First jump from the cloud, successfully completed!
It was not yet dawn
The flight cadets of the Air Force Aviation University
had already lined up at the training ground
In a little while
they would embark on their first parachute training
Among the ranks
The female flight cadets of the 14th batch of the Air Force stood out
With their neat short hair and determined gazes
They were all poised and ready
To face this "test in the clouds"
As the morning light brightened
Young faces
were filled with confidence and anticipation
Under the guidance of the air drop instructor
The cadets boarded the aircraft in an orderly manner
The aircraft reached the designated airspace
The signal light turned on
The cabin door opened, and the airflow rushed in
"Jump!"
At the command of the air drop instructor
The cadets decisively leaped out of the cabin
Before long, above a hundred meters in the air
Parachutes blossomed one after another
This jump looked smooth
But behind it was day after day of "grinding"
In the early stages, they systematically learned aviation survival theory
Completed basic training in aircraft exit, platforms, and rings
Repeatedly practiced simulated operations and emergency handling drills
Getting the "ticket" for airborne parachuting was not easy
"During ground training,
I often heard instructors say 'three swellings and three reductions, only then can you ascend to the clouds',
It wasn't until I practiced it myself that I understood the weight of this saying."
Cadet Xie Jinping said
The parachutes slowly descended
The ground was getting closer
The cadets tightened their control straps and maneuvered the parachutes
Landing at the designated spot
50 meters, 10 meters, 2 meters……
Finally, their feet touched the ground steadily
They packed up their parachutes and stood up
The cadets moved swiftly
With joy on their faces after completing the challenge
Zhao Rindong was selected as a college student flight cadet after graduating from the Air Force Early Warning Academy
He said: "At first, I was a bit nervous,
But after landing, I felt a sense of relief, and more excitement."
Choosing to fly
Means stepping out of the comfort zone
And heading to a battlefield full of unknowns
This test in the clouds
Strengthened his and his comrades' belief in pursuing their dreams in the blue sky
After the training ended
The instructors awarded the cadets
Parachuting qualification certificates and training insignia
This training
Is a fundamental lesson in aviation survival
And also a hardcore exercise in psychological quality
When they look up again
At that sea of clouds, it is no longer a scenery
But a battlefield they are about to charge into
A place protected by their youth and blood
