"Look! It's an airplane!!!!!"
"Principal Su, is this a big enough surprise?"
The "Red Eagles" aerobatic team from the Third Flight Academy of the Air Force appeared high in the sky.
Seven J-8 trainer jets, trailing colored smoke, roared past in the sky.
Like a magnificent rainbow,
The lead aircraft's series of continuous rolls drew cheers from the VIPs present.
Su Lin never expected that Commander Tang would even bring the aerobatic team.
Besides large-scale air shows, there are also military parades, but this team will not perform publicly.
"Is this the prestige of the Eight Heroes of National Defense?"
"This is the prestige of the first of the Eight Sons of National Defense. Have you seen any other university hold such a ceremony before?"
"Were there planes providing support?"
"The last time I saw the 'Red Eagle' performance team was on CCTV!"
"President of Shandong University, this young man is truly formidable!"
Amid cheers from the crowd, the "Red Eagles" aerobatic team showcased a variety of formations, including javelin throwers, diamond formations, and falcon formations.
"Commander Tang, you've really gone to great lengths!"
"Isn't this a good omen for the J-20's maiden flight tomorrow? Commander Wang will also be coming tomorrow."
Is there anything wrong with the maiden flight plan?
Commander Tang was ostensibly offering congratulations on the groundbreaking ceremony.
All I care about is the maiden flight of the J-20.
"Everything is going according to plan!"
After the Red Eagles aerobatic team's spectacular flight,
The groundbreaking ceremony also concluded successfully.
The construction team from the winning bidder has begun moving into the construction site.
Three months later, the second phase of Lanxiang Vocational College will be officially put into use.
Commander Wang also arrived at Commander Tang's office in the Northern Military Region that same day.
"Commander Tang, Commander Wang is already waiting for you in your office."
After attending the groundbreaking ceremony, Commander Tang returned to the Northern Military Region base.
Then I heard from the secretary that Commander Wang had arrived.
"Commander Wang, when did we arrive?"
"Just arrived! How did today's groundbreaking ceremony go? Was it successful?"
Are you more concerned about whether the groundbreaking ceremony goes smoothly or whether the J-20's maiden flight tomorrow will go smoothly?
"Look at what you're saying! I care about Principal Su's affairs. He's our precious son now!"
"Don't worry, we'll go to Base 031 tomorrow morning. I just spoke with Principal Su."
The maiden flight plan for tomorrow is proceeding smoothly!
"That's good! I wonder how capable the J-20 is. I heard from Principal Su that it's a fifth-generation fighter."
We don't know how it will perform in actual combat!
Given the current situation in Philippine waters, to force the US aircraft carrier fleet to retreat...
That's practically impossible, unless China builds its own, more powerful aircraft carrier battle group.
This is much more difficult than developing a J-20.
Currently, China's aircraft carrier field is almost entirely nonexistent.
Even the Indians at least have a second-hand item purchased from Britain.
"Whether it's a donkey or a horse, we'll know after taking it out for a spin. As long as the maiden flight is successful..."
"We'll both apply for the military service permits; they should be approved in a few days!"
"Okay! We'll have to feel our way across the river!"
"Stay at my place tonight?"
As Commander Tang's senior, and when Commander Wang served at the grassroots level,
They used to live in the same house, and unexpectedly, decades later, they both became leaders of military regions.
"Come on, I've put up with your snoring for years, I never want to hear it again."
Besides, I'm on exchange with a colleague from another unit; aren't you going to give me a single room?
"Everything is done according to the rules and regulations, okay? Besides, will you be able to sleep tonight? The fifth-generation fighter jet is having its maiden flight test tomorrow."
Let's have a drink tonight and catch up!
........
The next day, before Commander Tang had even sobered up, there was a knock at the door.
I glanced at the clock on the wall; it was only 6 a.m.
"Commander Wang, we can leave at 9 o'clock. We still need to refuel and do pre-flight checks."
With all the procedures in place, it's impossible for the plane to take off before noon!
"Did I come to watch the maiden flight? I came to learn technology from Principal Su!"
Look, I've brought the strongest air force pilots and engineering team from my entire military region!"
Commander Tang peeked out and saw that there were at least 20 or 30 people standing in the corridor.
"Let me wash up first!"
"Hurry up!!!! Just brush your teeth and call it a day!"
Commander Tang notified the motor pool team, along with Commander Wang and relevant technical personnel.
We arrived at the 031 R&D base in a business van.
It was just past 9 a.m.
"Principal Su, Commander Tang's men have arrived!"
Su Lin nodded.
"Did all the routine pre-flight checks go smoothly?"
"Principal Su, we've already checked the previous records, and all systems are functioning normally!"
"Notify the pilots to conduct a final equipment check!"
The pilots for this maiden flight were selected by Dean Miao from the Fifth Research Institute.
With 20 years of flying experience, starting from research and development,
Su Lin then handed him the J-20's user manual and maintenance manual for him to study carefully.
Although it was my first time piloting a real aircraft, I was very familiar with all of its systems.
"Principal Su, we've finally made it! How's the progress?"
Principal Su pointed to the J-20 on the runway.
The fuel truck is undergoing final refueling.
