batches, was directly squeezed out of its ecological niche and transferred to the technical reserve.
It’s a big loss.
Although this fact cannot really be blamed on him, if there is a chance, it would be better to help him.
