10 月 1 National Day parade, there is an air team will be particularly impressive, they is one of the first female fighter pilot echelon. 16 players, the oldest 24 years old, the youngest 22 years old, the same as Li Min, ZHANG Xiao and Jinan. 26, the third flight at the Air Force Institute of the leadership with the assistance of the reporter in the pilot encamping city in North China, Jinan see this on the “sisters.”

starting with 12 provinces and more than 200,000 high school graduates selected 35 people, after learning training, testing, and then eliminate 19, eventually leaving only 16 people – China’s first female pilot of the fighter selection is the real one in a million, the same person for the Jinan Limin Cheng ZHANG Xiao and lucky for the final.

graduated fifth day, the parade began training

ZHANG Xiao and Li Min, told reporters that they women pilots of these aircraft on April 2 this year, the first from the Air Force three flight college graduate, April 7, is a graduate of the first 5 days, directly to the National Day military parade in the capital of the training.

“the past few months, pilots of the technology to master the better, have been capable of the requirements of the National Day parade.” Vang Pao, political commissar of the Air Force Flying School third group said.

according to the requirements of the parade, the air echelon to achieve zero-meter high-precision zero seconds, which is not bad one meter one second to complete the air mission, arrived at the designated location. For example, if the accuracy required to reach 11 aircraft in the People’s Heroes Monument at the top, then, if the aircraft arrives over one second or one second late, you can only get 4 points, and so on, if more than two seconds or two seconds later, the only 3 points. Interval between two air echelon, only 8 seconds, the aircraft’s speed is calculated in seconds, the pilot is extremely demanding, and the first female fighter pilots trained together for five minutes to reach good results, m s is not difference.

“You know, the girls, the average flight time of only 350 hours, usually military parade in the air echelon of the pilot, the average flight time to be 1000 hours, so that they can achieve such results , is not easy. “

devil-style training, have continued to spit a run

ZHANG Xiao said, pilots from the selected date, the National Day military parade training is not the most difficult, the first two and a half of physical training is the most difficult.

in them before, female pilots are basically driving the transport. And they are faster, more demanding of fighters, transport aircraft and relatively stable compared to the equivalent of driving fighter in the air “fighting.” “Female students to fly fighter jets to bear the load is much greater.” Vang Pao said group of political commissar. Fighter supersonic flight, mobile, operating a large load to 5-9G, unimaginable.

“1G is equivalent to the same weight with the weight of their own pressure on the body. 5G five is equivalent to the weight of their own pressure on the body.” ZHANG Xiao said. As the load is too large, fast speed, the pilot of the plane up and down moments, upstream or downstream of blood within a short time the situation over the body load, there will be black as red as the other phenomena that appear black eyes or bloodshot eyes situation.

for ZHANG Xiao and Li Min, due to their physical well as other issues are not black is the most difficult to overcome, and give them the deepest impression is the physical training in the running!

“very terrible!” ZHANG Xiao so impressed she described as the “December 5345, fifty-four thousand three hundred twenty-one” physical training: Students circle each run 400 meters, the number of laps per run followed by accumulation, if the students ran when the time exceeded, it would have to run again once, if not standard, to continue the same penalty laps, while the rest of them only three minutes. “Some of his teammates ran spit, and that there is no way, spit up and continued to run! Others Wa Wade cry, but you have to run.” ZHANG Xiao said.

“old pain!” Lively Min learn small Shenyang accent said that she shared the most profound impression on the physical training, “My headache is the most long-distance running, I hate long-distance running.”

That being said, she was training to both recognize the devil himself benefited, and now the physical foundation are trained at that time.

only start the aircraft, it is necessary more than 100 action

“At that moment, was so excited.”

9 月18, National Day military parade last day of rehearsal, the girls fly a plane, flew from Tiananmen Square. Li Min said at the time a plane full attention, using only flight corner of the eye to quickly scan the Tiananmen Square one, but was very excited.

Li Min, said the parade is very strict training requirements, the need for meticulous control. Driving alone – they said the car, start the plane is – we need more than 100 actions, little if any deviation or delay action, are likely to affect their own aircraft can not be consistent with the echelon.

In this case, for them, the ability to peek at a training in Tiananmen Square, is a very luxury thing.

ZHANG Xiao wrote in his diary, the first official parade route simulation through rigorous rehearsal training before Tiananmen Square, they are very much looking forward to the Tiananmen Square. After takeoff, the plane of the teacher lamented that, after the rain early Qing, the weather was good, if the weather is so fine that day parade. ZHANG Xiao-test and then said: “such a good day, Tiananmen must be very beautiful, right?” The results do not say a teacher. Then teacher said: “when the airflow through the large, you see the formation together with me, if there is no air, I am a person to keep, you can look down one, but can only see one.”

The results, when flying over Tiananmen Square, ZHANG Xiao also hurried glance. Teacher said: “This reading, not allowed to parade the same day saw!”

“I Love Beijing Tiananmen Square, I’ll stick with the hands to prove!” ZHANG Xiao wrote.
