Chapter 1441: Return to Hunter Valley (1/2)

Xia Ruofei thought about this invitation happily. As a friend who had experienced life and death, Xia Ruofei was very willing to share this happy moment with Captain Brooke. In addition, the forced landing of the aircraft has long been known, Qantas has even been preparing for filming, Xia Ruofei's exposure during that time is also very high, so he does not need to keep a low profile at this time.

So, Xia Ruofei followed the Captain Brooke and Molly to the welcome crowd.

Qiao’s senior vice president, Tony, also personally attended the event, as well as the head of the Qantas public relations department and the head of the a350 fleet, etc. When they found out that they had been watching the crowds When it was Xia Ruofei, it was also a very pleasant surprise.

When dealing with the accident at the beginning, Xia Ruofei and these people basically dealt with each other, and with his extraordinary memory, he is naturally impossible to forget, he can even skillfully call out each person's name, which makes Everyone feels more close.

Xia Ruofei naturally stood with Tony and others, and Brooke walked aside and smiled at the media.

The two pilots who flew with Captain Brooke, in addition to one co-pilot, the other was a high-level inspector. The inspector is responsible for the assessment of the captain. The assistant pilot is responsible for the assessment flight when the captain is promoted to the captain or when the captain resumes flight qualification.

The inspector said with a smile: ”Brook's captain's performance in this assessment flight is perfect. I am very honored to announce that he will resume the Airbus A350 captain qualification from now on!”

Although Brooke has completed the flight of two segments, in a strict sense, his flight is an assessment flight. Only after passing the examination, can he regain the qualification of the captain of the Airbus A350. That is to say, until the inspector announced this moment, Captain Brooke really completed the physical and psychological recovery and re-entered the flight.

The inspector’s voice fell, and the scene immediately gave a warm applause. Tony and other senior executives also came forward to congratulate him. Captain Brooke smiled and expressed his gratitude.

The media reporters extended the microphone to Captain Brooke and asked him what he felt at the moment.

As the most thrilling visitor in Qantas history, Captain Brooke has always been highly concerned by the media. This time, his assessment flight, Qantas also informed the reporters of the major media in advance to the apron. Interview.

Brooke laughed and pulled Xia Ruofei over and said: ”Before answering your questions, I want to let everyone see someone first!”

”Wow!”

”God! Am I blind?”

”Is Mr. Xia!”

The media reporters have issued amazement.

In all fairness, Australia's public opinion environment is not particularly friendly to China. Some western whites' arrogant prejudice is particularly evident here. These local media usually do not have any misleading reports on China with colored glasses.

But Xia Ruofei is definitely an exception. Almost all Australians have a very good impression of Xia Ruofei. In Western society that advocates individual heroism, few people can feel bad about people who have had such heroic feats. Even the few Australian athletes who are extremely malicious against China are talking about Xia Ruofei, but they can only suppress the unhappiness in their hearts, and they will not praise the words.

There is no doubt that Xia Ruofei is also the darling of the media in Australia, even more than the captain of Brooke, because the discerning people know that the epic level of forced landing, although inseparable from the technical guidance of Captain Brooke, But if you really want to pay for it, Xia Ruofei at least 80%.

After the incident, experts also conducted countless re-issues, and some even found volunteers to test.

The test method is very simple. Didn't Xia Ruofei claim to have accepted simple helicopter flight training? So they found a helicopter flight student who had just put a single flight and had never touched the knowledge of fixed-wing aircraft to simulate the role of Xia Ruofei, and then found a senior a350 captain with theoretical knowledge no less than Captain Brooke. Enter the flight parameters at the time on the simulator. The senior captain does not participate in the flight control. He only performs technical guidance and is operated by the helicopter flight student.

The results of the test were cruel - after twenty or thirty attempts, the helicopter flight crew landed successfully zero.

Only once, the plane was slammed on the taxiway next to the runway, and the landing gear was broken directly when it landed. If it was in the real situation of the day, even if there were no other planes on the taxiway, it would be possible to land. Let the plane disintegrate directly.

What's more, in the real situation, the wind is roaring in the plane, and such an environment cannot be simulated at all.

After the results of this test were announced, it also brought out the greatness and incredibleness of the feat of the forced landing of Xia Ruofei.

Captain Brooke said with a smile: ”Everyone, I want to tell you that, considering that Mr. Xia is far away, so I did not inform him of this assessment flight. We are two planes in Sydney at almost the same time today. Landing is completely a coincidence, so I said... all this is to say God's arrangement.”

“It’s unbelievable!” one reporter exclaimed, and then he asked, “Mr. Xia, is Captain Brooke saying that it’s all right?”

Xia Ruofei said with a smile: ”I did not receive a notice in advance. But I prefer to use the words that we Chinese people often say to describe this coincidence - it is the fate that made us come here!”

The reporter's flashing light kept flashing, and another reporter asked aloud: ”Mr. Xia, today is a special moment for Captain Brooke. Do you want to tell him?”

Xia Ruofei has been very comfortable with this kind of media pursuit. He said with awkwardness: ”I have already congratulated the captain Brooke. I want to say here: I can recover from that level of psychological and physical trauma. As early as, Captain Brooke is a great man! I congratulate him again on his flight qualification! I am also very willing to take the flight he is flying! Of course, I am afraid that my ride will not bring benefits to Qantas. After all, I am Qantas. 'Honour passengers'!”

Xia Ruofei’s words made everyone smile with a goodwill, and Captain Brooke couldn’t help but grin.

Tony, the senior vice president of Qantas, who stood by, said with a smile: ”Whenever we are, we sincerely welcome Mr. Xia to take Qantas flight! In fact, Mr. Xia, the first ”Lifetime Honorary Passenger” of Qantas, took the trip to Australia. There are only a handful of flights, and we want to express our respect for him, but I have no chance!”

A reporter pointed out that the Taoyuan number, which was not far away, said: ”I think that Mr. Xia may not have too many opportunities to take Qantas aircraft in the future.”

Everyone can't help but laugh.

Today's protagonist is still Captain Brooke. After asking a few questions about Xia Ruofei, the media reporter aimed the main goal at Brooke.

After resuming flight qualifications, Captain Brooke was in a very good mood and answered questions about the media. Xia Ruofei smiled and stood by.

After the media interview, Qantas staff launched a cake that was already prepared.

Captain Brooke invited Xia Ruofei to cut the cake with him.

After sharing the big cake with everyone, Xia Ruofei gave a speech to the Qantas and was ready to go through the immigration formalities.
