"Calling control tower, the gyrfalcon is ready for takeoff!"
"Tower received, the gyrfalcon may take off."
"Received, Haidongqing".
After receiving the order from the ground control tower, Yuan Yi immediately activated the throttle valve.
The 20-Princess S began to slowly glide on the track.
After a burst of acceleration, Yuan Yi suddenly pulled the control lever.
Princess S flapped her wings and took flight into the sky.
Chen Yadong, Yuan Yi's wingman who was keeping in sync with him, also took off at the same time.
The subsequent 20-Princess S formation also began taking off in batches.
One by one, fighter jets took off directly into the sky, forming formations at high altitudes before waiting for early warning aircraft and bombers to take off.
After forming a squadron, they began to complete their aerial training program.
Cross-day and night transfer flights have always been one of the most difficult flight training subjects.
Night flying is also a challenge for pilots, mainly because it presents various hidden dangers and limitations.
However, this is also one of the subjects that pilots must be trained in.
Just because it's nighttime doesn't mean the enemy won't attack, right? Are we supposed to wait until you can fly during the day before we fight?
No, so we should just train diligently.
"I am a golden eagle, calling the gyrfalcon."
At this moment, in the communication channel, Fang Min, the squadron leader who was in command in the airborne early warning aircraft, called out to Yuan Yi directly.
"Gyrfalcon received, Golden Eagle, please speak!"
"This is your first time performing such a mission, a 24-hour non-stop flight that spans day and night."
"Report any problems that arise during the process immediately."
Jin Diao Fangmin was also worried about Yuan Yi.
Although Fang Min had a general understanding of his flying skills.
However, long-duration, uninterrupted 24-hour flights are not only a test of flying skills.
It is also a huge challenge to both the body and mind.
Such day-and-night flight training, which includes combat drills and instrument flight, hones pilots' all-weather combat capabilities and improves their flying skills.
This was Yuan Yi's first time carrying out such a mission, so Fang Min was worried about whether he could handle it.
In particular, this day-and-night training exercise involved more than just flying.
There are still many subjects that need to be trained.
This is incredibly taxing on the body's energy.
Yuan Yi naturally understood what Fang Min meant from her words.
"Golden Eagle, don't worry!"
"I'm all okay."
This was child's play for Yuan Yi.
He now possesses the ability to have unlimited stamina, so he's not afraid of any kind of exertion.
Moreover, this is an opportunity for him to improve his fighter jet piloting skills.
He's currently at the Master level in fighter jet skills, and if he wants to upgrade again...
Besides having an incredible number of skill points, he also needs a deeper understanding of fighter piloting.
If he relies solely on skill points, his driving skills will never reach their peak.
They took off at eight o'clock in the morning, and during the day they conducted relevant training exercises over Kunming.
It lasted until 3:10 p.m.
"All fighter jets, listen up! Refuel in airspace number three, form two-aircraft formations, and begin heading south!"
In an instant, all the fighter jets began to leave training mode, and then the lead aircraft and wingman formed a two-aircraft formation and began to assemble in airspace number three.
They will wait for refueling, and once refueling is complete, they will immediately begin long-distance flight training that spans day and night.
"Calling the gyrfalcon."
"Received, Haidongqing".
"Next group, you're up!"
"Received, gyrfalcon!"
While circling in the air waiting for refueling, Yuan Yi received orders from the golden eagle Fang Min.
"Flying Eagle, calling Flying Eagle."
"Go, next group! Let's go!"
"Flying Eagle received!"
After refueling, the forward formation of aircraft disembarked from the tanker aircraft.
Yuan Yi immediately controlled the 20-Ji S to move closer to the refueling aircraft.
This wasn't Yuan Yi's first time carrying out an aerial refueling mission; he skillfully maneuvered the fighter jet close to the refueling probe.
Once the docking was completed, the aerial refueling plan was then executed.
Once the fighter jet is fully fueled, it will immediately detach from the refueling hose.
Then, pulling the control stick directly turned the direction, adjusted the flight path, and began flying towards the South Island.
To put it bluntly, flying across day and night is not only boring, but also a test of one's willpower.
After they finished refueling in Kunming, they began flying along the designated route.
The group started chatting on the communicator.
"Hello, hello, calling the gyrfalcon."
"Gyrfalcon received, Owl, please speak!"
What was it like flying at night for the first time?
Yuan Yi looked around. Apart from the lights on his own cockpit instrument panel, everything else was pitch black.
There wasn't a single ray of light; not even the stars in the sky appeared today.
Keep in mind that they were thousands of meters in the air!
"I didn't really understand anything, it was just black and black!"
Yuan Yi, controlling the fighter jet and maintaining formation flight, spoke to the owl.
"Haha, don't you think it's cool to pee on a fighter jet?"
"······"
Yuan Yi was speechless after hearing what the owl said.
"No, is it something to be proud of that you're wearing diapers?!"
Yuan Yi really wanted to complain to him.
Yes, you read that right.
They fly around the clock, day and night, and every fighter pilot wears adult diapers.
Of course, this diaper is not the kind commonly found on the market.
This is a piece of equipment specifically produced for fighter pilots.
Using the Advanced Mission Range Extender (AMXD): This is a high-end solution consisting of a urine collection device, controller, pump, tubing, battery, and special underwear.
The underwear comes in two sizes, one for men and one for women. The women's underwear is shaped like a sanitary napkin, while the men's underwear is cup-shaped.
Before boarding, pilots must place the urine collection device at the bottom of their special underwear and then put on their flight suit.
After urinating, the user simply presses the controller attached to the front of the waist, and the urine is pumped through a tube into a reservoir containing chemical gel.
Of course, such equipment is not necessary for short-term flight training.
Only those who conduct long-distance training and 24-hour non-stop flight training would specifically wear such equipment when boarding the plane.
As for my feelings, they were just average.
So Yuan Yi was speechless after hearing the owl's teasing words.
With one hand gripping the joystick out of boredom, Yuan Yi tore open a piece of chocolate with the other.
Their long training sessions had exhausted them, leaving them no way to land and replenish their energy.
Therefore, they carried some water and food to replenish their abilities.
