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

Goodbye, Warhawk! 6 "old flyers" bid farewell to the blue sky

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——

Goodbye, Warhawk! 6 "old flyers" bid farewell to the blue sky

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

Goodbye, Warhawk! 6 "old flyers" bid farewell to the blue sky

"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

Goodbye, Warhawk! 6 "old flyers" bid farewell to the blue sky

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

Goodbye, Warhawk! 6 "old flyers" bid farewell to the blue sky

"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

Goodbye, Warhawk! 6 "old flyers" bid farewell to the blue sky

At the ceremony

The brigade leadership and the pilot's family

They also laid flowers and took a group photo

Goodbye, Warhawk! 6 "old flyers" bid farewell to the blue sky

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, Warhawk! 6 "old flyers" bid farewell to the blue sky

Goodbye, old Fei

Glorious grounding, the soul of the army lives forever

If there is a war, it will be recalled

Goodbye, Warhawk! 6 "old flyers" bid farewell to the blue sky
