Chapter 609 F-15D

The F15 in front of us is a typical twin-engine, two-seat heavy fighter. The two seats in the cockpit are arranged one in front and one in the back. In normal combat, the aircraft is mainly controlled from the front cabin, so that the pilot in the front cabin can concentrate on flight control and air defense tasks, while the back seat is responsible for ground strikes, thereby improving the effectiveness of weapons and equipment and enhancing the fighter's strike and survivability.

However, this is an F15D trainer aircraft, a twin-engine, two-seat trainer aircraft converted from the F15C single-seat, twin-engine air superiority fighter.

Although this is a trainer aircraft, it has all the combat capabilities of the F15C, but it is not equipped with the AN/ALQ-135 electronic jamming equipment of the C-type. The main difference in appearance is the addition of a rear seat instructor seat. The rear seat instructor seat has full control capabilities and good visibility, and can complete any maneuvers within the flight envelope, including takeoff and landing. Since the C-type is mainly used for training, the rear seat is unable to control the avionics system and weapon equipment used for combat.

However, because Yang Jing does not know how to fly a fighter plane, he will sit obediently in the back seat for a while, and George will control the plane in the front seat.

After walking around the plane, Yang Jing was very satisfied. He was really satisfied. Being able to get close to this fighter and riding on it was definitely not something that ordinary people could do.

Although Oracle's Larry Ellison bought a retired MiG-29 fighter jet for $6 million to drive to work, can the MiG-29 compare with this heavy fighter? If the two met in the air, the MiG-29 would be crushed.

The performance in the Kosovo War in 1999 already showed the gap between the two fighters.

In the Kosovo War, 11 out of 16 MiG-29s of the Yugoslav Knight Squadron were shot down by F16s and F15s, while no US aircraft was shot down. At that time, the F16 was actually a helper for the F15, and the main combat aircraft was the F15.

That's how big the gap is between the two.

However, if you want to fly in the sky on this plane, a series of preparations are required, the most basic of which is to change into a flight suit.

Paul led George and Yang Jing to a corner of the hangar. George said to Yang Jing, "Boss, before we get on the plane, we must change into flight suits to ensure safety. I won't take you on board without them."

After opening the two boxes in the corner, Yang Jing saw two complete sets of flight suits inside, including helmets, masks, anti-gravity suits and life jackets. These are important protective equipment for pilots in flight training, combat and distress rescue.

Yang Jing knew that if he didn't want to be abused in bed, he'd better put on this thing obediently.

The flight suit is the military uniform worn by pilots when performing flight missions. It is an important equipment to ensure that flight personnel can work normally during flight, especially in high altitude, low air pressure, lack of oxygen and other conditions.

These two sets of flight suits are desert yellow, a color used for wear in desert environments. They are protective colors and can serve as camouflage if the pilot is shot down.

The flight suit is a one-piece suit, which means the top and pants are connected together. There are pockets everywhere on it, which are used by pilots to carry the necessary daily necessities during flight and after parachuting. Of course, according to normal requirements, pilots must be equipped with a pistol before boarding the plane, in order to protect important aircraft data and personal safety in case of an accidental forced landing. But this is a trainer plane, so there is no need to wear that thing.

Yang Jing had never worn this thing before, but both Chris and John knew how to put on a flight suit, so with their help, Yang Jing began to put on the flight suit.

"BOSS, this flight suit is an advanced modern flight suit. It combines the functions of high-altitude compensation suit, anti-gravity suit and temperature-regulating suit. Put it on, and you and George will be able to fly freely in the sky in a while." Chris introduced it to Yang Jing while helping him put on the flight suit.

"Chris, why are there no buttons or zippers on this flight suit? They're all nylon snap fasteners."

"Yes, this is because in the early 1950s, during a French military exercise, an ace pilot of the French Air Force was killed in a plane crash because a button fell into the instrument. Since that accident, flight suits all over the world have no buttons and zippers. They have all been replaced by nylon snap fasteners."

Yang Jing sighed: "This is terrifying."

Chris smiled and said, "That's right. Pilots, especially fighter pilots, are probably the most dangerous professions in the world, so you must be fully prepared before boarding. Just like the flight suit you are wearing, it looks like an ordinary work suit on the surface, but it is full of high-tech content. Just like the high-altitude compensation suit inside the suit, this thing has no effect during normal flight at high altitudes, but once the cockpit loses its airtightness or the pilot leaves the plane in an emergency, the oxygen regulator or parachute oxygen supply automatically and quickly fills the compensation suit and the closed helmet with oxygen. The compensation suit forms a compensatory pressure on the pilot's body surface corresponding to the residual pressure in the closed helmet, maintaining the balance of internal and external pressures in the human body, preventing lung damage, improving respiratory and circulatory functions, and avoiding the additional effects of high-altitude hypoxia and pressurized oxygen supply on the human body."

It took a few minutes to put on the clothes. Chris patted Yang Jing's helmet and said with a smile: "Boss, you can board the plane now."

Clark had already pushed over a movable ladder and placed it on the side of the fuselage.
