Therefore, there is basically no need to worry about the test flight in the afternoon. Of course, the French test pilot must also be sitting in the cockpit of the aircraft. If there is any problem, he will take over the control of the Mirage 2,000 fighter jet at any time.

When Li Shuguang and the others arrived at the test flight site, preparations for the test flight were almost complete, and Guo Wenchang would board the plane for a test flight in ten minutes.

Looking at the Phantom Two Thousand fighter jets in front of him, Li Shuguang couldn't help but think of the J-10 fighter jet. If nothing was changed, the J-10 fighter jet would still have to wait twenty years before it could enter service, twenty years later than the French.

As for compared with the F16 fighter jet, it is much later. You must know that this year Americans are using the F16 fighter jet as a demonstration aircraft.

The Thunderbirds Aerobatic Team is a well-known aerobatic team in the world, and it is also the first aerobatic team equipped with third-generation fighter jets.

The Chinese Air Force's August 1st Aerobatic Team currently uses JJ-5 aircraft, which are the first-generation jet fighters and are subsonic. Not only in terms of performance, at least they are ugly in appearance.

There is no way to compare the F16 and the Mirage 2,000 fighter jets.

A country's air force flight demonstration team represents the face of the entire air force. As a military fan in his previous life, Li Shuguang hoped that the air force flight demonstration team could be equipped with good-looking and advanced fighter jets.

It was not until 2009 that the August 1st Aerobatic Team was equipped with J-10 fighter jets. However, the J-10 fighter jets still looked a little thin. It would be great if they could be equipped with twin-engine fighters.

Of course, in the world, there are only a few countries that use third-generation aircraft as demonstration aircraft. Even the French do not use Mirage 2,000 fighter jets as demonstration aircraft.

This is mainly because the Mirage 2,000 fighter jets are much more expensive than training aircraft, and the cost of use is high. Medium-sized countries like France have no need.

But for a big country like China, it is indeed a bit inappropriate to use J-5 aircraft and J-7 EB fighter jets for performances.

Because these two types of aircraft are very backward and not particularly suitable for flight performances, their maneuverability is not very good.

The J-8 fighter, known as the handsome man in the air, looks decent in appearance, but its low-altitude flight performance is poor and it cannot be used as a demonstration aircraft at all.

Just when Li Shuguang was thinking about the flight demonstration aircraft, the Mirage 2,000 fighter jet had already slid out of the hangar. This time it was operated by Guo Wenchang, and the French test pilot was in the back seat to guide it.

Everyone has focused their attention on this Mirage 2,000 fighter jet.

Under the sunlight, the fuselage of the Phantom Two Thousand fighter jets glowed with strange colors, and it really looked like a phantom.

This name is indeed very appropriate.

Now he is a test pilot of the Chinese Air Force, flying this Mirage fighter, so everyone is very excited, but also a little nervous.

A Chinese test pilot flew a plane so quickly. I wonder if he can fly well?

Everyone on the French side applauded, which of course gave the Chinese side great encouragement.

So the Chinese people also applauded, and Li Shuguang was also proud from the bottom of his heart. The Chinese Air Force test pilots are indeed good.

The Mirage 2,000 fighter slowly taxied to the runway and stopped at the take-off point for a final inspection. This inspection was very careful. You must know that Guo Wenchang was flying this kind of fighter for the first time. How is it different from the J-7 and J-8?

It's too big, so it's not that simple to master its operation in a short time. Only a very small number of outstanding test pilots like him can do it.

If it were an ordinary pilot, he would definitely not be able to touch the door.

Soon, the inspection was completed, and the Mirage 2,000 fighter jet began to accelerate and taxi under the control of Guo Wenchang. The roar of the M53 turbofan engine continued to increase, and an orange-red tail flame appeared at the tail nozzle. This was to increase the speed.

The power has taken off, it is very powerful.

Li Shuguang, who was in the control center, couldn't help but secretly give Guo Wenchang a thumbs up.

Everyone has a dream of flying. Sometimes Li Shuguang also dreams about how great it would be if he could be a pilot, flying in the blue sky on a domestically produced fighter jet.

Soon the Mirage 2,000 fighter jet, just like yesterday, took off after only gliding for more than 300 meters. The take-off posture was perfect. It is hard to imagine that it was operated by a pilot who had just touched the Mirage 2,000 fighter jet.

, this is completely the level of a veteran.

In the control center, applause sounded like thunder, and even the old Dassault couldn't help but praise: "Your Chinese pilots are great, they fly better than many of our French Air Force pilots!"

After hearing this, a leader of the Chinese Air Force said: "Thank you. This comrade of ours is one of the best test pilots in the entire Air Force, so it is normal for him to fly like this. Generally speaking, our pilots are as good as

The technical level gap between you French Air Force pilots is still quite large!"

This is not because the leaders of the Air Force are belittling themselves. This is indeed the case. The combat methods of the Chinese Air Force pilots are still very backward and are at the level of the 1960s. As for the French Air Force pilots, they have entered the third-generation aircraft era.

Even fighter jets like the previous Mirage 3 are more advanced than the Chinese J-7 and J-8, which is naturally incomparable.

At this time, the Mirage Two Thousand fighter jets had climbed to an altitude of more than 1,000 meters and began to conduct test flights of basic tactical maneuvers.

The person who felt the deepest impression was naturally Guo Wenchang, who was operating the aircraft. He found that the control of the Mirage 2,000 fighter jet was indeed very good. The J-8 fighter jet was probably incomparable. After all, one had a fly-by-wire flight control and the other had a mechanical control.

In short, it is very easy to fly the Phantom 2,000. It does not require much effort. The fighter plane will fly however you want it to, and it will be very obedient. If it flies a few more times, he believes that it will feel like man and machine are one.

If he were to fly a Mirage 2,000 fighter jet in a dogfight with China's J-8 fighter jets, Guo Wenchang believed that he could gain an overwhelming advantage, even if he faced three J-8 fighters.

After flying down a few basic tactical movements, it was really beautiful. Guo Wenchang asked: "Can I fly at supersonic speed?"

The French test pilot in the back seat said: "Of course, if you want to fly, just follow my instructions. There will be no problem at all!"

Guo Wenchang actually wanted to compare, what is the high-speed performance of the Phantom 2,000? Is it better than the J-8?

Both have maximum speeds of Mach 2.2.

The fighter jet soon reached an altitude of 10,000 meters. At this time, it could fly at supersonic speed. As the throttle continued to increase, the afterburner burst out with stronger thrust, and the Mirage 2,000 fighter jet was about to break the sound barrier.Chapter completed!
