Chapter 587 Do you want to experience the thrill of supersonic flight?
As the capital of Manus Province, Lorengo naturally has its own airport.
However, the airport is a bit far from Loren, more than twenty kilometers.
The airport in Lorengao is built at the easternmost end of Manus Island, and the airport runway is less than 100 meters away from the sea.
The airport is called Momot Airport. It was originally a field airport established by the Japanese who occupied Manus Island. Later, in 1944, the US-Australia coalition forces took six weeks to capture Lorengo and began to expand the field airport, and eventually expanded it into a large airport that can take off and land large long-range bombers. After Papua New Guinea's independence, the airport became a civilian airport for Lorengo.
Under the protection of a group of twelve bodyguards, Yang Jing flew back to Port Moresby from Momot Airport. Then, after meeting Guo Dabao from the branch and having a detailed discussion for half an afternoon, he took a direct flight to Manila after dinner.
If you want to get from Papua New Guinea to the Northern Mariana Islands, the most direct way is to fly directly to Saipan. However, there is no flight from Papua New Guinea to Saipan, so you can only fly to Manila, which is closest to Saipan, and then change flights from Manila to Saipan.
After five hours of flying in the air, it was already late at night when we arrived in Manila. After staying in a hotel that had been booked in advance for one night, the next morning, a group of thirteen people continued to take United Airlines flights to Saipan, 2,600 kilometers away.
It was afternoon when I arrived at Saipan. The weather was great and the visibility was very high. When the plane was hovering and descending, you could even see Guam about 200 kilometers south. Of course, you can see Tining and Song Song Island between Saipan and Guam more clearly.
Seeing that Yang Jing was paying close attention to the islands in the south, Chris, who was sitting next to Yang Jing, smiled and said, "BOSS, are you very interested in Guam?"
Yang Jing glanced at Chris beside him, nodded slightly and said, "I can't say I'm very interested. I just want to see the famous Apula Naval Base and Anderson Air Force Base, and see how this Guam base is intimidating the entire East Asia."
It seemed that he could hear the bad intentions in the boss's tone. Chris grabbed his hair and said, "BOSS, that base was made by those damn politicians, you..."
Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand to interrupt Chris, "Chris, I have no other meaning. Although I feel uncomfortable with the existence of the US military base in Guam, I also know that there is no way to do this. So, you don't need to explain, and I am not as petty as you imagine."
Chris looked frowning, as if he felt that the topic he mentioned just now was stupid. The boss is from Chinese. Now the relationship between China and the United States is so tense. The US military base in Guam is a sharp sword above China. It would be strange if the boss likes that place.
However, Chris is quite wise and as he thought about it, he suddenly slapped his head and said, "BOSS, do you want to sit on the active main fighter plane in the United States? Enjoy the pleasure of supersonic flight?"
Not to mention, Chris's words really surprised Yang Jing. "Why, can you let me ride F35 or F22?"
As soon as he heard this, Chris's face suddenly became bitter, "BOSS, don't joke, okay? Even if I can let you go to F35 or F22, where are you going to sit? These two fighter jets are single-seater..."
Yang Jing was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake. When talking about the advanced American fighter jets, the first thing he remembered was the famous F22 "Raptor", and then the most advanced and most expensive fifth-generation fighter jet F35. However, these two advanced fighters are single-seat fighters, and only one pilot is allowed to ride in it.
Even the carrier-based aircraft F18 "Hornet" is a single-seater twin-engine fighter.
Yang Jing smiled and shook his head and asked, "Okay, Chris, I'm wrong. So what model of the fighter you mentioned can take me to heaven?"
"It's the F15 Eagle fighter, or to be precise, the F15D two-seater trainer."
"Training machine..." Yang Jing was a little disappointed.
"BOSS, don't underestimate this is a trainer aircraft, but this trainer aircraft has all the combat capabilities and conformal fuel tank of the F15C fighter aircraft, which is not comparable to that of the old F15B trainer aircraft. Moreover, although the model of the F15 is a bit older, it is currently the main active fighter aircraft in the US Air Force. The F22 and F35 are advanced, but that thing is too expensive. The US Air Force does not have that much money to equip so many F22 and F35. And the F22 is not a fighter aircraft in the pure sense. To be precise, the F22 is a fighter bomber."
After Chris said this, Yang Jing understood the difference between F15 and F22. However, Yang Jing was also very curious about how Chris could allow an outsider to take such a plane.
But Yang Jing did not ask this question, because Yang Jing didn't believe that Chris could allow himself to enter Anderson Air Force Base and also allow himself to fly on F15 fighter jets, even trainer jets, unlikely.
In addition, the plane was about to land, so Yang Jing was even less interested in asking about this.
After landing safely at Koble International Airport in Saipan, Yang Jing felt very comfortable when he passed the gate and exited the terminal.
Saipan is located in the northern hemisphere. Although the latitude is relatively low, it is already January. Most parts of the northern hemisphere are winter. Even Saipan is the coolest time of the year at this time. It is much more comfortable than Lorengo and Mores in the south of the equator.
The hotel Yang Jing and his friends booked was Hyatt Hotel. Because Yang Jing booked a presidential suite and two executive suites, four cars that welcomed the hotel were already waiting outside after their flight arrived at the airport.
Yang Jing, accompanied by Chris and George Bruce, got into the extended Lincoln car, and the other bodyguards took the other three cars. However, the car John Bruno and Clark McCann took went elsewhere after leaving the airport.
The entire Mariana Islands are the overseas territory of the United States, and here all the documents in the United States are valid. As bodyguards, Chris and others have legal gun licenses, but after they arrived in Saipan, they did not bring weapons, so John Bruno and Clark McCann went to the nearby gun store to buy weapons.
"BOSS, if you want to go to Guam, it's best to let George be your guide." Chris, who was sitting opposite Yang Jing, suddenly said.
Yang Jing was also a little smiled. This guy still didn't give up.
"Chris, why is George? Can George let me take the F15 trainer plane?" Yang Jing asked a little disbelief. It is about twenty minutes away from the airport to the Hyatt Hotel. It is also idle, so why not just hang on.
"BOSS, if you really want to experience the feeling of flying in the F15 supersonic speed, this is not impossible." George Bruce on the other side said with certainty.
When he heard George's affirmation, Yang Jing's curiosity was completely aroused, "Tell me, if it's possible, I don't mind feeling the pleasure of a supersonic flight."
Chris smiled and explained, "BOSS, do you know where George served before joining the Delta Force?"
Yang Jing shook his head. He really didn't know about this. He was a member of the Delta Special Forces before retiring, while George and Clark were their teammates. Later, after retiring, he joined the security company together.
George said: "BOSS, my first stop in military service was Guam, and I was a pilot at Anderson Air Force Base. Later I was selected by Delta to join the Delta Force."
Chris added: "George's rank is the highest among us, Captain. Damn the Air Force, the rank is much higher than our Army."
George chuckled.
"The most important thing is that George has a good father! His father is now the major general supervisor of Anderson Air Force Base! I said George, you can make a better fortune based on your life experience, why did you join the Delta?"
George Bruce continued to laugh, but did not answer the question. Obviously, it was estimated that Chris and the others had asked George this question for more than a year, but George had not given a real answer.
Yang Jing was also a little shocked by George's background. This guy turned out to be a second-generation army! And his father was actually the major general manager of Anderson Air Force Base, and was in charge of all the fighter jets.
The importance of Anderson's strategic air base is self-evident. The 13th Air Force Command is located at this base. The highest officer of this base is US Air Force Samsung Lieutenant General. Under this lieutenant general, there are several major generals in charge of such work as combat, staff, logistics, etc.
Since George's father is an Air Force Major General, he is a big shot at Anderson Air Force Base.
"Well, George, this answer really surprised me. But even if your father is the major general supervisor of Anderson Air Force Base, it is unlikely that if you take outsiders to the base and take a trainer plane, right?"
Chris said: "BOSS, since I told you about this before, I'm sure you can get on the F15 trainer plane. In the past few years, whether we were at Blackwater International or Titans, as long as we came to Guam, George would definitely ask us to go around the sky..."
George smiled and said, "BOSS, if it is a real fighter, I'm afraid I can't do anything about it, but the trainer is really fine. The pilot training mission at Anderson Air Force Base happens to be one of the tasks my father is responsible for. Moreover, the airport where the trainer takes off and lands is not in Anderson Air Force Base, but in the northwest of the base, and there is also an airport of Guam Road and Air Force. That airport is usually nothing and is often used to train pilots."
After a pause, George continued: "BOSS, if you want to experience the pleasure of supersonic flight, there I can guarantee that you will fly around the sky on the F15D trainer plane, and I will be your pilot myself."
