I love you, I won't kill you

When Major Andres parked the T-6A safely on the original parking spot, Amanda untied the oxygen mask, pushed up the wide-brimmed flight sunglasses that blocked her eyes, and looked at the wide and unobstructed naval airfield He let out a sigh of relief.

"Second Lieutenant, do you have any questions?" The major asked with concern.

Amanda glanced back at the Major's instructor, "No, sir. It's just... you know, this is my first flight."

The major smiled slightly. "Yeah, I know. Well, we can go back to the surface now."

With the help of the ground crew, the two stepped out of the cabin one after another and stepped on the boarding ladder to the solid earth's surface.When Amanda stepped on the airport with her flight helmet in hand, she exclaimed happily, "Wow, it feels so good to be back on Earth."

"So, when you're out of gravity, isn't it better than this feeling?" Paul walked beside her, losing no time to say something.

"I think it should be, sir." At this time, Amanda's gaze returned to those other "Texans" who were circling or flying near the airport.

Holding his flight helmet, Paul said as he walked out of the airport, "Second Lieutenant, I don't want me to disturb your mood, but we must finish the post-flight work."

"Yes, sir." Amanda quickened her pace in a happy mood, and followed the instructor to the flight preparation room.

In the flight preparation room, she will be assisted by instructors to complete post-flight paperwork.After that, she will conduct a serious and thorough review of today's flight with the instructor.Obviously, this is the most important part of Amanda's first flight, because Major Andres will give a detailed evaluation of her performance and various operations.

This is a great time for interaction where the Major can evaluate what Amanda is doing right, what needs to be improved, and what could be done differently or better.And Amanda can also make full use of this opportunity to ask more detailed questions to the instructor, so as to clarify some misunderstandings in maneuvers or doubts about air procedures.

Just before lunchtime, the major finally asked Amanda, "Now, ensign, do you have any other questions?"

What Amanda wants to know most now is the evaluation of the major's instructors. She knows that this thing will directly affect the future flight assessment to a large extent.After pondering for a few seconds, he asked, "Sir, what is the importance of the flight test?"

"Second Lieutenant McLaren, at present, I think that you should cherish every flight training and improve your flying level. For the flight assessment, don't pay too much attention to its meaning." The major's words sounded a bit ambiguous.

"So, may I take it as one of my many assessments? Do you mean that, sir?"

"Marines, the questions you ask are very sharp and practical. Although the Navy's bureaucratic statements and practices can properly relieve the pressure and urgency of the students, I think you have to be prepared for everything."

Although the major didn't directly answer Amanda's question, she had made a correct judgment in her heart.Now it seems that flight assessment is important, and flight evaluation is also very important.Only by fully meeting the test standards of the Navy's flight can it be considered truly qualified.

"Understood, sir." Amanda didn't pursue the question any further, but stood at attention and replied.

Had she not received the order to fly directly from the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, without previous experience in the Marine Corps, known for its rigorous training, Amanda would have been so nervous that she would have eaten lunch not go down.Just like that Captain Cannian, just staying at Pensacola Air Base began to worry about his flying level and assessment results.

Amanda, who comes from a naval family, is destined to form a long-term fateful complex with the US Navy throughout her life.This applies not only to the Naval Air Base, Navy Flight Instructor or Navy Captain friend, but also to the working partners who are coming to Whittingfield.To be precise, it should be a few close and competitive female naval officer friends.

At lunchtime, the cadets dined with the instructors in the officers' dining room on the base.During the meeting, other active student pilots kept asking Amanda about her experience after the first flight and the essentials of air maneuvers.

Amanda tries her best to help these new cadets who have not been to the sky in the spirit of fellowship in the Navy.This is the tradition and practice of the navy. Only by helping each other in study or training can all students graduate together.

At around 20:[-] in the afternoon, the sky over Whitingfield Air Base was still clear.Visibility is very good, which is very suitable for the faster pace of flight training.It's been helpful for Amanda, maybe she's not quite enjoying the base just yet.

The flight training on the T-6A in the afternoon still revolves around the basic subjects of flight.In the morning training, the new maneuver that Paul added to the fast learning second lieutenant of the Marine Corps was the tail turn.In the afternoon training, he planned to test the second lieutenant's learning ability and ability to absorb and digest.

After a series of climbs, turns, and descents, Paul sat in the back seat and said to Amanda over the radio, "Lieutenant, now start the stall and emergency procedures."

"Received, sir."

"Okay, I'm asking you to start a rapid descent. Remember, I'm not taking control of the plane lightly."

"Understood, sir." Amanda clearly remembered how the rapid descent was explained in the flight manual.However, at this moment, the instructor's words made her not quite understand, "What does the major mean? Could it be that he intends to watch me accelerate the T-6A down to a low altitude without taking any action on the control of the aircraft?"

"Second Lieutenant, what's the matter with you? Execute the order!" Andres urged again.

"Yes, sir, I am preparing for a rapid fall." Amanda replied cleanly.

The moment she finished answering, Amanda suddenly pushed forward the power control lever she was holding tightly, and the "Texan" in her hands rushed to the low altitude with a whistling sound, and rushed to the airport ground of the base... ....

"God, what happened to Mike's plane? Sir." Flying in another T-6A on the other side of the sky, a naval ensign cadet couldn't help but make a terrified voice.

But the instructor sitting behind him calmly said over the radio, "Second Lieutenant, please pay attention to your flying altitude. I believe that Major Andres will definitely not let that plane crash."

The ensign suddenly remembered the procedure in the flight manual, and said to the radio, "Understood, sir. I think Ensign McLaren is doing stall training?"

Amanda drove the T-6A to accelerate towards the low altitude. At this time, she had to keep in mind the procedures she had learned.Manipulate the aircraft to descend rapidly to the lowest emergency landing point, and pull up the aircraft in time when you, the instructor, and people or buildings on the ground are injured.

The meaning of Paul giving her this order is very simple, it is to let Amanda can accurately make the most correct air response according to the degree of treatment for low-altitude power loss and high-altitude power loss.

The plane was about to hit the ground in less than a hundred feet, and Amanda still manipulated the power control lever without letting go.At this time, he calmly said to the major, "Sir, the current flying altitude is below 100 feet, do you need me to pull the plane up?"
