Chapter 1048 Paris Air Show (Part 1)
Mr. Bernard also brought a bottle of rare Hennessy Timeless, which is known as a collection-level premium cognac limited to 2,000 bottles in the world, but this bottle is not among the limited 2,000 bottles, but a Bernard with a smaller quantity and higher quality. The best of Mr.'s private collection.
Will, Guo Tailai and Mr. Bernard tasted this bottle of top-quality cognac together. After Will's knowledge of the wonderful taste of various fine wines, Guo Tailai could also enjoy drinking it. The three people with this identity are very relaxed, sitting on a balcony of Will's mansion, enjoying the afterglow of the sunset, admiring the beautiful scenery of Paris, tasting delicious Hennessy, chatting about some recent anecdotes, simple Happy, very happy.
"Can you stay in Paris for a few more days?" Mr. Bernard asked Guo Tailai before leaving: "I can organize a grand party, supermodels, beauties, everything you need. Which star do you like? Ah Janie? Sophie Marceau?"
"Ha! Instead of this party, why not treat me to the most authentic French meal!" Guo Tailai declined with a laugh. These big men always want to seduce themselves with beautiful women. Is Fatty Guo that kind of person? snort!
Will is in charge of the big meal. He is about the same age as Fatty and has similar hobbies. Mr. Bernard is very sensible and doesn't get entangled in this matter. Anyway, I have already established a preliminary contact with Guo Tailai, and because of the Bulgari watch and the idea of the spokesperson, our friendship has been further shortened, there is no need to do it all at once. Didn't the guys from the Gu Lian family not pay much attention to Guo Tailai at first, and then slowly became friends after a few times? Mr. Bernard was more patient than Will.
The air show was held as scheduled, with Will, the local leader, Guo Tailai and others entered the exhibition area to enjoy the performances of the aerobatic teams from various countries, and they sat in the VIP seats directly.
Guo Tailai and his party each held a telescope, and everyone looked up at the sky with their necks up. The "French Patrolman" was the first to appear on the stage. The wonderful aerobatics were far from comparable to ordinary air shows. Various dangerous actions fully demonstrated the pilot's superb driving skills at the nick of time.
The F16 aircraft of the American Thunderbirds performance team also won a lot of applause. The performances of the British Red Arrows performance team have always been wonderful. Turkish Star, from Turkey, made its debut at a major international air show for the first time, and its flight performance was very impressive.
In addition to the fighter jets that Guo Tailai knew before, there are many other aircraft on display. The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet in the United States, Lockheed Martin even exhibited the X35, which is the predecessor of the F35, but unfortunately, it is only a full-scale model. Sweden's Saab's JAS-39 Gripen also increased its publicity at this air show. Russia also has Su-30MK fighter jets. Interestingly, because the Russian government owed a huge debt of 63 million US dollars to a Swiss company, a Su-30 was confiscated and detained at the air show.
In addition to fighter jets, various types of helicopters, large and small, dazzled everyone. There are also a bunch of transport aircraft, not only the American strategic transport aircraft C-17A Globemaster, but also the huge figure of An-225, which is simply a surprise. Both Boeing's 737-900 and Airbus' A340-600 participated in the exhibition for the first time. Airbus even confirmed ten unfinished A380-800 large aircraft and signed an intention order for four at this air show.
In addition, the "Global Hawk", which made its public debut at a large-scale air show for the first time, is the latest military reconnaissance aircraft developed by Northrop Corporation of the United States. This reconnaissance aircraft is considered to be the most advanced unmanned aircraft in the world today. With a wingspan of 35 meters, an autonomous flight can last up to 41 hours, and takeoff and landing are completed independently under the guidance of computers and satellite navigation systems. Compared with other reconnaissance aircraft, the "Global Hawk" is larger in size, which enables it to carry more reconnaissance equipment and fuel; its long flight distance enables it to cross oceans; its strong reconnaissance capability enables it to perform reconnaissance missions around the clock.
It is worth mentioning that Huaxia also participated in the exhibition. The models of K-8 trainer aircraft and Yun-12 transport aircraft occupied the golden booth and became dazzling stars.
The Indian side even provided photos of their most advanced various fighters, including LCA fighters... quite confident.
All the aircraft are arranged on the ground of the exhibition area, and the audience on the public open day can observe them face to face at close range. Except for some sensitive models such as F22, which are not allowed to touch, most of the aircraft, even Visitors are allowed to touch it, and taking photos is not a problem, just take pictures casually, and participate in the exhibition! Can you not let people take pictures?
A rare opportunity, from Lin Jiayi to the security personnel, everyone has a camera, some even have a hand-held camera, and when they see anyone who is interested, they go and shoot in all directions. Not only did the staff not stop them, but they greeted them enthusiastically. If they wanted to know the specific data, they would also present them with beautifully printed brochures. They were extremely enthusiastic.
Guo Tailai was inside, like a hungry ghost who had been hungry for ten days, rushing into the unguarded kitchen that had just finished the Manchu banquet, scanning, recording and enjoying almost side by side. Each plane is like a plate of delicacies, and the entire Paris Air Show has become a gluttonous feast for Guo Tailai.
From the public open day on the 17th to the 23rd, Guo Tailai has not stopped, first the United States, then Russia, and then Europe, in this order, Guo Tailai must carefully observe and scan every aircraft worth scanning . The real machine will also completely copy the various systems, and record everything that can be recorded in detail. The various aero-engines exhibited also did not fall, and all structures were scanned in detail, and all parameters were recorded.
Even on the F22 aircraft, Guo Tailai secretly used nano-robots to scrape off a batch of stealth paint in several different parts. The total amount is about a few grams. Maybe the people in the company can analyze it carefully. up. Of course, Guo Tailai, the fine material of certain aero-engines, also secretly took some powder and brought it back for research when appropriate.
Even though he came every day, Guo Tailai failed to scan all the aircraft structures. There are too many planes, so in the end, we can only scan advanced European, American and Russian fighter planes, transport planes, electronic reconnaissance planes, helicopters, etc. Guo Tailai gave up all the relatively unimportant large and small civilian planes, and ignored the missiles. You have to watch it, and only record the most urgently needed. It was not until the night when the air show was closed that Guo Tailai reluctantly left the exhibition area under the urging of the staff.
"It's so cool! It seems that I will participate in more air shows if I have the opportunity in the future!" With a tongue-licking aftertaste after delicious food, Guo Tailai sighed in satisfaction. It is said that there is also a B2 stealth bomber at the air show in the United States. How about visiting it?
