After thinking about it again and again, Long Yun felt that there was no better choice at the moment.

Since he had basically made up his intentions, Long Yun quickly negotiated with the person in charge of "Starlight", and the two parties then signed a lease contract for the two J-7s.

Considering the current financial situation of "Chenlong", they just rented it for two months, which was just enough to support the end of the Ift Regional Qualifiers; after that, if they can advance smoothly, it will not be too late to talk about what will happen next.

Of course, no one will be wary of renting aircraft like the J-7 to participate in the competition, and they will not be worried about posing any threat to them. If they came to rent advanced fighter jets with considerable combat power this time, things would probably not go so smoothly.

Because the promised flight hours are controlled within the lower limit, after some negotiations, the final rent was agreed to be between two fighter jets, totaling 1.1 million yuan in two months. This price also includes the right to use two backup WP-7c engines. Of course, Long Yun felt that if the flying fewer hours, he should not use these two backup engines.

The two of them are quite satisfied with these two fighter jets that have been in factory for a long time, but are well maintained and have relatively affordable prices; it is probably the case that they are all done without any effort.

"In addition, do you always need missiles?" The person in charge probably agreed on the main terms and felt relaxed. "To be honest, we also have the pl-5 that is under the stake. Among the ift certified models, the standard air combat loading of the J-7 is it. Since you want to train to participate in the competition, do you also need to come a few times?"

"Oh! Yes, yes! Let's talk about missiles too!"

Just thinking about renting fighter jets, Long Yun and the others almost forgot about this. Because these PL-5 missiles have very limited performance, it is impossible to rent an aircraft to experience flight. "Starlight" can be regarded as cleaning up idle inventory, and the missile price is quite low.

Hehe, now he not only solved the problem of missiles, but also helped people clear the inventory and bought something quite affordable. Long Yun was naturally very happy. As for the tiny ability of this missile, he certainly knew it well; whether he could play in the group stage depends on the efforts of the two of them!

After writing all these additional terms clearly, the two parties signed a naive sign and filed online, Long Yun paid the deposit in advance from the newly opened team account. This transaction was quite safe, and no other means were used. Single-minded snooping technique could ensure that Long Yun would not be fooled by any scammers.

Leaving from the "Starlight" team, Long Yun was not idle on the way, but told Liu Wei about the simulator.

No matter how savings are, the team's pre-match training cannot be carried out using real guys. In that case, not to mention that missiles cannot afford it, even aviation kerosene is not a small expense.

"Brother Long, what do you mean, let's not buy the simulator for now?"

"Well. You think we have more than one million yuan now, and just renting a fighter plane will almost use two-thirds. Renting a simulator is not cost-effective," he calculated quickly, "But by the end of the qualifiers, we probably only use a 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, which is still incomparable to buying."

"Okay, then use another one first! There are so many simulators in Jingcheng, so this is easy to deal with."

Liu Wei patted his chest and said that he had been playing simulator teams in Beijing for a lot of time and was naturally quite familiar with this circle.

When talking about the simulator, Liu Wei remembered the simulated air battle in which Long Yun defeated Ben Carlis at the training base, and he was a little excited to try. He had the idea of ​​participating in aviation competition for a long time. Now he started a team with a guy like Long Yun with superb skills, and with the most important guarantee of the fighter, he had quite aspirations for the coming Ift qualifiers.

After a busy day, the next morning, in front of the newly rented hangar of "Chenlong", the "Starlight" tractor delivered two J-7s to the door.

Because they are all in an aviation training center, the handover of fighter jets is also very smooth; the J-7 is originally small, which means that the tow truck will walk hundreds of meters.

If he and Liu Wei were the only ones who received the fighter jet, they would be too busy to do anything; but Liu Wei's previous work could be said to be quite good. In order to save money and find familiar people, the pilots he had made before were now handy. Two ground crew pilots sent the fighter jets into the hangar together for testing.

With an extra money of 500 yuan a day, these two pilots are still quite motivated; the ground trainer is not as good as a competitive player, and does not require any talent or top-notch skills. Of course, the income cannot be compared with even a well-known competitive player.

After the handover, the small temporary team of the "Chenlong" team immediately took action to inspect the two J-7iims transported.

In the huge hangar, except for some small equipment necessary for aviation support, the rest of the things were cleaned up and replaced by a fuselage status detector. From the bottom of the not-so-large instrument, a large number of connections were connected to several measurement points of each fighter assembly in turn to obtain detailed information about the fuselage structure.

Unlike what ordinary people imagine, modern aviation competition has long been separated from the early dangerous direct flight mode.

The so-called direct flight means directly using retired fighter jets from the military, or directly purchasing new aircraft from the manufacturer for training and combat.

Due to the imperfection of the early aircraft industry and the relatively backward technology, the reliability and durability of a large number of aircraft are poor; coupled with the aircraft maintenance of competitive teams, the inspection and use conditions are far less professional than that of the Air Force ground crew, and often cause serious flight accidents.

The frequent aviation accidents not only make competition a cause that requires great courage to participate in, but also make countries strictly control aviation competition, which is very unfavorable to the development of this Chaoyang sport.

Against this background, the establishment of the International Fighter Alliance (Ifu) introduced a new model for aviation competition: changing flights.

Simply put, the so-called flight change means that after the team purchases fighter jets that have been retired from each ** team or obtained through other channels, they must first greatly modify them according to the requirements of IFU. They mainly replace the telex/optical transmission system, install the system stability monitoring module, and a series of spare parts and assembly modifications.

In short, all fighter jets participating in the competition need to be reliable enough to meet the IFU identification standards before they can be approved for use.

The identification of the flight mode is not the same as ift participation inspection; the former is that all fighter jets that flow into the civilian market and participate in the competition must be certified, and fighter jets that cannot pass are not allowed to go to the sky; the latter is to ensure that the technical level of the participating aircraft is relatively consistent, and fighter jets that cannot pass are not allowed to participate in the competition.

In this context, the newly received fighter jets of "Chenlong" can ensure basic flight safety as long as they pass the test of IFU's unified interface module, which can be said to be very convenient.
