Chapter 105: Difficult Choices
When Yang Yi became familiar with the small aircraft, that is, the t-6a, he began to fly out the real function of the t-6a.
What does it mean? The t-6a is a trainer aircraft, a military trainer aircraft. This aircraft exists not to let people who cannot fly aircraft learn to fly aircraft, but to let people who have learned to fly aircraft simulate and learn other models.
The t-6a is a propeller aircraft and a junior trainer aircraft. But one thing to be clear is that the t-6a is not behind. Although slow speed is a disadvantage, as a trainer aircraft, the disadvantage is that the speed is slow.
There are two types of trainers in the United States, one is the junior trainer T-6a and the other is the advanced trainer T-38. However, in addition to not being able to simulate the speed of jet fighters, the t-6a is actually used as a full-process trainer to a large extent.
That is to say, even if the t-6a is used, it can simulate fighter jets such as the F-15. Although the speed is much different, the important thing is the avionics system of the trainer aircraft. If Yang Yi wants to, he can learn how to drive a transport aircraft on the t-6a.
Air Force fighter pilots must be on advanced trainers, but transport pilots, bomber pilots, including tankers, as long as they are not fighters, can all learn systematically on T-6a. After getting off T-6a, you can learn on real aircraft.
In CIA's training camp, T-6a is divided into several types, and there are two trainers even a complete fire control system.
Of course, the fire control system of the trainer aircraft cannot be used, and it is impossible to really carry missiles or something. However, if the trainer aircraft simulates the F-15, then after getting off the trainer aircraft, then the real F15 will at least know where the fire control switch is and how to use it.
After saying so much, he just wanted to express one thing, that is, after nearly twenty hours of flying, Yang Yi suddenly found out that there was something more in his trainer plane. Then he realized that this plane was used to train CIA agents to drive F16.
Yang Yi, who had never turned on a jet, may be confused by the huge speed difference when he got on the real F16, but now he has touched something that civilian pilots would never be able to touch in his lifetime.
After getting off the plane, Yang Yi's first thing was to go straight to Heghouse's office.
Seeing Yang Yi, Heghouse's face was still not that good-looking. He frowned and did not hide his disgust and said, "What are you here to do?"
"Instructor, I want to learn to open f16!"
Heghouse laughed and said, "You have just come into contact with the junior trainer plane and want to learn to start a fighter plane?"
Yang Yi hurriedly said, "Sorry, instructor, I didn't express it clearly. The trainer I was flying today has a fire control system for F16. I think since I can learn how to drive fighters here, can I... learn it too? It's better to be familiar with it, instructor."
Heghouse laughed and said, "You have only been flying for twenty-one hours and want to learn jets. Should I say you are arrogant or you are an idiot."
Yang Yi said seriously: "Instructor, I may not have a chance to touch a real fighter, or any other advanced aircraft in my life, but I am a spy. Please understand this. I am not an Air Force pilot, I am a spy. When I am on a mission, if I have to fly a fighter, even if I have never flew a jet, I hope I understand how the jet operates, so my request is not excessive, instructor."
Heghouse was silent. Yang Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Instructor, since there are conditions here, why not let me try it? Even if you just tell me once, you can arrange for other instructors to teach me."
Heghouse finally spoke, and he said slowly: "That's just the fire control system of the f16. Our agents have advanced flight foundations, so he only needs to be familiar with fire control. The simulator and the real aircraft feel different after all. If you want to learn more complex models, you also need to start with the simulator first. In addition, if you want to know what the jet is, then you need at least the last time the real jet."
Heghouse stood up, then he picked up his sunglasses and said, "There is no jet at this airport, because the jets are too loud, I can get you on the T-38 senior trainer, I'll apply for you, but I have a requirement."
Yang Yi was excited, and he immediately said: "What are the requirements!"
Heghouse smiled and said, "Are you a genius?"
"Uh, that's what I can say."
"You're quick no matter what you learn, right?"
"Yes."
Heghouse smiled and said, "Then let's make a bet. There are many aircraft models that we can simulate here. Do you want to learn to drive a fighter? No problem, you want to learn to drive a transport aircraft, but I only give you twenty-four hours. Now I will take you to get the flight manual. As long as we have everything here, I will only give you twenty-four hours. After twenty-four hours, I will take you on the simulator. If you pass the primary test of the simulator, I will take you on the real machine. If you pass the test on the real machine,..."
After pausing, Heghouse took a deep breath and said, "Then congratulations, I will take you to the advanced trainer plane in person. No matter what model you decide to fly, I will definitely take you to the real plane."
Yang Yi thought for a while and said, "Are you talking about learning a model in 24 hours or just giving me 24 hours in total."
Heghouse smiled and said, "There are only twenty-four hours. You can use these twenty-four hours to learn how to fly the F16 fighter, you can also learn how to fly the C130 transport aircraft, you can also learn how to fly the B52 bomber, and you can even learn these three models at the same time. It doesn't matter, but I will only give you twenty-four hours."
Yang Yi took a deep breath and said, "I'm sure! I'm sure!"
Heghouse smiled and said, "Given the particularity of Cia, you are lucky to come with me and I will give you what you need."
When he arrived at a room, Heghouse opened the door himself and said in a deep voice: "Given your level, you can fly any model sold in the United States, and you can't fly without exported models, so let's see what you want to choose."
The flight manuals for each aircraft are placed in categories, but Yang Yi knows that among the range of aircraft he can choose, the c130 is a must.
The c130 is the most and most commonly used transport aircraft in the United States. Many special aircraft are modified on aircraft like c130, so the model of the transport aircraft does not need to be considered, it can only be c130. As for what are the c5 and strategic transport aircraft like c17, he doesn't have to think about it at all.
As for aircraft such as bombers, tankers, and early warning aircraft, let’s not talk about whether they can learn it here, even if they can learn it, it would be useless.
So it's transport planes and fighter planes.
But for fighter jets, how should you choose f16 and f15?
