Chapter 145 Turning the Impossible into Possible(1/3)
Danger often lurks in carelessness.
The more confident a person is and feels that everything is under control, the closer they are to accidents.
Sekere, a seasoned senior instructor, believes that the fog in California is harmless and not something to be afraid of.
But the new pilot in front of Chen Feng, who had less than a thousand hours of safe driving, was not so bold.
"Oh no no sir, I'm sorry, we can't take off today."
Facing Chen Feng's unreasonable demands, the pilot's head shook like a rattle.
Chen Feng looked at his watch and was worried, "But the Air Traffic Control Bureau didn't say no flying today."
Pilot: "Yes, but the notice I received here is to let us consider it at our own discretion. I am very self-aware, so the result of my consideration is to stay at home."
Chen Feng took out his mobile phone, brought up the rental company's deposit system, and then opened the value-added service inside, which is the extra tip column for pilots, and pressed a "1" and five "0" in it.
Chen Feng placed the mobile phone in front of the pilot.
Pilot: "Uh..."
Chen Feng sneered, "Go and find out who I am. There is nothing I, Mr. Chen, want to do that I can't do. Today I really want to go for a walk in the sky. Don't ask me why. Because I lied to others.
Awesome, I said I wanted to take a selfie from an overlook in California. It’s foggy now, so that’s even better, it looks more awesome.”
Snap!
Chen Feng changed the "1" in front of it into a "2".
The pilot's pupils widened
My thinking went blank for a moment.
"I...I really can't..."
Chen Feng clicked and changed "2" into "3".
Young Master Chen sneered very arrogantly, "I said I wanted to fly today, so I must fly! Don't be greedy."
The pilot swallowed his saliva and lowered his voice, "Sir, I fly. But..."
"But what?"
"You can't tip so much. This is my sister's bank card account number."
Snap!
The transfer of US$150,000 was completed.
"This is half of the money, and I will give you the other half after everything is done. Don't look like this, I am just so generous. I can't help it, who said I am too rich? Hahahaha!"
Chen Feng crossed his arms and smiled proudly.
"Yeah! Thank you very much Mr. Chen!"
The pilot nodded and hunched over and ran to debug the aircraft.
Chen Feng rolled his eyes and drifted towards something propped up in the corner of the wall.
That is a delta wing, an extreme piece of equipment in extreme sports. It requires at least dozens of hours of aerial training and hundreds of thousands of dollars to master, and you must obtain a qualification certificate before you can play.
Taking advantage of this little preparation time before takeoff, Chen Feng ran over, picked up the folding delta wing and tucked it under his arm, and then ran back to the helicopter.
This is not an ordinary low-end civilian helicopter, but a civilian modified version derived from past military equipment.
The fuselage is slender, powerful and comfortable to ride. It can carry up to twelve passengers including three crew members.
The pilot turned around and tried to pull Chen Feng up.
When he saw Chen Feng carrying the delta wing and preparing to climb onto the plane, he waved his hand repeatedly, "Mr. Chen, you can't bring this."
"why?"
"Do you have a delta license?"
Chen Feng ignored him and jumped up, "Yes."
"Then I need you to show proof."
Chen Feng rolled his eyes, looked at the two assistants sitting on the seats in front of him, then silently stretched out four fingers and blinked, "You have already checked my certificate."
Four hundred thousand!
The pilot's eyes flickered, "Okay... okay."
Due to the weather, there were very few helicopters taking off today to apply for a route, so only a few minutes later, the air traffic control bureau reported back that it was allowed to take off, and the route had been planned.
"K14595, permission to take off. After entering the channel, cruise autonomously and maintain a safe navigation distance from K3971 ahead. You will get new instructions when you are 20 kilometers away from Casades County."
After the pilot replied, the propeller began to rotate.
Chen Feng seemed expressionless, but in fact he was ecstatic in his heart.
Caught up!
K3971 is Rohrle’s private helicopter number!
Not long after, the helicopter took off.
Chen Feng was sitting alone in the rear passenger seat, with the pilot and two assistants in front.
Chen Feng leaned his head on the edge of the bed and looked ahead as hard as he could, hoping to see K3971.
After a minute or two, he lost his composure and said, "Phil, why can't I see that K3971? Didn't the Air Traffic Control Bureau just say that they are in front of us?"
Pilot Phil said angrily: "Mr. Chen, what are you thinking? They took off a few minutes ahead of us. The speed of the helicopter is 300 kilometers per hour, and the distance is very far. They should be arriving soon."
"What!" Chen Feng was shocked, "Then can we speed up and catch up?"
Phil's head is almost getting big.
"Mr. Chen! I know you are very rich, but I ask you to respect my professional ethics as a pilot! You just heard that the Air Traffic Control Bureau asked me to keep a safe flying distance. This distance is very safe now. Flying and Cars
Driving is completely different, in the air nothing is more important than safety!"
Chen Feng thought for a while, "Then I hope you can approach K3971 in front of you as quickly as possible and maintain the minimum safe distance if safety conditions permit."
"Mr. Chen, it's foggy now! You can see it, the fog is getting thicker and thicker! Don't you just want to go up to the sky and take a look? Why do you have to catch up with other people's helicopters?"
"Because I'm happy, because I like it! I'm happy, I just like to pursue excitement!" Chen Feng suddenly asked in a confused manner: "Oh, by the way, how much does our helicopter cost?"
"If it's a second-hand price, it's now worth about $900,000."
Chen Feng sighed inexplicably, "Oh! Nine hundred thousand dollars! Nine hundred thousand dollars! Oh, it's too cheap!"
After saying that, he fell silent.
Five seconds later, Phil silently accelerated the speed of the helicopter, firmly stuck under the maximum speed limit.
Unconsciously, five minutes passed, and Chen Feng finally saw the shadow of K3971 ahead.
The straight-line distance between the two helicopters is now 500 meters, and both are moving along the same channel.
Chen Feng added: "If I buy two planes, is there a discount? Is it 1.8 million US dollars?"
"No, Mr. Chen, I can't buy two. Because ours is unique."
Now Phil really dared not mess around again.
If he continues to approach, it is a serious violation. He will be prosecuted, have to go to jail, have his license revoked, and will not be allowed to engage in this industry again for life. The loss will be too heavy.
When Chen Feng saw that the price increase was unsuccessful, he stopped pressing him.
He just stared forward in silence, his heartbeat gradually speeding up.
It is now morning, and the climate and sunlight conditions are completely different from when the plane crash occurred in another timeline.
But Chen Feng intuitively believed that Ryan was in a dangerous situation, but he couldn't predict what would happen next.
So even though he seemed to be very close now, it still felt like a world away. He didn't know what to do.
As Phil said, not only Ryan, but also himself, one by one.
Once a person leaves the ground and flies into the air, many things change his concept and it is impossible to completely follow his temper.
After all, everyone knows that life and death on an airplane are a thin line.
Even Chen Feng himself was unsure. Although he knew that his physical fitness was extraordinary, he didn't have much confidence that he could withstand the plane crash.
"Why are they hovering in place?" More than thirty seconds passed, and Chen Feng asked in confusion.
But this time Phil in front ignored him, and the command from the tower here was heard on the communicator, reminding them to keep a safe distance and not to get closer.
And notify the route ahead and landing runway conditions.
Since an emergency landing request was received from a fixed-wing aircraft, the two helicopters had to circle in place to make way for the fixed-wing aircraft to make an emergency landing.
Phil's mood became highly tense. While operating the helicopter to hover in place, he explained to Chen Feng: "Mr. Chen, if you want to take pictures, take them now. We have to hurry up. You see, the heavy fog is getting thicker in front of us."
The weather is getting denser and the visibility is getting lower and lower. We will wait for the fixed-wing aircraft to land, then K3971, and finally it will be our turn. Our time is very tight."
As he spoke, fine beads of sweat broke out on Phil's forehead.
He was also feeling emotional in his heart.
