A certain area of the Bohai Sea, China
A thrilling event happened...
At 9:08 in the morning,
Accompanied by the roar of a huge engine,
The J-15 fighter piloted by the heroic test pilot Deming League
Howled from the sea and the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the two main wheels of the carrier aircraft
At the moment of touching the deck of the aircraft carrier,
The tail hooks of the fighter planes hung the blocking cables firmly,
A huge "V" was drawn steadily!
At a speed of more than two hundred kilometers per hour,
There is only a deck of more than 200 meters,
Finally, hang on one point very accurately!
It is no exaggeration to say that he is "dancing on the tip of a knife"!
The moment the J-15 landed steadily on the Liaoning ship,
It means that the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft of the Chinese aircraft carrier
Achieved a breakthrough from "0" to "1",
It also means that the Chinese aircraft carrier has officially opened
A new journey with real combat effectiveness!
At this exciting time,
The combat troops far away in the South China Sea
Naval aviation pilot Zhang Chaozheng and his comrades
Together around the TV set, tears filled their eyes with excitement;
And Beijing, thousands of kilometers away,
Pilots Sun Baosong, Wang Yong, Yang Yong and others,
Carrier-based aircraft being accepted
Pilot selection medical examination
Since that day,
Their fate is about to meet,
A great historical mission,
Trusted by a far-reaching era,
It is falling on their shoulders.
Start from scratch and become a real carrier-based pilot;
Start from scratch, in the shortest time
Make yourself a "seed" instructor for carrier-based aircraft,
Cultivate more "knife-tip dancers" for Chinese aircraft carriers.
This is destined to be a
An unprecedented "pioneer journey"...
01
Even if you pay the price of life
Also fly to the farther sea, deeper blue
Carrier-based pilots are the world’s
One of the recognized high-risk occupations,
Known as the "dancer on the tip of the knife."
Choosing to be a "dancer on the tip of a knife"
Sun Baosong, Wang Yong, Yang Yong, Zhang Chao, Ai Qun...
Of course they understand the danger!
For land-based flight, the fighter plane will land steadily after slowing down.
Carrier-based flight, but the carrier-based aircraft
When the speed is more than 200 kilometers per hour, it is instantly reduced to 0,
It is similar to a "man-made crash".
Not only the previous flying experience is not useful,
Everyone knows very well,
If you want to aim from a thousand miles away
An aircraft carrier the size of a postage stamp,
And hang the blocking wire precisely,
This requires hundreds of actions to be completed within tens of seconds of landing,
And the prerequisite for doing all of this,
There is only one word: practice!
However, just as the whole team confidently
As we approached the dream of truly taking off and landing on an aircraft carrier,
They suddenly had a dark experience.
April 6, 2016
In the J-15 fighter training mission,
Cao Xianjian's fighter suddenly lost control.
Life and death,
His instinct was to save the fighter,
After several operations are invalid,
Since the time to escape has been missed,
He hit the sea hard,
This accident caused Cao Xianjian’s burst fracture of the lumbar spine,
Serious injuries such as thoracic spine and tail spine,
The reality did not leave teammates too much time to grieve.
With a heavy heart,
They plunged into intense training again.
But no one thought,
After just 21 days,
A bigger disaster suddenly came...
April 27, 2016
When Zhang Chao drove the fighter plane to land,
The nose suddenly got out of control and lifted up,
The plane left the ground instantly.
In the critical moment, Zhang Chao also wanted to save the fighter.
Unfortunately, he died in the service.
Wang Yong is watching
Zhang Chao fell in front of his eyes,
Ai Qun cannot accept this fact even more.
"Every day our two brothers go out together,
Suddenly one day only I went back to the dormitory by myself,
But he didn't bring my brother back..."
Seeing that the final charge is about to be launched,
But now everything has become unknown.
The encounter between Cao Xianjian and Zhang Chao
It shrouded the team like a dark cloud.
The team has been grounded for more than a month,
If negative emotions are allowed to spread,
It will be difficult for the team to stand up again.
"No matter how much it costs,
The advancement of the ship on board the carrier-based aircraft must never stop,
I am willing to be the first person.
"
After completing technical investigation and demonstration by relevant departments,
Sun Baosong, the backbone of the team, decided to take the lead in the flight.
He drove a fighter plane to the sky,
Push the rod, adjust the bow angle,
The plane whizzed along the standard glide line.
This flight,
Reignited the confidence of the team!
"Zhang Chao fell on the last few steps before success.
We must complete the mission he failed to complete!
"
In August 2016, they brought Zhang Chao’s relics,
Driving the J-15 to take off in Liaoning!
That day, they successfully passed
Aircraft carrier landing and landing qualification certification;
That day, they finally became qualified
Carrier fighter pilot
That day, Zhang Chao’s roommate Ai Qun
After walking down the suspended ladder, tears burst into his face,
He took out the flashlight Zhang Chao had used before his death.
Excitedly said: Brother, we are on the ship.
What makes everyone more encouraged is that
Cao Xianjian, who was seriously injured,
After 419 days of rehabilitation and training,
Created a miracle that only Chinese soldiers can create,
With tenacious perseverance and the fighting quality of never admitting defeat,
Successfully took off and landed on the Liaoning ship,
Continue to fight side by side with your comrades.
Loyal, fearless, overcoming obstacles,
The first batch of carrier-based fighter pilots of the Republic,
Created their history and glory,
They are about to open
It is another great and glorious new journey!

"The era has chosen us and we must not let it down"
April 12, 2018
The Central Military Commission held a grand ceremony in the South China Sea
The largest maritime parade in the history of New China.
That day, 48 battleships lined up neatly,
76 fighters fought against the sea and the sky,
More than 10,000 officers and soldiers are majestic and heroic.
President Xi Jinping issued a military parade
The mobilization order to "completely build a world-class navy."
At the assembly meeting of the flight instructor team,
Wang Yong took the heavy banner from the Deming League.
Zhang Chao’s comrades,
This group of blade dancers understand,
The Republic wants them to be the leading dancers on the tip of the knife,
You must forge yourself into the trump card of the trump card,
The tip of the knife!
At the beginning of the establishment,
They insist on training and summarizing at the same time,
Every day I get off the training ground, I go to another "battlefield":
Ding Yang, Cao Xianjian and other instructors
"Guest" training staff,
Start with the most basic training plan and improve it level by level;
Zhu Zhiqiang, Luo Hu Lidan, Yang Yong and other instructors
Serving as the head of the course,
Tackling difficulties one by one professionally;
Wang Yong, Ai Qun and other instructors
For bridges, windmills, telephone poles, etc.
Obstacles that may endanger the safety of low-altitude flight,
Label one by one, accurately measure each data,
Finally formed a safe and scientific low-altitude route...
To ensure the science and accuracy of compiling teaching materials,
They often do it for a piece of data,
After heated arguments,
It was even too noisy.
In order to accurately measure the extreme performance and data of the aircraft,
They personally challenged the boundary conditions of the flight.
"Only our generation has established standards,
Only the new generation of pilots can stand at a higher starting point
To contend with the world-class navy.
"
It is precisely relying on this tenacity to fix the goal and not relax,
Relying on the bloody responsibility of fighting the sea and the sky
And the bravery and fearlessness of "carrying your head and doing business",
In just a few years,
Various syllabuses have been developed successively,
Standardize the training process,
Carry out research on training models,
空域精细化管理等重难点任务攻关，
将一个个“首次”和“第一”；
写进航母舰载飞行事业的大事记里：
舰载战斗机飞行员培养时间大幅缩短，
舰载战斗机飞行员生长路径、
培养链路全面贯通，飞行员教官群体
闯出了一条属于中国自己的
舰载机人才发展之路。

升空就是作战
起飞就是迎敌
教官丁阳经常挂在嘴上的一句话是：
练兵备战容不得半点马虎，
我们练习的标准只有一个，
就是完美！
最让丁阳感动的是，
为了无限接近完美这个目标，
学员们都非常努力，
经常凌晨四五点，
模拟器前面就排长队了，
还有人晚上抱着被子过来“飞”的；
模拟机油门连接处的部位，
正常使用周期是三年，
但在这几个月就得换一次。
眼前的这一幕幕，不只丁阳，
很多教官都非常感慨：
我们为舰载机事业拼尽全力的时候，
年轻人同样也在拼命地练拼命地追。
王勇是学员口中出了名的
“黑面教官”，
学员在飞行上的任何问题，
哪怕是毫厘偏差也难逃他的眼睛。
△王勇 舰载机飞行教官
2019年，一次在陆基着舰的训练过程中，
学员张宇亮手上一个
下意识细微动作，
被王勇严肃地指出来：
在战斗中，毫米级的偏差，
可能造成的就是灾难性的后果！
后来，张宇亮迎来了人生的
第二次高考——昼间航母起降资质认证。
接过认证证书的那一刻，
王勇拍拍他的肩膀，说：
欢迎加入尾钩俱乐部！
然而，王勇比任何人都更清楚，
“成为舰载机飞行员
还不等于战斗员！”
从能上舰到真正能打仗，
还有很长的路要走。
飞出“战味”，
必须将实战思维融入
每个课目、每个架次、每个动作中。
在训练过程中，
大家始终坚持一个理念：
“升空就是作战，起飞就是迎敌！”
在一次航线课目训练中，
一名学员驾驶战机刚起飞不久，
海上雾气越来越浓。
想到实战不会有预演，
学员们必须学会处理突发情况时，
孙宝嵩当即决定改换训练课目，
下令“转入复杂气象训练课目”。
In recent years, drilling ravines and low-altitude penetration...
These practical subjects,
Appeared on the training ground one after another.
In the journey towards winning step by step,
The instructors continue to sow the "seeds" of actual combat,
Sharpen the "point of knife" in the "point of knife",
Prepare to "fight" in "peace"!
From land-based to ship-based, from single aircraft to formation,
From offshore to far sea,
Today, China’s carrier-based aircraft flight talent team
It grows and develops in an accelerated way,
The photo wall of the aircraft carrier "Tail Hook Club",
From the first 5 photos,
Up to now, the whole wall is densely hung.
In this one full of sweat, tears,
On the road of bloody dreams,
This group is getting younger and younger.
Carry the mission on your shoulders, let your dreams shine into reality,
These flying instructors are like sharp swords,
Is leading more and more "knife-tip dancers"
Guarding the sea and the sky,
Soaring in the ocean,
Constantly launch an assault to new areas.
Prosper towards the sea, decline against the sea.
Blue sea
Witnessed them all the way!
Do not forget the original intention and move forward,
Even if the road ahead is full of hardships and dangers,
They go forward courageously and fearlessly!
Today, let us remember this group
The figure riding the wind and waves above the sea and sky.
They write miracles
The group of carrier-based fighter flight instructors,
It is a fighting team that educates people for the war,
It is even the "flying shark warrior" who stuns the sky!
