Chapter 156: Visiting Starlight

"Mr. Song, there is no suitable model here, please give me a hassle."

When Song Cheng saw these two guys who were obviously taller in front of him, he had no results after seeing them all over the place.

Originally, two unnamed boys were foolishly trying to form a team?

He doesn't know who that person is. Liu Wei was sweeping the floor and serving tea in the team before, and now he has the idea of ​​aviation competition! There are so many people daydreaming these days.

"There is no suitable one? Then what kind of fighter jet do you want, J-20?"

"No, we are not well-off now and just want to rent two cheap models." Long Yun was too lazy to argue with him when he met someone like this.

"Oh, haha! You are not going to form a team to participate in the competition?" He got up and took a step to leave. Song Cheng did not forget to make a few sarcastic words, "If you rent two cheap propeller planes, you may not even have the qualification to register. Okay, then let's go."

Without speculation, Liu Wei and Long Yun walked out of the hangar and left the "Sonic Speed", and a look of laughter and cry appeared on their faces.

"Brother Long, I'm really sorry. I really haven't seen the style of this team before. Maybe that Mr. Song is in menopause, don't mind!"

It’s not menopause. Long Yun thought about it, but he just persuaded Liu Wei without complaining. "So, Liu Wei, sometimes there is hope if you work hard. Some people use this enthusiasm to exploit and make profits. There was something like this when you came here to work as a cleaner before, and we can’t do this again in the future."

"Hey! No!" Liu Wei scratched his head. He probably had no worries about food and clothing at home. He had regarded this society as beautiful and naive before.

Knowing that he felt a little regretful, Long Yun changed the subject and asked him if there were any other reliable things.

"Oh, of course there is this! Běi is so big, it's not their family who rents fighter jets. Don't look at them as they put on airs! Brother Long, let's go to the Starlight to see. There are many fighter jets in their family, and I have also gone to deal with them before."

"Okay." Long Yun agreed happily, and Liu Wei's words were also his voice.

The person in charge and employees of "Sonic" did not like the new peers so much, which really surprised him. Although the backstage is strong, just by their narrow thinking, he felt that it would be difficult for this team to go further on the road of competition.

It is said that colleagues are enemies, but now air competition is so popular, with countless performance matches of all sizes; at this time, he still has the idea of ​​fighting a civil war and looks down on others. Isn’t he a little short-sighted?

After walking in the huge training center for less than fifteen minutes, they arrived in front of the "Starlight" team.

After finding the clerk of the team, Long Yun and the others received a warm greeting after explaining their purpose.

"Oh, do you want to rent a cheaper model? Yes, go to the hangar to take a look."

The clerk actually had his own plans. The people from these two teams came to rent the door themselves, so they didn't need to take a commission from the agency. In fact, it was a good deal. He led the two people to the door of the hangar, and after walking in through the small door, he turned on the diffusing light.

Unlike the wealthy "speed of sound", the "Starlight" fighter jets are parked in a large hangar. Feeling the constant temperature environment inside, Long Yun at least has the minimum confidence in the maintenance of these fighter jets.

In the spacious and tall hangar, although the light is still a little dim, the body and graceful lines of the fighter are still clearly visible; after the two latest Su-35bm, there is a mystery with half a squadron, and the light green gradient air-optic coating looks quite simple and capable.

"As you can see, our Starlight is a club that loves Soviet Russian fighter jets. We originally planned to collect all the aircraft, but they are too many. Considering the budget, what model do you plan to rent, Su-11 or J-7?"

Long Yun was still thinking about how to answer, so Liu Wei spoke for him. "Can we see them all? Then make a decision."

"Yes, haha. The team is not busy today, so just watch it slowly."

When passing through the area where the active fighter jets were parked, Long Yun saw the su-11 and J-7 with obvious appearance characteristics at first glance.

When he saw the strange Su-11 at the first glance, Long Yun felt that the air inlet and sharp wings in front of him were quite similar to the famous MiG-21. Of course, he noticed the size of the missile mounted under the wings, and he estimated that this aircraft was more than a circle larger than MiG-21.

Su-11, a classic work by Sukhoi Design Bureau in the 1960s, continues the successful design of Su-7/su-9 and improves it. Using the R-23 missile in combination with fire control radar, it mainly performs high-altitude and high-speed interception missions. Its maximum speed at high altitude can reach Mach 2.4, and its flight performance is quite excellent compared to contemporary aircraft.

Long Yun tried hard to recall the information introduction in the simulator. He knew so much about the plane in front of him.

"This is an old aircraft that retreated from the 172nd Regiment of the Soviet-Russian Land Defense Air Defense Force. It was produced in 1977. After a full set of competition modifications, it is a good choice for training high-speed flights. When I bought it, I spent more than 30 million yuan. Plus the modification cost. Now the monthly rent is 600,000 yuan, which is quite affordable. What do you think? Don't be restrained, just take a look."

When he boarded the boarding ladder, Long Yun leaned forward to observe the inside of the open cabin. The densely packed instruments and buttons looked a little dizzy. However, it can be seen that the aircraft was well maintained, unlike many old aircraft retreated from the Soviet troops, which looked like the abandoned ones. The slightly rusty dashboard has been repaired and painted, and the newly installed flight control indicator occupies the original unknown instrument position in the upper left corner of the instrument panel.

Seeing the very meticulous maintenance, Long Yun couldn't help but feel more favorable to this club.

"This plane is quite good. But it may be a bit difficult for newbies like us to drive it." Liu Wei quipped, "You think we haven't had a supersonic model yet."

"You guys, you only flew past subsonic before?" The receptionist seemed a little surprised. "Ah, in that case, I think this may not be suitable for you. The su-11 plane flies very high and fast, but it has a bit weird temper and is not that easy to control. Let's go and see the J-7 again, maybe that's more suitable."

Scratching his head a little embarrassedly, Long Yun and Liu Wei followed him to the other side of the hangar separated by a board.

Oh——He is quite familiar with this aircraft. When Long Yun saw the appearance of these two J-7s, he determined that this was the J-7iim type with a very large output.

The J-7, a daytime fighter jet that China copied from the former Soviet Union's G-21 in its early days in its founding, belonged to the second generation of fighter jets and was the earliest batch of double-sonic fighter jets to appear after the war.

Because the design was initially influenced by the one-sided pursuit of high-altitude and extreme ideas to reduce resistance, the MiG-21 did not serve in the Soviet Air Force for too long; after the country of origin had more advanced MiG-23, Su-17 and other models appeared, they were quickly replaced by the latter. However, in China, due to well-known reasons, it was imitated and was named J-7 for a long time. More than 2,000 aircraft were produced in the past few decades.

Therefore, for Chinese fans, this is also one of the most familiar fighter aircraft models.

"The J-7ii type has two total aircraft. To be honest, these two aircraft have been around for a long time. Although they are well maintained, they cannot fly too much. After we retired from the second-tier troops in 1997, our club bought them and took on basic flight training. Later, after we had the yak-130 training aircraft, they were idle here."

He pointed to the few wooden boxes piled up next to him:

"This is a spare engine, so you don't have to worry about logistics. It is true that the J-7 engine is not very durable, and there is no way to do that."

Seeing the clerk's detailed explanation, Long Yun and Liu Wei decided on it and thought that the J-7 was their best choice.

To be honest, Long Yun is not very satisfied with the J-7 model. But to be fair, where else can there be a supersonic jet with a rent of 350,000 yuan?

Although if the J-7 is used up, it will use up all the fuel if it can't stay in the sky for a little while, it can practice supersonic flight after all. As for the ability to deal with mid-range combat, it is impossible for fighter jets of this price to be available, and it is quite a waste of missiles. He won't think about it so much for the time being.

As for driving the J-7 to participate in the Ift qualifiers, fighting on a field where strong players are everywhere and third-generation aircraft are flying all over the sky... what else can it be? At this price, the J-7 is probably the most powerful choice!

Then let it be.

The two of them unified their opinions and then began to discuss specific matters with the person in charge.

After checking the aircraft's condition, maintenance records, IFU registration and certification and inspection report in detail, Long Yun was quite happy to find that these two J-7 fighters had not made any more changes after entering the team, undergoing necessary modifications and acceptance. This means that the registration and inspection process can be greatly simplified, and it is better for their current rush to register.

"Yes! Haha, but to be honest, do you really want to use such a fighter to compete?"

"The funds are limited now, so we mainly participate. We plan to accumulate some experience first."

Needless to say, knowing their arrangements, anyone would think that they were just trying to be lively and signed up for a round of group stages and then gain some experience. Even Liu Wei, who was standing beside him, could feel his thoughts, thinking that they were just solving the problem first, and they didn't think about participating in the competition at all.

But Long Yun knew very well that the moment he wanted to form a team by himself and embark on the road of ift competitive, his heart was full of desire for victory.

Even if only the old "Seventh Master" is available, he still wants to give it a try. How far has his abilities reached?
