Chapter 543 Who Is This?
After staying in Portland for four days, Gao Yang's daily life was very regular. He got up in the morning and went to the aviation school with Cui Bo to study, had lunch, and went to Alilan Mohsen's studio to shoot.
After a few days, Gao Yang has become very familiar with the process of the three-gun shooting competition. All that is left is to wait for the pistol and shotgun to be modified, to familiarize himself with the shooting characteristics of the new gun and improve the accuracy.
Gao Yang's purpose in learning to fly is simple, that is, he doesn't want to encounter a situation where there is a plane but no one knows how to fly it.
Gao Yang's requirements were also very simple. He just had to be able to fly a small fixed-wing aircraft. Of course, he also had to be able to fly a helicopter. On the battlefield, what they encountered most was actually a real helicopter.
It is actually not that difficult to obtain a pilot license in the United States, and there are many aviation schools. It is no different from learning to drive a car. You only need to pass the physical examination and pay money to learn.
Gao Yang never thought about getting a pilot's license. He just wanted to be able to fly the plane and land it safely in the shortest possible time, so his learning process was also much more compact. He just wanted to understand the most basic and necessary knowledge. After that, on the fifth day, you will go to the sky with the coach and learn the actual operation directly.
What's special is that Gao Yang is not learning a small fixed-wing aircraft this time, but a helicopter, because there happens to be a school in Portland that teaches people to fly helicopters. More importantly, this aviation school is very big, and there are Gao Yang and the others. After Downey Jr. promised to pay a large sum of money for the required model of aircraft, the aviation school omitted all possible steps, just hoping that Gao Yang could fly the aircraft by himself in the shortest possible time.
However, even if it is a violation, even if the steps that can be saved are omitted first. But after 911. The United States has very strict controls on people learning to fly. Although the aviation school where Gao Yang studied could arrange the courses more closely and reduce some teaching procedures, it did not dare to skip the procedures of verifying the identity of the students and logging in and filing.
Gao Yang Cuibo registered his identity certificate "accurately" and then had a physical examination at FAA, a qualified doctor recognized by the Federal Aviation Administration.
On the morning of the fifth day, Gao Yang and Cui Bo went to the clinic to get their physical examination certificates and the learning flight certificate issued by the clinic. Finally I can follow the flight as planned.
According to FAA regulations, obtaining a private pilot license requires at least 35 hours of flying and 30 hours of ground theory teaching courses. If it were not for the fact that the aviation school teachers only took two hours of ground courses every day, and because they caught up with the weekend, Gao Yang them It took two days to get the flight learner's certificate, so they could take to the sky earlier.
The steps in this province cannot be omitted, but there are no explicit provisions, or it can be done in one step, so we must seize the time.
Originally, the aviation school should have started with small helicopters.
But Gao Yang and the others came up and flew with them for the first time, that is, the aircraft they planned to learn to fly first was Sikorsky's S-70 heavy-duty helicopter.
The s-70 is a civilian model. The military model is the UH-60, which is the Black Hawk. Gao Yang and the others just shot down the plane not long ago. To be precise, it was the plane they watched the Angel Mercenary Group shoot down.
If you learn to fly a small helicopter, the price of one flight is about two hundred US dollars, but you still need to add fuel tax and taxes on the pilot's consumption. The normal price has to be down to three hundred US dollars, which is enough, but if you replace the aircraft with After the S-70, the price for an hour is two thousand dollars.
Although it requires a lot of extra money, if it weren't for such a high price, he wouldn't have been able to learn it with the S-70.
After arriving at the aviation school, the formalities were completed, and all that was left was to wait to get on the plane. However, before getting on the plane, we had to wait for the pilot to arrive first.
The weather was a bit cold, so a staff member took Gao Yang and the others to the tarmac. After standing there for five minutes, the pilot who was supposed to arrive earlier was not seen.
After waiting for another ten minutes, when Gao Yang felt that his hands and feet were a little cold, the staff member finally couldn't bear it anymore. He went to the flight instructor's place with obvious anger and called someone in person.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, when Gao Yang started to get a little angry, he saw the staff member running back quickly. After arriving in front of Gao Yang, he gasped and said: "Sorry, Mr. Gao, today's flight The plan must be cancelled, sir. The pilot had an accident. We are extremely sorry for wasting your time, but the pilot had an unfortunate and serious accident and it will be impossible to fly in a short time."
Gao Yang knew who was going to take him flying today. He frowned and said, "What happened to Mr. Hamichael?"
"Mr. Hamichael fell down the stairs when he was going downstairs just now. His head was smashed. I don't know if the bones are okay. You know, Hamechel Xianxian is older and he feels very bad. , has now been rushed to the hospital, so I’m sorry that today’s flight plan can only be cancelled.”
Gao Yang frowned and said: "Oh, this is really an unfortunate and terrible accident. I hope Mr. Hamithael is okay, but is there no one else in the school who can teach us and take us flying?"
The staff member looked embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, there are only two pilots in our school who can fly the S-70. One is Mr. Harmichael, and the other one is on vacation now. He is in Florida."
Gao Yang said helplessly: "So, will our flight plan be delayed indefinitely?"
"Sorry, unless you can switch to another aircraft type today, or, actually, well, I think you can fly another aircraft type first."
"What do you mean?"
After hesitating for a moment, the staff member said: "Actually, there is another person in our school who can fly the S-70. However, Mr. Hamchel is a very experienced flight instructor, and you paid a lot more for it." Money, if you want to change someone now, first of all, the qualifications are not as good as Mr. Harmichael.”
Gao Yang immediately perked up and said, "It doesn't matter what his qualifications are. You just need to tell me what his flying experience is like?"
"Well, although this pilot has just obtained the flight instructor qualification certificate, he already has nearly two hundred hours of flying experience on the UH-60. Yes, this is another question. This pilot has flown the UH-60 before. It’s a military transport helicopter, not a civilian S-70.”
Gao Yang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said quickly: "No problem, no problem, this is the one."
The staff member still looked embarrassed and said, "So, about the coaching fees."
For Gao Yang, it is definitely more suitable to be taught by a military helicopter pilot than by Hamithael, a veteran civilian helicopter flight instructor. Although Hamechel will pay more to teach, Gao Yang Don't care.
"There is nothing wrong with the fee. There is no need to change or refund the money."
A smile finally appeared on the staff's face. He nodded and said, "Okay, please wait a moment. I'll call someone over right away. They'll be fine soon."
The staff asked someone to go. Gao Yang smiled and said to Cui Bo: "Do you think this is a blessing in disguise for us? He flies a military plane. Let's take the opportunity to find out how good the UH-60 is."
Cui Bo looked at Gao Yang and said, "Is there any difference? If you want to know this, just ask the national bird. He drives the Black Hawk. Do you need to ask others?"
Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "How is this the same? If it's not facing the plane, we wouldn't understand it even if Jaclan said it. On the plane, even if it's a civilian type, we can probably get a rough idea."
Cui Bo nodded and said: "That's right, well, then we are indeed a blessing in disguise."
The two of them were talking and waiting not long before they saw a man coming towards them from the office building, shaking his head and shaking his head.
The person who arrived was wearing a pair of sunglasses commonly worn by pilots, a pair of huge headphones on his head, a cigarette in his mouth, a military green M65 windbreaker, a pair of jeans on his legs, and a pair of cigarettes on his feet. Wearing a pair of military boots, his hair is very short, just a little longer than a bald head. He looks to be over 1.7 meters tall, almost 1.8 meters tall.
Looking at the image of the flight instructor, Cui Boba smacked his lips and said, "Well, I think this guy looks like he came from the military. However, looking at his appearance, I feel like misfortunes never come singly."
Gao Yang also felt that the person who came was unreliable. Maybe he was a good pilot, but he was not necessarily a good instructor. Therefore, his idea of a blessing in disguise was somewhat shaken.
When the flight instructor approached them, he raised his hand and waved, then took off his headphones and said loudly: "Hi, how are you guys?"
As he got closer, Gao Yang realized that the coach who came looked a little awkward. How should I put it? Judging by his clothes, hair, and movements, he was a man. But looking at his face, I would say he was a man. His face was a little small and a little too feminine. Well, I would say she is a woman, but the lines on her face are very strong and angular, but even with such a hard-lined face, she still looks a bit like a woman.
Gao Yang couldn't tell whether the person coming here was a boy or a girl by looking at his breasts, because he was wearing a fat m65 windbreaker, and it obviously had a cotton liner, so the breasts were covered up.
He nodded subconsciously, and after greeting the person who came, Gao Yang took a breath of air and said in Chinese: "Rabbit, do you think this person is a sissy or a tomboy?"
After Cui Bo looked him up and down, he said with a tangled look on his face: "I can't tell, it should be a sissy. However, I'm really not sure, but it should be a sissy. Could it be that it's a dead shemale?"
Gao Yang and Cui Bo only exchanged a few words in Chinese and then stopped talking. When the person who came finally walked up to Gao Yang, he did not extend his hand to shake. Instead, he stood two steps in front of Gao Yang, wearing sunglasses. After staring at him and Cui Bo for several times, he blew out the cigarette on the ground beside him without using his hands, stretched out his foot to crush it out, and said: "Hello, my name is Irene Zepp Allepog. , in the following time, I will serve as your flight instructor."
