Chapter 762 The Elephant Walks

 Inside the airport, minibuses are a bit inconvenient to use.

Especially when you have to go to the apron or even the taxiway later, the bigger the car, the greater the impact on airport dispatch.

 Therefore, everyone got into several soft-top Cheetah off-road vehicles and headed towards the tarmac.

At this time, the four JH-7As that were descending just now also landed on the runway in groups of two.

 This should be the fourth in the air formation.

Of course, the usual training processes of each formation are separate, and they are not necessarily organized in the order of being reviewed. Otherwise, Zheng Liangqun's interceptor wedge team would still be in the sky.

"After entering into small batch trial production last year, the production speed of the JH-7A has increased significantly this year. The 15th Regiment of the 5th Air Force Division and the 18th Regiment of the 6th HNA Division have begun to refit at the same time. In particular, the 18th Regiment has formed its first The complete J-7A brigade.”

Zheng Liangqun looked almost intently at the four aircraft not far away that had thrown away their drag chute and entered the taxiway, and said to Chang Haonan.

The 18th Regiment of the 6th HNA Division belongs to the East China Sea Fleet. This division also had a 16th Regiment equipped with the old JH-7 and a 17th Regiment equipped with the H-6D. They were obviously built as a fist force to attack the sea.

Even though the JH-7A model has become something that no one pays much attention to after more than 20 years, at this time, it is definitely the little sweet that all units are rushing to want.

As if to provide an explanation for Zheng Liangqun’s words, just as several cars parked on the tarmac, the outlines of five aircraft appeared vaguely in the distance again.

When the distance got slightly closer, Chang Haonan suddenly discovered that these four planes were not HNA's numbers starting with 8.

Chang Haonan even heard that some fighter units said that since they are called fighter-bombers, it would be okay for us to take a small loss and replace ourselves with some...

 “Is the formation training going well during this period?”

Ding Gaoheng immediately found a slightly shady position, raised his telescope and looked at the horizon.

"So after discussing with Commander-in-Chief Li, I decided to rename this formation the fighter-bomber formation, and then reduce the number of J-7Es in the next formation. Anyway, the J-7s... are not interesting, and then add a naval aviation wedge team. , 5 old model JH-7s.”

Chang Haonan was not in a hurry.

  He is not a member of the parade command organization, so it is naturally impossible for him to know the formation situation well in advance.

Chang Haonan vaguely remembered that during the military parade training in his previous life, a JH-7 was damaged due to operational errors.

"right."

Ding Gaoheng, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned around and asked.

 “Smoothly, quite smoothly.”

But it is enough to prove the popularity of this model.

Of course, the focus of fighter-bombers is bombing, and their beyond-visual-range and maneuverability are not the same as multi-role fighters.

After all, when he modified the JH-7 two years ago, he had already taken apart the model inside and out.

“Director Ding, Mr. Chang, telescope.”

Zheng Liangqun nodded:

“Initially, this formation plan was called a naval aviation formation, consisting of four Hainan Airlines JH-7A aircraft. However, by the time the official decision was made in the second half of last year, the equipment capacity of the JH-7A aircraft had already increased.”

 So they said that.

“After all, the deployment of troops for military parade cannot affect the combat effectiveness of front-line units too much. It is impossible to remove all the cutting-edge models.”

“So these four are aircraft of the 5th Air Force Division?”

After a few people got out of the car, Zheng Liangqun brought two telescopes from the makeshift command room nearby and handed them to them respectively.

Zheng Liangqun was about to raise his telescope, but he put it down after hearing Chang Haonan’s question:

"The Guihang Group developed a simple version for us based on the formation flight rangefinder in the nose of the J-9 aircraft that can be attached to the wing pylon of the front aircraft. Although the effect is not as good as the one used by the performance team, But it’s better than nothing.”

As he spoke, he pointed at the four JH-7A aircraft that were already on the taxiway.

Chang Haonan raised the telescope, and sure enough he saw a small, inconspicuous device hanging on the wingtips of each aircraft. It should be the one Zheng Liangqun was talking about.

In 1999 of the previous century, the underwings of the aircraft being reviewed were relatively clean, and there was no such thing as the later (and of course the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China) parades where the fighter planes were hung with bombs.

 Mainly, airborne ammunition also has a lifespan. At present, the Air Force is still relatively poor and cannot afford to fly hundreds of aircraft with live ammunition at once.

 But now, these aircraft have auxiliary fuel tanks and ammunition hung under their wings.

　　Although judging from the color scheme, it should be a training bomb, it also adds a lot of momentum to the fleet. “What about the mechanical condition of the aircraft? Especially the JH-7A with a new engine?”

 In non-war years, military parades are basically high-intensity actions, and the relevant data are still very valuable.

Compared with the few turbofan 10s specially sent by the turbofan 10 project team to support them, which flew directly from the combat troops, the JH-7A, which is uniformly supported by the air force ground support units, is obviously more representative.

"very good."

After Zheng Liangqun finished speaking, he turned around and shouted into the distance:

 “Team Leader Chen!”

After a while, an officer with the rank of colonel and wearing an air force camouflage uniform ran over from the side, stood at attention, and saluted the three of them.

 For a colonel, he looked very young and seemed to be in his early thirties.

“Chen Qin, leader of the 9910 project air formation service support team, please give instructions!”

“This is Comrade Chang Haonan, who is responsible for the overall design and production optimization of the turbofan 9A. Please report on the guarantee status of this model.”

 Zheng Liangqun ordered.

"yes!"

 Chen Qin took off the thread gloves on his hands, and then took out a tattered notebook from his coat pocket:

"The fourth formation's four JH-7A aircraft have flown a total of 85 hours since the centralized training, without any flight accidents. According to the support manual and daily post-flight inspections, a total of 107 parts involving the turbofan 9A engine were replaced normally. , on average, each flight hour corresponds to 34 maintenance hours, of which 11.5 maintenance hours are related to the engine... If the commander needs it, I still have all the maintenance and repair logs from the centralized training to the present!"

"Compared with the J-H-7 of the fifth formation, the average number of parts replaced by each engine of the Turbofan 9A is only 45% of that of the SPEI MK202, and the maintenance man-hours corresponding to each flight hour is 55% of that of the SPEI, and it is not in the maintenance process. A fault was discovered that required complete disassembly of the engine..."

　　　…”

 As the leader of the service support team, Chen Qin is in charge of all aircraft support work at WQ District Airport, so these data will naturally be concentrated in his hands.

 But it’s one thing to get the data, it’s another thing to compile it and carry it with you.

 It’s no wonder that he can become a colonel at such a young age.

Being specially selected to provide military parade support definitely reflects the trust of superiors.

In short, to sum up, the Turbofan 9A has completely surpassed the SPEI MK202.

 Recognizing this is not very important to Chang Haonan.

  After all, there is a gap of nearly 30 years between the engine of the late 1990s and the engine of the 1970s.

  But it is important for comrades in the Air Force.

  After replacing new equipment, especially new domestic equipment, pilots will be a little worried.

At this time, even if the technicians say 11,000 words, they can't compare with the opportunity to put the old and new models together for comparison.

The difference is immediately apparent.

  When new troops change their uniforms, it will be easier to accept psychologically.

 “Director Ding, Mr. Chang.”

After Chen Qin finished his report, Zheng Liangqun nodded, indicating that the other party could go back to work first, then turned around and looked at the two of them:

“I have prepared a surprise for you two today.”

As he said that, he stretched out his hand and gestured to the taxiway not far away.

Chang Haonan turned around following the other party's direction.

Then his expression suddenly brightened.

While listening to Chen Qin's report, the 9 aircraft that had just landed, as well as the other 3 J-H-7 and J-H-7A aircraft as backup aircraft, a total of 12 aircraft, were already forming a long queue over there, heading towards the shutdown together. Coming from Ping.

 12 aircraft, not a particularly large number.

 But the location where Chang Haonan and others are located is not an absolutely high place.

 So from their perspective, it really feels like an "elephant walking"...
