Over 3,000 Kilometers of Continuous Flight! Fighter Jets Arrive at the Southeast Coast in One Go

The tanker soars in the clouds

The fighter jet approaches steadily

With the assistance of aerial refueling

The fighter jet can move from the western border of the motherland

To the southeastern coast in one go

From the western border to the eastern coast

Over 3000 kilometers reached in one go

At an airport in the Western Theater Air Force

Several J-16 fighter jets slid into the parking area

Pilot Wang Chenhui and his comrades

Just completed their stationed training and returned from the east

During this mission

They took off from the western border of the motherland

And, through aerial refueling

Continuously flew over 3000 kilometers

To arrive at the eastern coast in one go

The weather conditions along the way were complex and changeable

Every segment of the flight was full of challenges

Everyone remained calm and coordinated

Wang Chenhui, a pilot from a unit of the Western Theater Air Force

Has safely flown for 700 hours

He is one of the pilots in the same batch

Who completed the conversion in the shortest time

Rigorous training

Not only honed aerial refueling skills

But also equipped pilots accustomed to high mountain and desert environments

With stronger capabilities for maritime operations

The hard power of "threading the needle" in the clouds

Is inseparable from day-to-day diligent practice

Aerial refueling

Is known as "centimeter-level flying"

It is a globally recognized high-risk, high-difficulty subject

Behind the precise operation of "threading the needle" in the clouds

Is the hard work honed through countless hours of practice

Wang Chenhui recalls

During one training session

The weather was initially very good before departure

But as he was about to conduct aerial docking at several thousand meters

He suddenly flew into a cloud

The turbulence increased

Visibility significantly decreased

At this point, maintaining positional relationship became more difficult

The effective time left for docking was very limited

"Such a large cone

Wandering around in front

The psychological pressure is quite obvious"

Fortunately, Wang Chenhui withstood the pressure

And completed the mission

To become an excellent combatant

One must diligently hone their skills day after day

In various complex weather conditions

Aerial refueling is so cool

The pilot teaches you step by step↓↓

This year marks the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People's Air Force

From nothing to something, from weak to strong

It relies on the ideals and beliefs of generations

To serve the country through aviation

It is the original intention to put the interests of the motherland and the people first

They use the traces of their powerful flights

To build the "Blue Sky Great Wall" that protects the mountains and rivers

Salute!
