Chapter 224: Aviation machine gun strafing

The pilot Scott, who was in charge of teaching Li Changheng to fly the P51, and was also responsible for investigating the establishment and operation of the base, contacted Li Changheng for a week.

Not only was he extremely jealous of his super memory and comprehension ability, but he was also not satisfied with the ten thousand dollars that he had already put in his pocket.

The National Guard, which Zipten failed to join, easily accepted Li Changheng's words, and became a lieutenant pilot under the recommendation and affirmation of Scott, who was in charge of the inspection.

But this lieutenant put it plainly, for the fighter pilot is a rookie start.

The ranks of fighter pilots in various countries generally pass the assessment. After becoming a full-fledged pilot, they start as a lieutenant, and some particularly powerful entry-level pilots are directly captained.

No one cares about Li Changheng's P51 propeller fighter and a lieutenant of the National Guard, and no one will bother him.

Of course, the bigger reason is that the money is in place.

Not only did Li Changheng know that the Vietnam War was almost impossible to fight, but many people in the army also knew it.

Before this major wave of retirement, not only was the internal morale of the Mi Army depressed and management chaotic, it was also easier to collect money and even be left unattended.

After all, in order to clean up the inventory, if the military industry groups keep up and down, countless ammunition and equipment will have to rot in their own hands.

In this case, Li Changheng managed a lieutenant colonel in charge of reviewing military ranks, and it only cost 1,000 US dollars.

Looking for the person in charge of equipment logistics, he pulled out a car of 12.7mm airborne machine gun bullets from the warehouse, which cost 1,200 US dollars.

And the other party is also responsible for sending it.

Of course, the bullets that this vehicle needs for training must be approved by Lieutenant Colonel Edmund at the Sono Air Patrol Base, and a training application must be written to it.

After obtaining permission, the plane can load live ammunition and launch into the air.

..........

Check his parachute, and check the aircraft's control equipment again. Li Changheng is facing Scott, who will be lifted into the air with him, thumbs up more than ten meters away.

Then he said to the flight helmet on his head, "Tower tower, tower tower, this is Sono 1, request to take off, request to take off."

Lieutenant Colonel Edmund, wearing headphones, stood in the tower and said with a thumbs up, "You can take off, good luck."

The exterior of Li Changheng's driver was shiny silver, and the air outlet of the P51 engine was renewed inside, and a burst of black smoke suddenly appeared.

The propeller turned rapidly, pushing the plane slowly and sliding for 100 meters, the plane shook off the ground with a slight shake, and took off little by little to the sky.

He flew a propeller plane many times, and even when he was learning to fly in a small town in Ohio, he had already flown Li Changheng who had removed all combat parts and converted it into a trainer aircraft.

At this time, you are familiar with flying without talking about driving, and at least there will be no operational accidents.

Unlike the already civilian P51, the P51D retains all the functions of the fighter jet. Not only does it fly at a top speed of 709, but the six 12.7 mm machine guns are all real guys.

And since you have the qualifications to train pilots, although it is difficult to apply for live ammunition, it is not impossible to do so.

The only thing to remember is that you must never fly an airplane out of a restricted area.

Otherwise, it will soon be warned by the radar monitoring point, and there will even be jet fighters from other places.

However, this is a restriction on military aircraft.

In the United States that has never experienced the Twin Towers crash, civil aviation control is not only not as strict as expected, but it is even a bit unbelievable.

According to the scheduled flight route, it flew directly to the canyon more than 20 kilometers away from the town of Sono, and then followed the several kilometers long canyon to the west for 110 kilometers, arriving at the border with California and starting to turn around.

Back to the canyon area of ​​Sono Town again, it was finally time for live ammunition.

Listening to Scott's precautions while shooting live ammunition in his ears, Li Changheng held the hand of the joystick and gently shook it from side to side.

The plane swayed from side to side twice, took a deep breath, pushed the control stick forward, and the nose immediately plunged down 60 degrees.

Seeing the canyon in the sight getting closer, Li Changheng's index finger pressed the machine gun shooting button on the joystick.

"Da da da, da da da, da da da."

Three consecutive bursts, dozens of 12.7mm airborne machine gun bullets, howled and hit several huge rocks in the canyon.

With an excited heart beating Li Changheng, as soon as he pulled the control stick, the plane began to raise his head more than four hundred meters away and rose to the sky again.

He doesn't make flying maneuvers that are too dangerous.

He dived back and forth at 60 degrees six times in a row, not within 30 degrees, which was the most dangerous, and shot all the 300 rounds of machine gun bullets on board before he flew back to high altitude.

Formed a flying formation with Scott, lowered the altitude and flew straight along the border line to the border with New Mexico, then turned around and flew back.

The morning patrol is complete.

Moreover, the next flight will have to wait until three days later, or receive the above notice, before taking off the fighter with machine gun again.

If you want to fly every day, you can customize a P51 without any weapon system.

Just apply to the aviation administration and fly as you want.

When flying over the border checkpoint dozens of kilometers away in the town of Sono, dozens of U.S. border patrol policemen who were notified also took off their hats and cheered at the two planes.

In this era when helicopters have not yet been widely used, the help of fighter jets that can maintain a flying speed of 220 hours is a great help for them and ground personnel.

Li Changheng, who did not fly the plane for the purpose of arresting'reading' and preventing smuggling, suddenly felt that what he was doing seemed to be meaningful.

With a sigh in my heart, it's okay to be hostile to the entire country of America, but you can't host any honest and brave reader.

Turning after Scott's plane and flying to the Sono Town Airport, he accidentally saw two large trucks with closed compartments ~lightnovelpub.net~ heading towards the town.

Seeing a truck with an unfamiliar trademark printed on its compartment, Li Changheng turned on the communication switch and said, "Scott, there are two trucks below."

Before long, Scott, who was observing with a telescope for a while, replied, "Don't worry about them, it should be a truck carrying beef cattle."

Hearing this, Li Changheng, who knew nothing about the cattle industry, didn't care much when he thought that animals would eat violently in autumn.

The plane landed safely in the rudimentary base.

Li Changheng jumped off the plane and heard Scott who came over said, "Boss, my mission is not over. It's best for you to really recruit residents from a few small towns for flight training.

Lest someone above asks for trouble. "

"No problem," Li Changheng smiled and nodded, "I will buy a piece of land in the small town to raise cattle, and then let the cowboys come to play from time to time, and the training personnel will be available."

After speaking, Li Changheng smiled and hugged Scott, "Let's go, man, let's go to the tavern in town for a drink and we will see you off."
