A Certain Unit of the Marine Corps Organizes Multiple Batch Formation Flight Training

Recently, a certain unit of the Marine Corps conducted multiple batches of formation flight training during an off-site training period

in conjunction with a naval station of the Eastern Theater Command

focusing on practical subjects such as low-altitude penetration, tactical maneuvering,

and material delivery, carried out in a coherent manner

to enhance pilots' tactical and technical skills

and the comprehensive support capabilities of the personnel at the station

Various support vehicles entered the runway

the fuel support team arrived at the designated position

and the bird control team simultaneously carried out bird control operations

Upon receiving the takeoff signal,

multiple aircraft took off in sequence

heading to the designated airspace for training

After entering the mission airspace,

the crews formed a formation

to conduct low-altitude penetration training

During the formation flight,

the unit randomly set up emergency situations

and the pilots maneuvered the aircraft for steep descents,

precisely controlling the descent angle,

flight speed, and flight attitude.

After completing the emergency handling drills,

the crews successively conducted material delivery training,

accurately completing the drop operations

As night fell,

the cross-day-and-night training continued

with reduced visibility at night,

which posed higher demands on flight control, situational awareness,

and formation coordination.

The participating crews steadily carried out

night formation maneuvers, tactical evasion, and other training,

sharpening their all-weather combat capabilities.
