Dragoon fighter

Through the large number of business marketing books purchased on behalf of others, Sally, a Pathan native, gradually grew up and absorbed knowledge like a sponge, and her horizons gradually broadened. Dragoon Mining Company, under the leadership of this female CEO of Patan, gradually took shape and grew stronger bit by bit.

When the Gemstone Valley was undergoing vigorous construction, Lin Mo did not stay at the base of the "Dark Night" special service brigade.

The last mission was carefully set up by foreign forces, and the "Dark Night" who had been identified as an inseparable person was also exposed accordingly. In order to avoid something unfavorable to Lin Mo from happening again, the superiors specially arranged a period of time During the hibernation period, let Lin Mo come out for activities after the limelight has passed.

The "vacation assignment" proposed by Colonel Qi is still under review and approval. I don't know when I will get this assignment order to take a vacation for myself.

Anyway, the plane is gone, so there is no point in staying in the air crew hangar with Ji. Domestic aircraft manufacturers have already booked their orders. It’s not that they don’t want to make a profit, but that the production efficiency is really not going to be high. This is not a printing machine. They are all time-consuming and labor-intensive finishing products that are affected by the yield rate of supporting factories.

Moreover, there is no certainty when the new aircraft will arrive, and the model of the aircraft is yet to be determined. Whether it is J-10a, J-10b, or J-11, there is no approval from superiors.

A pilot without a seat is worse than an infantryman. Of course, if the guy with the gold coin is no good, he won't be turned into a car to accompany Lin Mo for flight training.

As expected, Lin Mo found his mistress again, yes, mistress. In addition to Lin Mo's original J-10 Fu, the P-51 "Mustang" of the second room's "Monster" happened to be the mistress.

This P-51 "Mustang" piston fighter parked at an air force base in central China has changed drastically and has a completely new appearance.

The standard Mi color painting and the big August 1st logo will make foreigners vomit blood if they see it. How come this original American product during World War II turned into a fighter series in service in China?

For Lin Mo, an ace, he only needs to perform combat missions like the previous J-10a. There is basically no difference when flying designated routes.

Unlike when I was in Afghanistan, I had nothing to ask for. On the contrary, domestic materials were abundant, and the improvement and repair work of the P-51 "Mustang" was extremely smooth. By the way, it doesn’t cost a lot of money to place a few parts orders. It doesn’t even require a specialized aircraft manufacturer. General machining companies can do it. The structure of a piston fighter is much simpler than that of a jet-powered fighter, especially the instrument panel, which is only slightly more complicated than the driver's seat of a car. There is not even a radar on the aircraft.

After further modifications, the machine gun positions on the left and right sides of the wing were directly modified into two 8-meter caliber machine guns. The automatic ammunition supply boxes can hold 300 rounds of bullets each. The pylons under the wings were modified to be able to mount short-range missiles and rocket nests. Although there are only two pylons on each wing, they are enough. An infrared thermal bomb launcher was modified under the belly, which can fire 24 missiles continuously. Heat bombs.

There is a computer system loaded into the fuselage, and the cockpit is no different from the cockpit of a modern fighter jet, except that it is much more streamlined. Before the official car arrived, Lin Mo strengthened the P-51 "Mustang" to the existing extent. The performance limit.

It cannot carry a fire radar like a jet fighter. Lin Mo installed a small disk-shaped radar on the fuselage behind the cockpit. It was not powerful, but it was enough to deal with targets within 20 kilometers.

Fire control radar cannot be installed unless an electronic pod radar plug-in is mounted. However, the P-51 "Mustang" is not suitable for over-the-horizon lock-on attacks. The ability to mount short-range air-to-air missiles is already the limit.

Modern high-precision equipment and technical means are loaded onto this old fighter jet without increasing the weight of the aircraft. Instead, this "Mustang" abandoned some stupid and bulky equipment, successfully lost weight, and became nearly a ton lighter. The engine components were replaced with better quality parts, and the performance of the entire aircraft was once again raised to a higher level.

Under Lin Mo's modification. This P-51 "Mustang" has reached the performance limit of a piston fighter, and its endurance has also been improved a lot, and its range is even farther than that of the J-10.

In fact, the factory load resistance standard of this P-51d is not much worse than that of the J-8, it can reach 7.33g, and the theoretical design value is more than 12g, so there is more room for modification. If it is replaced by a nearby aircraft, it can still It's really not enough for Lin Mo to bother with.

As long as you can maintain it yourself and don't take off without authorization, your superiors don't care whether the pilot owns such a big toy. The use and maintenance of aircraft are demanding. Aircrafts, especially fighter jets, are not si cars, so accidents like this usually don't happen. may appear.

Just as Lin Mo packed up the P-51 "Mustang", the transfer order from his superiors was also transferred to the air force base where Lin Mo was located, ordering him to go to the South China Sea and follow the Dalian Naval Academy who was conducting military training in the South China Sea. The No. 83 aircraft carrier training ship gathered together and served as carrier-based aircraft instructors to provide training assistance to aircraft carrier pilots.

When Lin Mo was a guest test pilot at Defense Star Aerospace Company, his driving skills had already conquered quite a few domestic experts and aviation professionals.

A quasi-expert who is proficient in aircraft design, familiar with mechanical structures and has practical skills, and is building his own fighter ace. No one will question the decision of his superiors.

An ace pilot who has experienced firefights between India and Pakistan and performed many actual combat missions, he has rich practical experience and owns J-10, L-15 Falcon, J-8, FC-1 Xiaolong, X-1 experimental aircraft, J- 14 and J-20 and other fighter jets, and his combat skills are first-class. Lin Mo has no pressure to serve as an aircraft carrier flight instructor. He has enough qualifications to serve as a teaching mission on China's first aircraft carrier.

Even for short takeoffs and landings on an aircraft carrier, he has sufficient control skills.

Lin Mo was the only one who set out, and the order passed only gave him a coordinate area and arrival time.

Transportation? No!

Lin Mo brought his own dry food, daily necessities, and plane. He flew there by himself. It was another self-driving trip.

Just kidding, an excellent aircraft design expert, an excellent mechanic, plus an ace in air combat, a guy who can easily catch an aircraft back even if it ejects. Just for him, if a warship or a carrier-based aircraft is specially dispatched, Picking him up and dropping him off was a waste of time and money. The cost of one round trip was enough to pay Lin Mo ten years of salary.

It's not as convenient as Lin Mo himself driving the P-51 "Mustang" he picked up for free.

The No. 83 aircraft carrier is the "Varyag" aircraft carrier purchased from Ukraine. It was renovated and renovated at the Dalian Shipyard. It is a medium-sized conventionally powered aircraft carrier.

It is also equipped with powerful anti-ship, air defense and anti-submarine weapons. It is powered by 4 steam turbines and 4 steam boilers, and is propelled by 4 shafts, 4 propellers and twin rudders.

The bow of the ship uses a ski-jump take-off deck, and there are 4 aircraft landing blocking ropes and an emergency blocking net in the middle of the ship. The bridge island-style building is located on the right side of the flight deck, with a deck hangar elevator at the front and rear. It has now been officially commissioned and has become China's first aircraft carrier.

The 300-meter-long flight deck of this aircraft carrier makes taking off and landing stress-free for the P-51 Mustang, a piston fighter.

With the order in hand, Lin Mo quickly prepared. He did not carry missiles and went into battle lightly. He only loaded ammunition belts for the machine guns on both wings as self-defense. He also hung two disposable auxiliary fuel tanks on the wings, carrying some of his own. As for personal items, I just took off in a single plane.

"Call 'Mustang'! Call 'Mustang'! This is 'Turtle', please call back if you hear me!"

After refueling at Lingshui Air Force Base in Sanya, Hainan, Lin Mo's P-51 "Mustang" took off again and flew towards the designated coordinate area according to satellite navigation.

Just after entering the high seas, the radio station heard the voice of the tower of Sanya Lingshui Air Force Base. The tower code-named "Turtle" did not express much surprise at the strange aircraft passing by like Lin Mo.

As an aviation professional, I naturally recognize this aircraft that was very popular during the Second World War. It has a maximum range of 3,860 kilometers and can easily fly directly from Beijing to Sanya.

Of course, you can also start from Sanya, cross the South China Sea, or even fly over the Nansha Islands to reach Malaysia. The superiors asked Lin Mo to fly this old piston fighter to the rendezvous area by himself. For this reason, the p-51 Its performance in long-distance voyages is impeccable.

"'Mustang' received! Please tell me if you have anything to say."

Lin Mo turned on the light microscope and overlaid it with the radar screen, and began to conduct routine scans within a hundred kilometers around him.

"According to meteorological satellite remote sensing, there may be level 7 wind and waves in the area of ​​xx east longitude and xx north latitude. It is recommended to return and rest until the weather conditions are good before going there."

It seems that the Sanya Air Force Base has obtained the latest weather change data. If the level 7 wind and waves are not controlled well, landing will be troublesome.

"Mustang received, no problem! I can handle it!"

Lin Mo was no stranger to flying in harsh weather. When he was in the Slan Empire, he and his gold coins had many times fought to the death with enemy aerial knights in violent storms.

"Please be safe! Have a safe journey!"

Because he is not affiliated with the "Turtle", Lin Mo was not forced to return. As a pilot, self-discipline is necessary. If it works, it will work, and if it doesn't, it will not work. It is absolutely not allowed to fly reluctantly in an uncontrollable environment. Lin Mo can say this: "Turtle" "I also believe that the other party can handle it. ! .
