Top Gun 1999

In the winter of 1947, when pilots He Huaide, Li Baoqi and others selected from the army arrived in Mudanjiang, Northeast China, the war situation had changed, and the aviation school had moved to northern Manchuria. He Huaide and others braved the wind and snow to catch up with the first team of the aviation school. When pushing the small train up the hill, they met He Min, a female health worker nicknamed "Little Pepper". The first team of the aviation school was established on a dilapidated airport abandoned by the Japanese. The living and learning conditions were very simple. Chang Hao and Liu Liqiu, the team captains who had learned to fly in the Xinjiang Air Force, led everyone to overcome various difficulties and organized the repair of the few broken training aircraft. Liu Liqiu sacrificed his life to cover Yao Jianye during a sneak attack by an enemy plane. The students began to study aviation theory. Since most of the students only had primary school education, it was difficult to learn aviation theory. In addition, the bandits burned down the oil depot of the aviation school. Li Baoqi lost confidence in flying and felt that it was not as satisfying as being an infantryman carrying a gun and fighting in a war. So he and two other students deserted to return to the old army. On the way, they encountered a group of bandits. One student was sacrificed in the battle, and they grabbed a cart of gasoline and returned to the aviation school. The hard training life began, assembling a trainer aircraft, and using alcohol instead of aviation gasoline. There were no primary instructor aircraft, and with the approval of the aviation school, a large group of students flew directly on the higher education aircraft, creating a precedent in the history of world aviation.
