As the capital of Manus Province, Lorengau naturally has its own airport.
However, the airport is a bit far from Lorengo, more than 20 kilometers.
Lorengau Airport is built at the easternmost tip of Manus Island, and the runway is less than 100 meters from the sea.
The name of this airport is Momote Airport. It was originally a field airport built by the Japanese who occupied Manus Island. Later in 1944, the US-Australia coalition took six weeks to capture Lorengau and began to expand the field airport. It was eventually expanded into a large airport that can take off and land large long-range bombers. After Papua New Guinea's independence, this airport became the civil airport of Lorengau.
Under the protection of a group of twelve bodyguards, Yang Jing flew back to Port Moresby from Momote Airport. Then he met with Guo Dabao from the branch and talked in detail for half an afternoon. After dinner, he took a direct flight to Manila.
The most direct way to get to the Northern Mariana Islands from Papua New Guinea is to fly directly to Saipan. However, there is no direct flight from Papua New Guinea to Saipan, so you can only fly to Manila, which is the closest to Saipan, and then change flights from Manila to Saipan.
After flying in the air for five hours, it was already late at night when we arrived in Manila. After staying in the hotel that we had booked in advance for one night, the next morning, the group of thirteen people continued to take a United Airlines flight directly to Saipan, 2,600 kilometers away.
It was afternoon when we arrived at Saipan. The weather was great and visibility was extremely high. When the plane circled and descended, we could even see Guam, which was about 200 kilometers to the south. Of course, Ning Island and Song Song Island between Saipan and Guam could be seen more clearly.
Seeing that Yang Jing was very interested in the islands in the south, Chris, who was sitting next to Yang Jing, smiled and said, "Boss, are you interested in Guam?"
Yang Jing glanced at Chris beside him, nodded slightly and said, "I'm not that interested, I just want to take a look at the famous Apra Naval Base and Anderson Air Force Base, and see how this Guam base deters the entire East Asia."
Chris seemed to have heard the hostility in his boss's tone. He scratched his hair and said, "Boss, that base was built by those damn politicians. You..."
Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand to interrupt Chris, "Chris, I don't mean anything else. Although I feel uncomfortable about the existence of the US military base in Guam, I also know that there is nothing I can do about it. So, you don't have to explain. I'm not as cunning as you think."
Chris frowned, as if he felt that the topic he just brought up was extremely stupid. The boss is Chinese, and the relationship between China and the United States is so tense now. The US military base in Guam is a sword hanging over China's head. It would be strange if the boss liked that place.
But Chris was quite quick-witted. As he was thinking, he suddenly slapped his head and said, "Boss, do you want to take a ride on the main fighter jet currently in service in the United States? Enjoy the thrill of supersonic flight?"
What's more, Chris's words really surprised Yang Jing. "Why, can you let me take the F35 or F22?"
Upon hearing this, Chris's face suddenly turned bitter, "Boss, please stop joking, okay? Even if I can let you get on the F35 or F22, where will you sit? Both of these fighters are single-seat..."
Yang Jing was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake. When talking about advanced American fighter jets, the first thing that comes to mind is the famous F22 "Raptor", and then the most advanced and most expensive fifth-generation fighter F35, but these two advanced fighter jets are single-seat fighter jets, which can only accommodate one pilot.
Even the carrier-based F18 "Hornet" is a single-seat, twin-engine fighter.
Yang Jing smiled and shook his head and asked, "Okay, Chris, I made a mistake. So what type of fighter jet do you have that can take me on?"
"It's an F15 Eagle fighter, to be exact, an F15D two-seat trainer."
"A trainer plane..." Yang Jing was a little disappointed.
"Boss, don't underestimate this trainer. It has all the combat capabilities of the F15C fighter and conformal fuel tanks. It is not comparable to the old F15B trainer. Moreover, although the F15 is an old model, it is currently the main active fighter in the US Air Force. The F22 and F35 are advanced, but they are too expensive. The US Air Force does not have that much money to equip so many F22s and F35s. Moreover, the F22 is not a fighter in the pure sense. To be precise, the F22 is a fighter-bomber."
After Chris said this, Yang Jing finally understood the difference between the F15 and the F22. However, Yang Jing was also very curious about how Chris could let an outsider ride on this kind of aircraft.
But Yang Jing did not ask this question, because Yang Jing did not believe that Chris could let him enter Anderson Air Force Base and let him ride in an F15 fighter jet, even a trainer plane was unlikely.
In addition, the plane was about to land, so Yang Jing had no time to ask this.
After the Boeing 777 passenger plane landed safely at Cobler International Airport on Saipan Island, Yang Jing felt very comfortable when he passed through the gate and left the terminal building.
Saipan is located in the northern hemisphere. Although the latitude is relatively low, it is already January. Most parts of the northern hemisphere are in winter. Even in Saipan, this season is the coolest in the year. It is much more comfortable than Lorengao and Moresby south of the equator.
