Chapter 590 New 1st Generation Training Aircraft System

Zhang Jiujiang is the veteran pilot who flew the J-7 with Chang Haonan into the sky to observe the airflow on the wing surface of the J-8C prototype.

Later, the two met again in Yan Liang.

At that time, Zhang Jiujiang was temporarily pulled over to fly the prototype of the J-7F to demonstrate its performance to foreign customers, while Chang Haonan happened to be working on the improvement of the J-7F in Haojing.

Haven't seen him since.

Due to the nature of Chang Haonan's work, he sees too many people every day, and Zhang Jiujiang is just an ordinary person who he has only met twice. What's more, during one of the meetings, the other person was wearing an oxygen mask and could not see his face clearly.

So when we first met, we didn't recognize each other's identity.

But for Zhang Jiujiang, in his more than 20 years of flying career, he has only carried one completely non-professional "passenger" in the back seat. Moreover, this passenger was deeply involved in the research and development of several aircraft models. His impression It's definitely quite profound.

And seeing the scene of two people shaking hands and hugging, the most shocked person was the sentry standing next to him who had just called the person out.

"Really a parent of a student?"

Looking at Chang Haonan's face, I really couldn't convince myself to believe this.

But Director Zhang obviously knows this person...

The sentry felt that his brain was about to burn.

In fact, not only him, but also Zhang Jiujiang was a little confused for a while.

But after all, he knew Chang Haonan's name, and he also knew that Chang Jiayao's father was Chang Yuanchao, and Chang Haonan was obviously not that old.

Therefore, after eliminating all possibilities, the correct answer was quickly guessed:

"So Mr. Chang, Chang Jiayao is your...sister?"

Chang Haonan still knew nothing about the small theater in the sentry's mind behind him, so he just nodded:

"Yes, my sister was admitted to your university last year. Since then, I have been busy with projects and have never met her. I have some free time recently, so I thought I would come and have a look."

For him, what just happened was that the sentry interrogated him normally and then called Zhang Jiujiang out.

Nothing unusual.

However, to the sentinel's ears, this conversation was different -

Zhang Jiujiang, Air Force Colonel.

He is the dean of the college’s aviation flight major and also serves as the instructional director of the flight training course.

Call this young man Mr. Chang...

hiss……

It's not that scary, but the embarrassment is real——

Although he was just following the rules on the surface and actually did nothing wrong, he knew the process of the brainstorming session better than anyone else.

It's quite a feeling like "your friend's son went shopping with his wife, but you mistakenly thought he was cheating on you, and you informed him about it, but you later found out that it was an accident."

Therefore, while no one was paying attention at the moment, he quietly hid back in the guard box to register the license plate.

"Okay, then I'll take you in, but today is not a day off. According to the rules, you have to wait until after class before meeting the students."

Zhang Jiujiang took Chang Haonan to write down his name, contact information and purpose of visit in the notebook, and then looked at Zhu Yadan not far away:

"This other one is..."

"Uh... Zhu Yadan, my guard."

Chang Haonan couldn't make up any reasonable identity for a while, so he had to tell the truth.

When he heard the last three words, Zhang Jiujiang's originally fluent writing suddenly trembled:

"I go……"

"you……"

Although the connection between the two systems of the military and the Science and Technology Commission is very close at the top level, at the bottom level, except for a few positions such as military representatives, there is not much overlap between them.

Although Zhang Jiujiang is a pilot, he cannot keep an eye on the development progress of new equipment all day long.

Besides, I don’t have that authority.

Therefore, he actually only vaguely knew that Chang Haonan's status within the aviation industry system should not be low.

But as a soldier, he knows very well who can be assigned as a personal guard in peacetime.

There are guard platoons at the regiment level, guard companies at the division level, and guard battalions at the corps level.

But these establishments are all allocated for the position of troop commander, not for individuals...

Therefore, Zhang Jiujiang subconsciously wanted to ask you what exactly you have done in the past two years, and even the security guards have been involved.

But in the end he didn't ask.

Years of organizational discipline have taught him that there are some things that should not be asked but should not be asked.

"Okay, registration is complete."

Zhang Jiujiang returned the registration form and pen to the sentry, and then saluted him:

"The vigilance is high, not bad."

He had been transferred to the flight academy for almost a year, so he could certainly guess what the sentry was thinking when he called him out.

Although the actual situation proved to be an own mistake, there is nothing wrong with this approach.

Regardless of deeds and intentions, as a superior, soldiers cannot be allowed to bear this psychological pressure for no reason.

After some maneuvers at the door, Chang Haonan finally entered the flight academy in Zhang Jiujiang's convertible jeep.

His own Jetta King parked in the parking lot near the entrance of the college.

"Actually, before I took the college entrance examination, I also thought about participating in the recruitment to become a pilot. Unfortunately, my teeth were not in good shape and the army confiscated me."

Chang Haonan sat in the passenger seat and looked at the students walking in columns on the road around them.

The seating arrangements in the military, especially in grassroots military units, are slightly different from those in different places. Generally, the co-pilot is seat 1.

Although registering for the college entrance examination actually happened decades ago for him, and he has long forgotten about it, he still can't help but feel a little emotional when he really mentions it.

A person's life is really unpredictable. You think I'm just...how can I...

Zhang Jiujiang also smiled:

"That's thanks to the recruiter who rejected you back then, otherwise our country would have lost an outstanding young scientist..."

Chang Haonan opened his mouth and found that he really couldn't answer the question, so he had to change the topic quietly:

"By the way, does Instructor Zhang take care of my sister's class?"

"To be precise, they are in charge of their class."

Zhang Jiujiang replied casually:

"Our country did not recruit female pilots every year in the past, so there was no universal training plan. This time, the superiors hope to use their batch to determine a systematic training method."

"What is the direction of their training? Fighters? Or transport aircraft?"

Chang Haonan suddenly remembered that Chang Jiayao had said on the phone that she wanted to fly a plane she designed.

"In the first two years, they are not separated, including when they are doing basic flight training on beginner aircraft, they are all together. They are separated only after the intermediate level. Fighters fly JJ-5, and transport aircraft and bombers fly H-Jiao 5."

Zhang Jiujiang replied:

"However, according to the current plan, female pilots will be assigned to the transport flight major. They still have to do it step by step. It is too risky to go directly to fighter jets."

"Speaking of fighter jets, I thought I could stay in the combat force for a few more years, fly the J-8C you built before transferring to an aviation school, but I didn't catch up with this opportunity."

Speaking of this, there was a bit of regret in his tone.

The combat troops also have training instructors, and this is the position that Zhang Jiujiang has been working in before.

However, he was later seconded to the test pilot group, and then came to the aviation school as a full-time instructor.

At this point, unless something unexpected happens, there will basically be no chance of returning to the combat unit.

Although it was his own choice to teach at an aviation school, as an Air Force pilot, it would be a lie to say that he did not want to fly the latest domestically produced aircraft.

"It doesn't matter. Our aviation school will definitely have new training aircraft. We can't always rely on JJ-5 and J-7."

At this time, K8’s self-use model Coach 8, as well as the Hun Yun Jiao 7 modified from the Yun 7, have not yet been finalized and put into service. Therefore, the aviation school’s coaching equipment is still based on the level of the s and s. In fact, it is already a bit Out of touch with the times.

"I do know about this. Guizhou Airlines has transformed the JJ-7 into a serious high-level trainer aircraft. It is said that the Bayi Aerobatic Team will also use this model."

Although Zhang Jiujiang didn't know Chang Haonan's role in the JJ-9 project, he still heard about the new model:

"If you ask me, as long as I can replace the JJ 7, anything will do."

Chang Haonan naturally understands the resentment of the pilots, especially the flight instructor in the back seat, towards the JJ-7.

After all, he had experienced it.

"Isn't there another K8 over there in Hongdu? It has been exported a lot. It should be a sure thing that it will replace Chujiao 5."

Chang Haonan continued to comfort him.

"It's hard to say."

Zhang Jiujiang's attitude was somewhat uncertain:

"It is now said that the superiors are hesitating whether to continue to retain the three-level coaching system of junior-intermediate-senior, or to replace the junior coach 6 with a more advanced model and become a two-level coaching system of junior-senior. The fourth year Let the trainees directly join the army and start flying the training model of the main fighter aircraft."

"Is there such a thing?"

Chang Haonan raised his eyebrows.

"It's just a rumor, I'm not sure yet."

Zhang Jiujiang just mentioned it casually.

He felt that at his age, he might not have much hope before the flight was grounded.

But this was a wake-up call for Chang Haonan.

The aviation industry in Hongdu has been having a tough time lately.

Because the JH-7A appeared five years earlier than the original timeline, the Qiang 5D, which was supposed to be finalized and equipped with troops in batches, was directly squeezed out of its ecological niche and transferred to the technical reserve.

It's a big loss.

Although this fact cannot really be blamed on him, if there is a chance, it would be better to help him.
