Chapter 5： forced landing

The body of the EP-3 electronic reconnaissance aircraft is a normal layout, with a cantilevered lower wing and a traditional aluminum alloy structure. Drives a 54H60-77 four-bladed constant-speed propeller. Because the engine power is sufficient, just like the bomber in the World War II era, one engine is often turned off when performing many tasks, which can save fuel and prolong the airborne time. If the weight of the aircraft, the weather, etc. are appropriate, even two The external engine will shut off.

Generally speaking, if the engine is turned off, the No. 1 engine on the left side is selected, because this is the only one of the four P-3 engines that does not have a generator, and there is no need to generate electricity for the electronic equipment on the machine. Without the exhaust, the EP-3 added an observation window to the port side of the aircraft.

Now, the observer on this EP-3 saw a thrilling scene. The opponent's fighter plane actually cut off a piece of his own wing!

If the engine is only cut, then after turning off the No. 1 engine, the plane can still be controlled and continue to fly. However, now that the wing has been cut off, the situation is completely different!

The lift provided by the left wing was insufficient, and the left side fell down suddenly, while the right side provided too much lift, which caused the right side to rise. In an instant, the huge EP-3 fuselage turned obviously sideways.

The pilot's eyes and hands were quick and he pressed the control panel to the right to get the plane right again. At this time, the altitude of the plane began to drop rapidly, with a high-frequency sound that cut through the air, making everyone in the cabin feel felt fear.

Is it about to crash?

"Steady, fast!" Ashes shouted loudly. Although he was the executive officer of this mission, he was not a pilot. Facing the sudden impact of the plane, he had no second chance except shouting. Method.

The pilot tried hard to stabilize the control panel. The EP-3 was still descending. If it continued like this, they would all have to enter the sea!

"Comeon, baby!" the pilot shouted, pulling the control panel back hard, and finally, at an altitude of 2,000 meters, the plane leveled off.

"Return, let's return immediately!" Ashes shouted. From the cockpit here, he could see the MiG-25 flying past with majesty, and the red five-pointed star on the vertical tail was so striking .

"No, our plane was hit and seriously damaged. We can only choose to make a forced landing, and we can't continue to fly for thousands of kilometers to return home!" the pilot shouted loudly.

A part of the left wing has fallen off. Although the plane is holding on now, it will not fly for long. The pilot can even imagine that as long as he makes a big angle of steering, the plane will definitely lose its balance and fall!

Can only choose forced landing!

However, if there is a forced landing, where can it be forced to land? This plane is not a seaplane! Only land forced landing! And the land near here belongs to the Soviets!

"No, you have to fly back!" Asius regained his previous stubbornness.

At this moment, a gust of cross wind blew, and suddenly, the whole body began to shake violently again, and everyone in the cabin exclaimed.

When Asius just shook, his body fell on the seat, and his face turned pale. If he was forcibly ordered to go back, he would only crash in the middle of it. There was no other choice but to make a forced landing!

Crash landing to where? There seems to be a Soviet military airport nearby, at least it must be on land first!

Sitting in the MiG-25's cabin, looking out through the narrow field of vision, Belenko was speechless for a while. Andre's action just now was definitely intentional! It's crazy to actually collide with the other party on the initiative, but the effect is not bad!

"Sokolovka, Sokolovka, 032 call, 032 collided with the interceptor target, the interceptor target lost its ability to fly, and is falling into our airspace." Andrei called the base on the radio: "Repeat , the intercepted target lost its ability to fly and is falling into our airspace."

There was an anti-aircraft missile position in front of him, and Andre was very worried that the American electronic reconnaissance plane would be beaten down by the anti-aircraft missile, and his hard work would be in vain.

"Continue to monitor, 032, report the damage to the plane." The voice of the ground came from the earphone.

"My plane is normal and can continue to fly. The interception target lost an engine and a wing." Andre reported in the radio: "Visually, we made an emergency landing at our base."

Belenko also flew a MiG-25 fighter jet and followed behind the American electronic reconnaissance plane, closely monitoring the other party's flight. From his side, he could see more clearly that the other party was flying crookedly and would crash at any time. Same.

In the EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane, the Americans are still worried about their lives. They have broken into the airspace of the Soviets. Will the Soviets shoot them down? You know, the Soviets' sense of sovereignty is quite high, and they dared to shoot down even a lost civil airliner, not to mention their real electronic reconnaissance aircraft.

And, what are the consequences of this? Will it lead to a world war?

He has already flown over the land, and he can see dense forests and villages in the distance. Their heights have fallen to one thousand meters!

Where is the place to land? Navigation equipment in the aircraft has been damaged, and now the target can only be found visually.

"Ahead, there is an airport ahead!" Asius saw a straight runway in the distance and shouted to the pilot. UU reading

There is indeed an airport in front! The pilot operated the plane and flew over staggeringly. He knew that he only had this chance! If missed, go-around is almost impossible.

Descend! The pilot pulled the control panel and wanted to descend along the standard glide line. Unfortunately, just as he moved, the plane was on the verge of losing control again and fell down like a big rock.

There was screaming in the cabin, eyes closed, and someone started to draw a cross on their chest.

Only the pilot is still working hard.

The wheel has been put down, the aircraft is not aligned with the runway, the main landing gear has already contacted the ground, the left one touches the ground first, then bounces back, touches the ground again, and rolls for tens of meters before leaving the runway. Going down and sliding onto the grass next to it, the pilot pressed the rudder with both feet. In standard operation, the two rudders have become the brakes of the wheel, and the body continued to rush forward, almost before rushing into the nearby woods, and finally stopped. down.

This is an unforgettable landing!

"Stop, get off the plane!" the pilot said, unfastening the seat belt, and about to run into the rear cabin.

"No, hurry up and destroy the electronic equipment on the plane!" After narrowly escaped death, Asius still remembered his responsibilities.

There are too many secrets on this plane. This is the most advanced electronic technology in the United States! Now in the hands of the Soviets, the Soviets will definitely dismantle this aircraft for research.

Nothing is left for the Soviets!

Unfortunately, as soon as Asius' voice fell, the Soviets' shouts came from outside: "Put down your weapons immediately and get out of the plane!"
