The "post-90s" took up the post of flight commander

In winter, as the sun sets, another flight training session of an army air assault brigade comes to an end.

In the cabin, the "post-90s" captain instructor who completed the flight teaching task took off his helmet to Yue, revealing a vigorous face. On the tower platform, Xiao Yifei, a trainee commander of the "post-90s" who completed the flight command task, also showed a confident smile.

Although it was the first independent teaching flight, Xiang Yue was very calm. A new pilot's attention is misallocated, and deviation correction is always half a beat slower. Xiang Yue carefully guided and helped him correct irregular movements.

At the end of the flight, Xiang Yue meticulously organized the flight commentary and review discussion, and poured out his accumulated technical and tactical experience. Today, the young Xiang Yue is not only a skilled and excellent pilot of the brigade, but also a captain instructor who trains "treetop killers".

The moment he picked up the command microphone for the first time, Xiao Yifei knew how heavy the weight of the flight commander's post was. In the air, more than 10 fighters swooped and jumped, tossing and turning, and he stared at the screen and concentrated.

"Xiang Yue and Xiao Yifei are both young talents that we have cultivated independently." According to the leader of the brigade, in the past two years, there have been "post-90s" pilots who have obtained relevant qualifications, joined the ranks of flight commanders and captain instructors, and began to become the "protagonists" of the blue sky.

Xiang Yue and Xiao Yifei were young, and their units were equally young— an air assault force that came into being in the midst of deepening national defense and army reforms. "For the first time", it is never news here, and every take-off of a fighter is both a challenge and a pioneering one.

The evening wind whispered, and several more fighters returned from far and near. With a loud roar, the fighter planes landed smoothly, the pilots took off their helmets one by one, and the co-pilot was a young face. In the new annual flight training, the brigade pays more attention to the combination of old and new, new and old, to promote the rapid growth of young pilots.

On the busy airport, a group of "young eagles" are aiming at the future low-altitude battlefield to grow up, and their wings are gradually growing.
