Chapter 474 Wild Dog OR Mad Dog?

While Qin Tao was busy in Factory 320, on the other side of the ocean, Stroll and Delano were also busy.

"Hey, Delano, why are you free?" Malandrino, a test pilot wearing sunglasses, asked him on Boeing's huge tarmac.

"I'm here to see you, an old friend. We haven't seen each other since we graduated from aviation school," Delano said.

Delano's relationship with Boeing is this test pilot. The two met when they were in aviation school. They went to nightclubs to pick up women together, and fought with wine bottles together. They forged a deep friendship. However, after graduation , went their separate ways.

"Yeah, although we haven't met, I've heard a lot about you." Marandrino said, "You're well-known in the navy. They called you a wild dog, and you're right."

The tradition of the U.S. Air Force is to have nicknames. When calling in the sky, they use nicknames, and this kind of nickname may not be given by themselves, but it may be given by others. In short, it must be very suitable. For a certain person, the characteristics of this person can be reflected from the nickname.

Delano's nickname is wild dog, and he is really right. He has demonstrated his characteristics of wild dogs biting people with his actual actions time and time again.

Take the last accident as an example. Although it was wrong for the passenger in the back seat to randomly pull the ejection handle, the loss is taxpayer money. It is not Delano's turn to teach him a lesson!In the army, the upper and lower ranks are very strict. If the subordinate beats the superior, it is not bad if he is not sentenced to ten years in prison.

"Hey, Malandrino, I didn't come here to listen to your ridicule. Is it appropriate for you to expose other people's scars?" Delano said angrily.

"Okay, I was wrong. I apologize to you. I'm afraid that your fist will hit you in the next second. I'm an honest and good baby now. By the way, what are you doing here?"

"I heard that you have a prototype of a T-45 trainer here." Delano said: "I want to buy it to have fun. You probably know that since I left the Navy and drove a few days of airliners, I never touched the plane again."

"Buy a prototype of the T-45? Of course it's no problem. The higher-ups are eager to dispose of this junk!" Malandrino said, "But, do you have money?"

"Of course I do," Delano said. "I went to Las Vegas recently and made a lot of money there. If I couldn't keep flying, I'd be bored to death. Pity the Navy Tomcats." The fighter plane is not for sale, otherwise, I will buy a Tomcat back, that is a man's plane!"

"Okay, let's go, I'll take you to go through the formalities."

"Wait, before delivery, I want to take it for a test flight, fill me up!"

Hearing Delano's words, the expression on Malandrino's face was very meaningful.

Marandrino is very clear about this companion's personality. Why did he go to Las Vegas and make a lot of money? I have never seen him win. Now, this guy may not have the money to buy the plane , I just wanted to enjoy the fun of flying a plane, so I made up this excuse.

However, since Delano made this request, as a good friend, he must try his best to satisfy him. For a person who longs to fly, if he cannot soar in the blue sky, it is indeed a very painful thing.

Anyway, before buying an airplane, it is normal to test the flight. Buying a car requires a test run, and the same is true for airplanes. It's just that Delano's request to fill up the fuel is a bit excessive.

"Let's go, let's go through the formalities," said Malandrino.

After taking out the procedures for take-off, Delano's face was a bit complicated: "Hey, brother, you don't have to fly with me, I can fly by myself."

"Of course not." Marandrino shook his head immediately: "You haven't flown for a long time, you need a flight instructor, although I know that your skills were always better than mine when you were in flight school, but now, let me fly with you." come together!"

"You are contemptuous of my technology, and an insult to my personality!" Draenor became unhappy.

Even if he showed an unhappy attitude, he still couldn't get rid of Malandrino.

"I promise, it's okay to stay still behind, right?" Marandrino said, "Also, this is also our practice here. When customers come to purchase aircraft, if they want to take a test flight, someone must follow them."

"What if it's a single-seater plane? Do you still have to strap yourself to the wing pylons?" Delano asked.

"The customer's test flight must be a two-seater aircraft."

While talking, the two had already walked to the front of the plane, facing Malandrino's endless entanglement, at this time Delano had no other choice but to watch Malandrino get on the plane.

"Okay, if you want to sit in the back, then sit in the back, you have the garbage bag ready, I'm sure you'll throw up in a while," Delano said.

Before buttoning up the oxygen mask, Marandrino showed a smile: "Even if you fly this plane to disintegration, you won't make me vomit."

Delano was ready to take off, he took a deep breath, and shouted in the radio: "The wild dog is calling the tower, and the T-04 trainer prototype No. 45 is requesting to take off."

"Wild dog?" A reply immediately sounded from the tower: "Which wild dog are you? The one from the Navy?"

"You bitch!" Delano yelled immediately. "You better pray to God, by the time I get back, you're off duty and I'm going to run into the control tower and beat you to shit!"

"It really is that wild dog from the Navy." The voice from the control tower continued: "If this is the case, I will prohibit you from taking off."

"Fucking shit, I can fly by myself without your permission!" Delano said, trying to remove his feet from the pedals.

Malandrino in the back cabin couldn't bear it anymore, he turned on the radio switch.

"Lucky Star called the control tower, and I am also on the T-04 prototype No. 45, requesting to be released."

Lucky star?
Now the control tower can no longer refuse. This pilot is their test pilot and has a lot of power. If a complaint is made, the tower personnel may have to leave. After all, they were the first to provoke the dispute just now.

"Okay, T-04 prototype No. 45, slide out of the apron and head for runway three."

"Dingo received." Delano said, pushed the throttle lever, let go of the pedals, and the plane began to taxi to the takeoff runway.

No. 1000 and No. 30 are the main runways, several thousand meters long, used to test passenger aircraft, and No. [-] runway is only about [-] meters long and [-] meters wide, used to take off small aircraft.

However, it would take a while to taxi to runway three, and it would waste precious fuel. Therefore, after Delano slid out, he made a turn directly and aimed at runway one.

"Hey, Delano, what are you doing?" Marandrino was already a little worried.

"Shut up, you good boy! I want to let that damn tower commander know my true nature as a wild dog!"

As Delano said, he fully pushed the accelerator, and the small T-45 began to roll on the runway!
The position in the back seat is the position of the instructor. Of course, Marandrino has higher authority, but he hesitated. If the two of them argue, it may cause danger.

Therefore, Malandrino did not do anything.

The small T-45 slid forward quickly, and the speed was getting faster and faster. When it was about to be able to fly, a huge monster appeared in front of it.

"Boeing 747!" The sitting posture in the back seat was higher, and Malandrino saw it at a glance, and immediately exclaimed.

Who would have thought that when they were about to take off, a large plane jumped out from the other side of the apron!

How to do?
Brakes?
Now if there is a blocking wire on the ground, if you hook the blocking wire, you can almost stop. If you only rely on the brakes of the wheels, you will definitely not be able to stand!
What if you don't brake?pull up?
Marandrino has yet to attempt to pull up at a time like this.

The tower's panicked shout came from the earphones: "Wild dog, damn it, hurry up, brake, stop!"

Delano didn't care at all, he pulled the control lever, and he wanted to pull the plane up abruptly!
The front wheels left the runway, and the rear wheels were still sliding. After a few seconds, the rear wheels left the runway!
At this time, Malandrino's mind was completely blank. As a Boeing test pilot, he is usually experienced, but he is definitely not bold and arrogant, and he definitely does not have such reckless behavior as Delano.

But now, he can't do other actions to interfere with Draenor, he just expects Draenor to create miracles, after all, Draenor is such a person.

Just after leaving the runway, Delano freed his hands and retracted the landing gear.

The outline of that plane is getting bigger and bigger, and finally it looks like a mountain, standing in front of the T-45. This scene, no matter how you look at it, looks like a moth to a flame.

Everyone in the vicinity was stunned. In the earphones, the chatter of the tower personnel stopped, and only the fire truck sounded its siren.

I saw the small T-45 taking off at the maximum angle of attack. For it, this action was too difficult. Its speed was very slow, and it was about to hit the Boeing 747.

Marandrino has already regretted it. He knew that Delano was very bold, so he was afraid that something would happen to him, so he flew with him. Who would have thought that flying with him now is almost like sending him to death.

Want to eject?
He held the ejection ring tightly with his hand, ready to eject at any time, but he was still waiting with a glimmer of hope.

There was no sound of metal rubbing against each other, nor was there a sound of impact.

People outside could see it more clearly. This was definitely a close call. The belly of the T-45 almost flew past the porthole of the Boeing 747, and the closest distance was no more than ten centimeters!

If the landing gear hadn't been retracted just now, it would definitely have crashed!
"You really are a wild dog!" The voice inside the tower cursed.

"Wait for me to come back, and I'll beat you to the ground!" Delano cursed back on the radio.

In the back cabin, Malandrino felt drenched all over. He had sweated profusely just for a moment. Now, he had escaped death, and he felt an indescribable feeling.

He wanted to scold Delano, and even wanted to go up and beat Delano, but he also felt that Delano was a flying genius, if he were to be a test pilot, he would definitely be able to fly according to the requirements of the test flight.

Delano was already humming a ditty, which seemed like a common occurrence to him.

"Wild dog, pay attention to the direction of flight... No, don't fly that way!" Marandrino began to growl again.

According to the original flight plan, they should turn right after takeoff, but Delano turned left and flew towards the sea!

What is Delano going to do?
"As a naval pilot, how can you not fly over the sea?" Delano's voice came: "And, if something happens, innocent people will not be hurt at sea."

"I've already regretted it. I shouldn't have helped you. I should have waited until you bought the plane. How crazy you want to be is your own business." Marandrino said angrily.

This guy hasn't flown a plane for a long time, and now that he has caught a free plane, he is about to have a good time, and he is even prepared.

Too much, too much!
Marandrino was very annoyed, but, already sitting on the plane, he had no other choice but to continue to listen to Delano, if he seized control of the plane and angered Delano No, Malandrino didn't know what the consequences would be.

"I had to be sure the plane would drive me crazy before I would buy it," Delano said.

At this time, the tower's warning came from the headset.

"Wild dog, wrong course, wrong course, please come back to the correct course!"

"What a bunch of noisy bastards!" Delano said, turning off the radio switch in front of him, and now his ears were clean.

Malandrino in the back seat was very speechless.

"It has flown more than 100 kilometers, what do you want to play, you can play!"

"Okay." Delano said, pulled the lever, and the T-45 began to jump upwards.

In the back seat, Malandrino tried his best to calm himself down. This Delano must be making dangerous moves, but he is not afraid!
The plane climbed rapidly, and then climbed again, and the speed began to decrease continuously.

"Are you going to play tail flush?" Marandrino asked in the rear cabin.

Tail thrusting is a common maneuver in aerobatics, so Malandrino wasn't worried about anything, just asking casually.

"That's right," Delano said, looking down at the altimeter.

"Only at an altitude of 1000 meters, the speed dropped to [-]. It's too bad. Our Tomcat fighter jet engine is not so powerful, and it has never been so cowardly."

Climbing up vertically, the test is the thrust-to-weight ratio of the aircraft. If it is a heavy-duty twin-engine air superiority fighter like the F-15, the thrust-to-weight ratio exceeds 1, and it can climb effortlessly. The Tomcat fighter will not work, even if it is replaced. The F110 engine is used, and the thrust-to-weight ratio is less than 1, but the Tomcat fighter has variable-sweep wings.

What's in the T-45 in hand?It is just a subsonic trainer aircraft. The engine does not even have afterburner, so it cannot meet this level of operation. During the climb, the speed will decrease rapidly. After reaching a certain level, the aircraft will even fall due to stall. down.

Just before the stall, Delano pushed the stick, turning the plane into a dive.

It's like riding a roller coaster, which can be uncomfortable, but Marandrino is a test pilot and has good physical fitness. This kind of overload is a piece of cake for him.

He sat securely in the back, but, as the plane dived, he felt more and more bad.

In the distance, the base's radar was spinning, and several guides were cursing while looking at the radar screen.

"That mad dog, no wonder he was expelled from the Navy, he is simply a madman!"

"Yeah, Wild Dog's nickname is wrong. He should be called Mad Dog. I heard he wants to buy this plane?"

"Hurry up and buy it, go back and toss it yourself, we don't want to see this guy again."

Just in their discussion, the bright spot representing T-45, the data is changing rapidly.

"He swooped a little fast!"

"That's right, his speed is too fast, shouldn't he dive into the damn ghost?"

"Of course not, the plane has been modified a long time ago, so this kind of problem won't happen."

"The altitude is too low!"

"The tower is calling for the No. 04 T45 prototype! Your height is too low, pull up, pull up quickly!"

A panicked voice suddenly came from the radio: "Damn it, the plane can't pull up. How did you stupid designers design this plane? It's useless, it's useless!"

After these words were finished, the radio fell into a deathly calm.

Everyone in the tower was stunned.

With the mentality of the big guy just now, it is good news that Mad Dog fell directly to his death, but the plane in Mad Dog's hand is the property of their Boeing company, and there is also Marandrino, an excellent test pilot of Boeing Company, on it Woolen cloth!
"Quick, call the coast guard to rescue immediately, damn it! He wants to die, don't get anyone else involved!" The curse sounded again.

On the T-45, Malandrino shouted nervously: "Delano, do you owe usury? If so, I can help you, I can help you, let go, let go!"

If you have ever sat in the co-pilot of a coach car, you should know that there is also a brake pedal. When necessary, the coach on the co-pilot can step on it in an emergency to avoid serious consequences for the students.

The same goes for trainers.

The front and rear seats of the trainer almost all have the same operation interface, and the operating levers between their legs are also linked.

In this way, when students make mistakes, they only need to let go and switch to the instructor behind to operate.

However, there are also accidents.

For example, the students in front don't let go!

Generally speaking, students are foolish if they don’t let go, clinging to the control stick tightly, but this is obviously not the case in Delano at this time. It's a dive. Even if Malandrino in the rear cabin wants to pull the joystick back again, how can the strength of his hands compare to the weight of Delano's whole body?
The T-45 fell into a dive state like this and could not recover. At this moment, Marandrino had already realized that Delano in front was committing suicide!

"That's right, you guessed it! You guessed it! I went to Las Vegas and owed a lot of money. I'm dead! I don't want to follow you, but you have to follow!"

At this moment, Malandrino suddenly realized, no wonder Delano was so calm when facing the Boeing 747, because even if he hit it at that time, Delano did not regret it, he was going to die!

"Life is beautiful, don't be like this!"

"I have no hope!"

"Think about what you said, you're going to beat that guy up when you go back!"

"In my next life, I'm going to heaven!"

"Damn it!" Looking at the beating numbers on the altimeter in front of him, Malandrino didn't insist anymore: "You crazy, idiot! You're going to hell!"

With that, Malandrino pulled the ring between his legs.

Bang, bang!
The cap gun fired first, piercing the glass on top of his head, punching four holes, and then, under his ass, the flames rose, and the ejection seat activated, carrying him upwards, and the top of the seat pushed open the cockpit The cover was blown head-on by a strong airflow, coupled with the overload of the seat, Malandrino felt that everything was black before his eyes.

In the early ejection, the canopy was thrown off, and the ejection tab was on the top of the head, but this was not absolutely safe.After watching Top Gun, you know that the radar officer Wild Goose in the back seat of the protagonist died because he hit the canopy during the ejection.

So in the later stage, it is more common to use the method of directly smashing the canopy. When watching the video of the J-20, you can find that the canopy above the pilot's head has a circle of irregular lines, which is the place where it is specially broken.

As a test pilot, Marandrino has ejected and escaped more than once. Each time, he swore it would be the last time, but this time, it was absolutely unexpected.

The ecstasy after the ejection made him not in the mood to look at the plane. Just after he ejected, Delano immediately pulled the control lever and tried to pull the plane up.

"Come on, baby, you will be able to get up, definitely! My 500 million, get up!"

According to the original plan, Qin Tao asked Delano to buy it directly. The budget of 1000 million was enough, and the rest was used for Delano's activities. After that, he made the plane disappear by means of a crash.

However, Delano revised the plan.

He wants to be a white wolf empty-handed, or he can get this plane here without spending any money. In this way, all 1000 million will be his!

Therefore, Delano came to find his old friend. He never thought of cheating on his old friend. It was just an accident that Marandrino got on the plane. Fortunately, the accident is gone now.

Marandrino has been ejected, and the rest has nothing to do with Marandrino.

Under the severe overload, Delano's facial muscles have been deformed, and the smile on it has also become fearful. When the plane is almost touching the sea, it turns into a level flight!
It worked!
Delano didn't dare to continue to pull up the plane, so he continued to fly westward at a height of less than five meters from the sea.According to the fuel in the plane, he should still be able to fly a thousand kilometers!
