Indicate the greatest respect!
The tower controller just repeated the simple six words of the leader of the military region, but Chen Xu and the first officer of the military background were impressed and honored.
I was moved because of the attitude of the leaders of the military region. Such simple words are more important than Mount Tai;
The honor is because the military commander instructed himself to fly this Boeing 747 airliner to represent the military commander in the spring city, and more than 20 American Flying Tigers on board the aircraft, and more than 20 waiting in the airport The China Flying Tigers team paid the greatest respect among the pilots.
The huge sense of mission made the two pilots sit in jeopardy. Chen Xu ’s co-pilot with red eyes around looks at suddenly said to him: "No. 2, you are now in command!"
When the captain controls the aircraft, the second co-pilot has no control. His task is to do all the deputy main tasks assigned by the captain, such as retracting the flaps, controlling the throttle, opening or closing the landing gear However, once the captain said the words "you direct", the captain handed over the driving rights to the co-pilot on behalf of the captain.
The co-pilot didn't expect captain will suddenly give his driving rights to himself. He instinctively wants to refuse, but Chen Xu said very firmly again: "Again, you are now in charge."
The co-driver was staggered for three seconds, then immediately nodded solemnly and said with great excitement: "Understand, I will direct!"
Finally, the co-pilot immediately entered the state and said: "Tower, Air China CA turned two or three times, requested the altitude to drop to 300, and started flying around the field!"
The tower immediately replied: "Air China's two or three turns can be lowered to 300, Chuncheng Airport has cleared the space for you!"
The captain was excited, turned on the cabin radio, and said in skilled English: "Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished members of the Flying Tigers, here is the captain's broadcast. Thank you for taking the Air China charter. We are here to take on the mission of your China trip. Our aircraft is about to arrive at China Chuncheng Airport. We have just received a request from the Chuncheng Military Region. The airport has cleared the air for us. Our aircraft will be 300 meters, which is At a height of nearly 1,000 feet, the low-altitude round-the-clock flight was conducted five times to express the utmost respect of the China people to you. During the round-the-round flight, our aircraft will have a certain tilt. Please also buckle your seat belt. Landing after the end of the field. "
"Fly around the field ?!" The American Flying Tigers on the plane were particularly excited to hear the news, and the entire civil aviation airport was cleared in a short time, just to let the plane fly around at a low altitude. The China did indeed give They respected and valued beyond expectations.
They have never received such courtesy in the United States for so many years after the war. The American people do not understand the Asian battlefield of World War II. In addition, the United States has a lot of European descendants, so Americans pay attention to the European battlefield. It is much larger than the Asian battlefield. In the United States, World War II veteran although is very respected, but the most respected is the one who has been to the European battlefield. The most respected is the D-Day, which is Normandy log in, although. The Tigers didn't care about these, but they have been relatively neglected for so many years. Now they are so valued by the people of China and give them great comfort.
When Air China 747 descended to a height of 300 meters, this giant was already clearly visible from the ground.
More than twenty China old Flying Tigers sitting on a stool saw each of the large passenger planes with familiar shark mouth paintings start to lower their heights and stood up excitedly.
No one told them which plane the American pilots arrived in, but when they saw the mouth of the shark, everyone knew that it was coming!
The shark is here!
The Flying Tigers are here!
Old comrades are here!
These China Flying Tigers awaiting old multinational comrades can see such a spectacular and familiar scene at didn't expect, which is indeed a huge surprise.
This cartoon shark's mouth is of great significance to the American Flying Tigers, as well as the Flying Tigers of China.
The aircraft got closer and closer, and then did not land on the runway, but turned around not far from the end of the runway, tilted the fuselage, and began flying around the field.
The old Flying Tigers knew this too well. In the war years, the highest way respected by fighter pilots was to fly around the field at low altitude!
Old Flying Tigers of China nationality salute spontaneously and pay attention, their bodies can not help but turn with the hovering of the plane, always looking at the plane and the familiar, **** shark mouth.
A lap! Two laps! Three laps ...
These China veteran Flying Tigers have burst into tears, as if the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, as if the surrounding area is no longer a Hyundai / modern-based civil aviation airport but a simple military airport that year, as if the sky is not Hyundai / modern The civilized airliner, but the flying tiger fighter of that year, as if they were back in their twenties in an instant, as if the unique engine sound and whistling sound of the propeller plane sounded in their ears, as if they heard the long sound of the air defense warning, As if hearing the superior's expedition, the blend of history and Hyundai / modern made them tremble with excitement.
After five laps, the veterans shed tears no matter in the plane or on the ground. The 747 finally aimed at the runway. The huge passenger plane gradually descended in the air with its nose, as if it was a ferocious drilled out of the water. Shark, smooth landing, reverse thrust, deceleration, the plane exits the runway and enters the taxiway, taxiing towards the already prepared area.
The Yunnan Provincial Military Region coordinated with the Yunnan Provincial Armed Police Corps. The Chuncheng Airport Fire Squadron stationed at the airport for a long time sent six fire trucks to prepare for the two sides of the taxiway hundreds of meters away from the red carpet reception area. The aircraft was about to taxi. At the time, six fire trucks on both sides spouted high-pressure water columns to form three huge water gates. This is the extremely high etiquette of Hyundai / modern Aviation system. It is also to these old Americans who have made Joyo contributions for China. Flying Tigers members pay the utmost respect.
Veterans were surprised again.
Even their relatives feel incredible!
The low-altitude flying around the ground, the ground water gate greet, the etiquette given by China is really beyond everyone's expectations, no one expected that they would receive such a grand courtesy of China.
Across the window, the elderly and their families on the plane saw six fire truck roofs, standing saluting fire officers and soldiers. although did not know whether these officers and soldiers could see themselves, but the old people by the window were the first time Raise his right hand and return the salute to these young firefighters.
No matter how many hostilities and conflicts the two countries have experienced in recent years, it does not affect the respect of the young China soldiers for these veterans.
Li Mu, Liu Xinxin, and the military district representative, Chen Chengwu in casual wear stand at the forefront of the red carpet. Behind them are more than 20 China old Flying Tigers, their relatives, and more than 30 people beside them. Young men wearing black trousers and white shirts. These people are members of the Military Region Military Orchestra. This time they came with musical instruments and played as ritual music.
The Yunnan Provincial Military Region devoted a lot of effort to welcome this time, but considering that the Veterans Undead Charity Foundation is a non-governmental charitable organization, and inviting American veterans to come over is also a non-governmental exchange activity, it is not appropriate for officials to participate directly Therefore, it was arranged that Chen Chengwu and the members of the military orchestra were all dressed in plain clothes. The chief's consideration was very thorough. He was not worried about what trouble he caused himself. The main reason was that he did not want the veteran immortal charity foundation to be open to the public. There is official participation.
Private non-profit organizations should guarantee its purity. Under legitimate circumstances and reasonable circumstances, they can seek official help, but they cannot be influenced by the authorities. This is what the Chief Minister let Chen Chengwu bring to Li Mu and Liu Xinxin. His attitude is also his encouragement to the Veteran Undead Charity Foundation.
The plane passed through the three gates, slowed down, and finally stopped steadily in front of the horizontal red carpet. The ladder truck immediately opened and docked with the door. Then the flight attendant opened the door from the cabin.
The veterans had n’t even gotten off the plane, and Chen Chengwu waved his hand, and the more than 30 members of the military band in casual clothes immediately stood up and prepared their own instruments. A conductor went to the crowd and raised his hand. Ready to be ready at any time.
Finally, among the American Flying Tigers, the oldest Paul Crawford slowly walked out of the hatch with the help of his son and granddaughter. When he took the first step on the ladder In a moment, all the China old Flying Tigers honored the military salute, and the old man immediately stopped and raised his hand to salute the military salute.
At this time, the conductor of the military orchestra made a starting gesture, and the military orchestra played the most famous military song of the United States during World War II, "Old-Soldiers-Never-Die, They-Just-Fade-Away"
Douglas MacArthur, the famous General of World War II, quoted the title of the song in his farewell speech. The veteran never died, but gradually faded away.
The music sounded, and all the old Flying Tigers were filled with emotion.
This song is extremely familiar to Western veterans who experienced World War II, and it is no stranger to these Flying Tigers of China nationality. At that time, the American Flying Tigers, even Chennard often used phonographs to put this The first song, the overall cultural level of the China army at the time of although was very low, but the China soldiers who could participate in the Flying Tigers had a high cultural level. They had always been taught by Western instructors. English is a required course. English listening and speaking skills are excellent.
One by one old American Flying Tigers came down from the plane, Li Mu, Liu Xinxin and Chen Chengwu were at the forefront, bowing and shaking hands to every old Flying Tigers who got off the plane and welcomed them to China came to Spring City, and then, the volunteers guided these old American Flying Tigers one by one to the China Flying Tigers who had been waiting for a long time.
This group of American elderly people and China elderly people have been staring at each other for a long time. In the past 50 or 60 years, everyone's face has changed dramatically, and almost no one can recognize who the other person is.
Paul Crawford, who was at the forefront, started shaking hands with the first China Flying Tigers, the old Mr. Sun Xiaozhong, whom Li Mu personally visited. Then, Paul Crawford excitedly introduced himself: " Hello, my name is Paul Crawford. "
"Paul ?!" Elder Sun Xiaozhong asked him in English in surprise: "Are you really Paul?"
"It's me, are you?"
"I am xiaozhong, SunXiaoZhong!"
Paul Crawford hugged Sun Xiaozhong with an excited hand, and immediately howled and cried: "God! XiaoZhong! My friend! My brother! You are still alive! More than 50 years, I often will I dreamt that together with the help of the China villagers, we hid the footage from the Japanese soldiers ’search in the cellar. God knows how much I miss you all these years. I always think that the person I want to see again before death is you , didn't expect is really what you want! "
