Looking back on the past, breaking through the clouds and fighting in the sky
Air heroes are mighty in all directions
Looking at the present day, the sideburns are slightly frosty, and the arrogance remains
Blue Sky Warriors have no regrets
On the morning of October 28
A certain brigade of air force aviation in the Eastern Theater
On the outfield tarmac
The 2022 Pilot Farewell Blue Sky and Grounding Ceremony was held
6 pilots who have reached the maximum safe flight years
Reluctantly bid farewell to the war eagle and the battle position——
At the ceremony, two war eagles were lined up
The officers and men were in high spirits
At 8:30, with an order from the host
The ceremony officially began
"Farewell to the fighters!"
The host's voice just fell
The 6 pilots wore blue flight suits
Shoulder draped with a ribbon of "glorious grounding"
The pace marched sonorously to the front of the fighter
After one circle
They saluted the war eagle solemnly
Say goodbye to the battle position
After saying goodbye to the War Eagles
6 "old flyers" handed over their flight helmets to the new pilots
This is a handover of missions
In their gaze
Conveying high expectations for young pilots
"3360 hours and 56 minutes,
5133 takeoffs and landings, 508 commands.
Looking back on 25 years of flying..."
At the ceremony, representatives of the grounded pilots
Say affectionately
From the first flight of the war eagle to the farewell to the blue sky
They use the maximum number of years of safe flight
The perfect answer sheet was handed over to the motherland and the people
Practice the oath of meritorious service to the blue sky with youth
At the ceremony
The brigade leadership and the pilot's family
They also laid flowers and took a group photo
Chase dreams and top guns
Say goodbye to the sky and write a new chapter
Grounded without stopping
Young pilots take over the mission and responsibility
Create new brilliance on a new journey
Goodbye, old Fei
Glorious grounding, the soul of the army lives forever
If there is a war, it will be recalled
