Even Chen Fang was surprised when he heard this.
What's going on? Is there a domestic plane coming? When did it happen? Why don't you know? What else is the call sign? where are you?
Just when Chen Fang was at a loss, a member of the domestic engineering team ran up with a satellite phone. Seeing Chen Fang, he quickly handed over the satellite phone in his hand: "Mr. Chen, the domestic phone he just received..."
Chen Fang quickly picked up the phone. Before he could speak, he heard the urgent question on the phone: "is this Chen Fang from China National Offshore Engineering Bureau, deputy director Chen?"
"I'm Chen Fang!" Chen Fang replied quickly.
"Hello, deputy director Chen, I'm Zhou Chunming from the planning and Control Office of CAAC. According to your report, CAAC has deployed four civil aviation cargo planes. To cooperate with you in helping refugees.
The call signs of the four civil cargo aircraft are: nb233, nb666, nb886 and nb1314.
Please report the call sign to the air command system of the peacekeeping force as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary delay!
Chen Fang silently remembered the call signs of these cargo planes, and then asked anxiously, "when will these civil aviation passenger and cargo planes arrive?"
Zhou Chunming on the other side replied: "this afternoon, the first plane will arrive before 17:00 local time."
Li Chun nodded: "well, thank the motherland for its support."
Then hung up the phone and said to the more confused women, "the domestic plane is coming in the afternoon. It's up to you to decide whether you want to go back to your hometown or Australia."
The woman who had just knelt down and begged for Colonel curt fell into an awkward situation.
Other women are a little at a loss and don't know how to decide.
On the contrary, it was Colonel curt who sneered and said, "it's just a civil aviation cargo plane, Mr. Chen. As an engineer, I know you still don't know much about aircraft.
According to our professional judgment, the best aircraft to come here for support is military aircraft. "
After that, he ignored the expression of the people in the observation post, turned around and walked away with long legs.
After listening to this sentence, the women who ran over thought for a moment, and suddenly a woman called out: "Sir, we are Singaporeans. We immigrated from treasure island to Singapore five years ago, not from a big country in the East. Please take us away!"
Colonel curt, who had gone far away, did not answer. Instead, he raised his hand to the women, who ran all the way happily.
When Chen Fang and others saw this scene, their faces were extremely ugly. Even those ignorant women knew the difference between military aircraft and civil aircraft.
These elites selected from various units are not clear. Civil cargo aircraft are designed and produced according to civil standards, and the airports where they take off and land are all civil airports with complete facilities.
The question is, is there such an airport in East Timor?
The answer is obvious: no!
Not to mention the airport, there are few chicken farms.
How did Australia's C-130 come down?
Simply, the UN authorized the peacekeeping forces to temporarily requisition a piece of sugarcane field, which was then bulldozed by Chen Fang's engineering team and temporarily compacted by two rollers.
After that, Portugal's military air to ground Liaison Station for peacekeeping forces established an air to ground guidance system, which served as a temporary airport for UN peacekeeping forces and became an important transit station for refugees and freight.
In other words, the conditions of this airport in East Timor are not as good as the No. 6 temporary airport in J City, the first line of flood fighting in China.
At least No.6 temporary airport used to be the main airport for J-6 fighters to take off and land. Although it was abandoned due to the upgrading of equipment, at least the ground runway was reinforced concrete tower.
The only drawback is that it's a little short. After all, it won't take long to get to the airport where the J-6 fighters take off and land.
However, the temporary airport in East Timor does not even have a basic reinforced concrete runway. It is just an open space of sugarcane field compacted by road roller. It is a proper configuration of Field Airport.
Otherwise, Australia's C-130 would not be able to take off and land.
Because among the equipment systems of neighboring countries, only C-130 Hercules transport aircraft has the normal take-off and landing capability of field airports, and none of the rest can be counted as good.
In order to solve this problem, New Zealand, India and even Portugal will not be able to ask Australia to let them transit their refugees in Australia.
Just send civil aviation planes to East Timor to pick them up. The problem is that civil aviation cargo planes can't come down at all. How do you get it?
So we can't do without Australia.
But now, the domestic faction is still civil aviation cargo plane, which inevitably worries Chen Fang and others.
How did the voyage of more than 4000 kilometers come to us? The question is how did it come to us?
This is not only Chen Fang's idea, but also that of Ke te Shang who left. It's just different from Chen Fang and others who are worried.He's really happy. Isn't that a great thing?
A big country in the east came to the civil aviation cargo plane. After a turn, it was found that it couldn't fall down. Let's see who was losing face.
Or is it just one of the five hooligans who, as a result, try their best to send a plane, even landing is a problem, if this is spread out, it will be shameful to go to a good hometown?
When the civil aviation and cargo planes of a big eastern country are in a hurry to make a circle in the sky, let the Australian Air Force's C-130 take off and land several times to make a comparison.
The image of Australia will fly soon?
At that time, Australia's influence will not only be one third of Southeast Asia, but also one of the best in Asia.
For a while, curt was also full of emotion. It can be imagined that after the end of this mission, as a specific executive, he could at least enter the rank of brigadier general after returning home.
In a few years, major general, those are all small problems.
Just because of this, as soon as Col. curt, who left the engineering team of a big country in the East, returned to his station, he gave an order to the airport at the front line:
move all the two C-130 transport planes left at the airport to one side of the runway, and let out the whole soil runway.
With the invitation of New Zealand officers came to the airport, facing only 1200 meters of soft soil runway, ready to see how the CAAC cargo plane is operated!
It's not that we in Australia didn't help you. Some big country in the East gave way to the runway. Did you come down?
If you can't fall down, it depends on how we laugh at a big country in the East!
When Chen Fang and others came to the airport, they saw this scene. Naturally, the atmosphere was not good.
But they have nothing to do, because they have been told in China that there are no military aircraft but civil cargo aircraft.
What can we do?
As a result, when people were expecting, laughing, or at a loss, the English symbol of a large Eastern civil aviation cargo plane came from the temporary air to ground communication system: "nb-233 is about to arrive, ready to land!"
The Portuguese officer in charge of airport coordination immediately responded: "the runway has been cleared and can land But nb-233, can your civil aviation cargo plane land on the soil field runway? "
Nb-233 didn't even have a moment's silence, so a confident voice came over the radio: "we can't land. What are we doing here! Is it disgraceful? "
The voice did not fall, a burst of engine roar, came from the distance, immediately a blue gray large-scale four engine large transport aircraft, to dive down the posture of fierce.
Before people could react, the landing gear of the civil cargo plane with the body painted with the words "China's take-off" had been pressed into the soil on the field runway, and then a cloud of dust was raised in the dumbfounded eyes of curt and others
When the Portuguese officer in charge of guidance saw this scene, he couldn't help exclaiming: "this is Civil aviation freighter:
