Chapter 1636： Shoot down Air Force 1 (2/2)

Putting on the full set of flying gear, Lieutenant Jim McLanahan ran into the hangar: ”Give me the engine.”

Above the head, the bubble-like cockpit cover was still open, and the ground crew expertly helped to connect the power car on the ground. In the rumbling sound, the 2000-horsepower engine in front gave out a puff of black smoke.

The door of the hangar was opened, and the cold wind came in immediately and closed the canopy overhead. Lieutenant Mike Lannahan operated his plane, sliding out of the hangar slowly and toward the direction of the runway. Since it was fully loaded, they needed Take off from the end of the runway.

”Boom.” Suddenly, a voice rang from under his feet. With the voice, Lieutenant Mike Lannerhan felt his plane and immediately strayed to the side and slid toward the wasteland next to it.

So, he could only close the throttle stick and step on the brake.

Opening the canopy, Lieutenant Mike Lannerhan stepped on the wing and jumped off the plane. Looking at his own wheel, the one on the right was deflated, and he felt speechless for a while.

Damn, how come the chain is off at a critical time!

As a fighter, there will be such a low-level problem as a flat tire!

He turned his head back and looked at the trajectory of the plane sliding over. On the road behind, a rock stood out with a pointed top.

It was scratched by a stone, unfortunately!

Therefore, he could only stand on the plane and watch other Mustang fighters on the runway, taking off one after another.

The first to take off was the squadron commander Major Michael's plane. He rolled easily and skillfully, pulled up, the engine roared, and climbed with the entire fighter plane.

Those who take off first have to take on the task of piloting, and at the same time, they will consume more fuel. As a squadron leader, this responsibility is incumbent.

Major Michael learned on the radio that just after takeoff, an aircraft had failed and exited. It was also speechless for a while. Just as he was thinking about who should replace Lieutenant Mike Lannerhan, another voice came from the radio.

”Bison, Bison, Little Bee's auxiliary fuel tank failure, Little Bee's auxiliary fuel tank failure.”

Lieutenant Joseph Moore ~~The radio code is Little Bee. At this time, he was also speechless. During the pre-takeoff inspection, it was clear that it was OK, but when it was started, it felt abnormal, and waited until it flew. After that, I realized that my auxiliary fuel tank could not supply fuel.

The tubing must be blocked! The fuel pump is new and there will be no problem.

If there is no auxiliary fuel tank, then he can't fly that far, and he can't participate in this mission.

It seems that the treatment of being named as a cell phone by Major Michael is not good.

Lieutenant Moore hovered over the airport, waiting for the other planes to take off and vacate the runway so that they could land on their own. Lieutenant Jim McLanahan and Lieutenant Jim McLanahan became hard brothers and could only wait on the ground for good news from the front. Up.

Of the 20 fighters, two of them failed at the time of departure, and only 18 were left. Facing this situation, Major Michael was mentally prepared for a long time. He called on the radio to appoint Besby Helmore. Lieutenant Si and Raymond Hahn joined the ranks of ”killing phones.”

At the same time, Major Michael suppressed his inner excitement and shouted: ”Our mission this time is to shoot down Air Force One!”
