Chapter 1286 (1/2)
Show maximum respect!
The tower controller just repeated the simple six words of the leaders of the military region, but let Chen Xu and his vice driver, who were born in the army, feel deeply moved and honored.
It's because of the attitude of the leaders of the military region. Such simple words weigh more than Mount Tai;
it's an honor for the leaders of the military region to fly this Boeing 747 aircraft on behalf of the military region in the sky of Chuncheng, and to send the biggest message to the pilots among the more than 20 American Flying Tigers on board and the more than 20 Chinese Flying Tigers waiting in the airport The respect of.
The huge sense of mission made the two pilots sit in danger. Chen Xu looked at the red eyed copilot beside him, and suddenly said to him, ”No.2, now you command it!”
When the captain controls the aircraft, the second co pilot has no control right. His task is to do all the sub main tasks assigned by the captain, such as retracting the flaps, controlling the throttle, opening or closing the landing gear. However, once the captain says the words ”you command”, he will give the pilot right to the co pilot on behalf of the captain.
For such a significant event, the co pilot didn't expect that the captain would suddenly give the driving right to himself. He instinctively wanted to refuse, but Chen Xu said again firmly, ”again, you are in charge now.”
The co driver was stunned for three seconds, and then he nodded solemnly at once, and said with great excitement, ”understand, I will command you!”
After that, the copilot immediately entered the state and said: ”tower, CA two or three turns request the altitude to drop to 300, and start flying around the field!”
The tower immediately replied: ”two or three turns of Air China can go down to 300, Chuncheng airport has cleared for you!”
The captain was in a great mood, opened the cabin radio, and said in skilled English: ”ladies and gentlemen, distinguished members of the flying tigers, this is the captain radio. Thank you for taking the Air China charter flight. It's also a great honor for us to serve as the flight task of your trip to China. Our plane is about to arrive at Chuncheng airport in China. We just received the Chuncheng military region The airport has cleared the air for us. Our plane will make five rounds around the field at a height of 300 meters, or nearly 1000 feet, to show the greatest respect of the Chinese people to you. Our plane will incline to a certain extent when flying around the field. Please fasten your seat belt and we will land after the end of the round. ”
”Fly around?!” The American Flying Tigers on the plane were particularly excited to hear the news. They cleared the whole civil aviation airport in a short time, just to make the plane fly around the field at low altitude. The Chinese side really gave them much more respect and attention than expected.
They have never received such courtesy in the United States for so many years after the war. The American people don't know about the Asian battlefield of World War II. In addition, the United States has a lot of European descendants, so the American attention to the European battlefield is far greater than that of the Asian battlefield. In the United States, the veterans of World War II are very respected, but the most respected ones are those who went to the European battlefield at the beginning, The most respected one is the one who participated in D-Day, i.e. Normandy landing. Although these Flying Tigers didn't care about it, they were relatively ignored for so many years. Now they are so valued by the Chinese people, which gives them great comfort.
When the Air China 747 dropped to a height of 300 meters, the giant could be seen clearly from the ground.
More than 20 old Chinese Flying Tigers sitting on stools stood up excitedly when they saw that the large passenger plane with the familiar shark mouth coating began to lower its height.
No one told them which plane the American pilots had arrived on, but when they saw the shark's beak, everyone knew that it was coming!
Here comes the shark!
Here comes the flying tigers!
Old comrades are here!
These Chinese Flying Tigers waiting for old international comrades did not expect to see such a spectacular and familiar scene, which is indeed a huge surprise.
This cartoon's shark mouth is of great significance to the old American Flying Tigers and to the summer Chinese flying tigers.
As the plane got closer and closer, it didn't land at the runway, but turned around not far from the end of the runway and began to fly around the field with its body tilted.
The old Flying Tigers know this move too well. In the war years, the highest way for fighter pilots to show respect is to fly around the field at low altitude!
The old Flying Tigers of Chinese nationality saluted and paid attention to each other spontaneously. Their bodies could not help turning with the hover of the plane. They always looked at the plane and the familiar and bloody shark mouth.
