Brother's Keeper. Joaquin De Torres
appears that your flight uncovered a few important details that they would like to discuss with you.”
“Discuss? With me?”
“That’s right. Some representatives from that command will be coming here to discuss your flight, the OPTICA footage, and the footage recorded from your wing camera. They will arrive sometime within the month, and they’ve asked that all intrusion flights be put on hold.” Tang nodded to the air marshal on his right who then spoke.
“Because the 41st is the only squadron with F-15s, you will conduct squadron training, focusing on defensive maneuvers and aerobatics with the F-15. It’s important that any of our pilots be able to answer any questions from the Americans concerning the aircraft’s handling and performance.”
“I agree, sir.”
“You can use the simulators, classrooms and hangers initially for this training. But then you will get to use the MPD.”
“MPD, sir?” asked Gao.
“Manual Pilotless Drone,” answered Tang. “It’s like a radio controlled plane that can be flown from the ground. Chen will actually sit in a simulator-type cockpit located in the new flight control hanger. “From take-off to maneuvers to landing, the modified F-15 will be in the hands of Chen although its cockpit will be empty. The live views using cameras embedded throughout the cockpit, body and wings are remotely beamed to Chen’s virtual cockpit and will give him all the real-time angles he needs to see all of you.” Tang looked at the members of his staff.
“Do we have anything else for these men?”
“No, sir,” several voiced while others shook their heads.
“Very well. You two are dismissed.”
“Thank you, sir!” both men said in unison. They took one step back and performed an about face towards the door.
“Captain Chen,” called Tang. Chen turned around.
“Yes, Colonel!”
“You must have done something amazing for the Americans to come out here for a visit.” The colonel’s lips formed into an admiring smile. “Don’t get into any trouble before they arrive.”
“I’ll personally make sure of that, Colonel!” blurted Gao to the laughing delight of the staff members.
