At an altitude of 12,000 meters, there was a sudden lack of fuel, and the Chinese pilot refused to parachute, creating a world miracle in 8 minutes

Piloting, this desirable profession, represents bravery, wisdom and responsibility. They soar between the blue sky and white clouds, and every flight is an exploration of the unknown and a challenge to life. When pilot Liang Wanjun faced a life-and-death decision at an altitude of 12,000 meters, his choice moved the whole world.

Liang Wanjun, an ordinary and extraordinary pilot. The trajectory of his life is like a legend, full of challenges and miracles. Since he was a child, he dreamed of being able to fly above the blue sky and feel the freedom of the wind passing through his fingers.

After graduating from high school, he resolutely chose the path of the Air Force recruitment, although he was thin and not amazing, but with his firm will and outstanding performance, he became the only student in the school who passed the physical examination, and since then he has started his flying career.

After entering the Air Force, Liang Wanjun gradually stood out with his excellent skills and calm judgment. In fact, the real test has just begun. In 1998, he joined the Chinese Air Force Test Flight Brigade and began more dangerous and challenging test flight work.

Test flights are very different from ordinary flights, and they need to fly the technical performance of the fighter to the limit to test the inadequacy of the design. Every test flight is a severe test of the pilot's technical and psychological qualities.

On July 1, 2004, it was a sunny day, the sky was clear, and it was a good time to fly. Liang Wanjun boarded the new fighter J10 for a test flight. When the plane climbed to an altitude of 12,000 meters, the accident happened suddenly.

The fuel load of the aircraft's power tank was rapidly decreasing, and the engines stopped working. Faced with this situation, Liang Wanjun did not panic, but analyzed the current situation very calmly.

The plane at this moment, like a metal block weighing tens of tons, begins to do a free-fall motion without power. Everyone believes that Liang Wanjun will choose to parachute to escape, after all, life is the most precious.

After a short period of thought, Liang Wanjun made an astonishing decision: to make an emergency landing and bring back this scientific research prototype worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

This choice is undoubtedly extremely dangerous. In the history of world aviation, there are very few successful cases of emergency landings of unpowered aircraft. Liang Wanjun needs to rely on the electrical energy stored in the battery to maintain the low-level operation of the aircraft's various systems, and to cooperate with the taxiing ability of the aircraft's wings to land.

This requires extremely high maneuvering skills and calm judgment. In the face of unknown danger, he did not flinch, but bravely pushed the joystick, adjusted the direction and angle of flight, and slid towards the airport runway.

During the forced landing, Liang Wanjun maintained close contact with the tower. They worked together to successfully adjust the angle and speed of the flight, and methodically completed the finishing touches before landing.

In the end, in the cheers of everyone, this scientific research fighter successfully landed. The whole process lasted eight minutes, but it felt like a century. In these eight minutes, Liang Wanjun has created a world miracle with his extraordinary skills and firm will.

When asked why he had to take his life back to the plane, Leung told a story about his father's love. "When life and death are at stake, people don't hesitate to keep what matters most," he said. ”

For him, this aircraft is not just a large piece of metal, it carries the hard work of countless scientific researchers and the expectations of the country. The life and death of an individual seems so insignificant in the face of the interests of the state.

Liang Wanjun's heroic deeds quickly spread throughout the country and even the world, and people admired his bravery and wisdom, and his name became the pride and example of the Chinese Air Force. His story inspires more young people to devote themselves to the flying career and contribute to the blue sky cause of their motherland.

Today, Liang Wanjun has become a banner of the Chinese Air Force, and his deeds will forever be recorded in history. His bravery and wisdom were not only reflected in those thrilling eight minutes, but also in his persistent pursuit of flying and his steadfast defense of national interests.
