More than forty years have passed, and the scene of seeing a real plane for the first time as a child is still fresh in my memory. I remember it was an autumn morning, class was over, and the students were all active on the playground. Suddenly, I heard the roar from far and near in the sky.
I saw a helicopter flying very low, flying over the playground, flying over the grass in the far east of the railway, flying lower and lower.
"Plane, plane! It seems to be landing! Go, let's watch the plane! " I don't know which senior student screamed, and the students didn't even attend class. Bees rushed out of the school gate and chased the plane away.
I also followed my senior classmates through the residential building, across the railway and stumbled forward on the grass. I don't know how long I ran, but I finally saw the landing helicopter in front of an open lawn.
The pilot is very friendly. Seeing the children chasing after him, he greeted everyone warmly. Just tell everyone not to get too close to the plane, saying that the air billow rolled up when it takes off later will be very big, for fear of danger.
The plane stayed on the grass for a while, and it was about to take off. The propeller began to rotate rapidly and the plane slowly rose. The wind under the plane was so strong that the grass was blown close to the ground. We stood not far from the plane, and it was difficult to open our eyes.
The helicopter finally flew into the distance, and the students kept watching the plane disappear into the distant sky before they wanted to go back. It was already half past twelve when I got home.
Since then, I have seen planes several times before I was a minor, but all I saw were planes flying in the sky, so only that time was to see the plane at close range.
It was a few years ago that I first flew. Colleagues made an appointment to travel to Yunnan during the May Day Golden Week. On the way back, we all bought air tickets from Kunming to Beijing. I remember that trip. I forgot to bring my ID card. Before boarding the plane, I must take a snapshot near the airport and get a temporary boarding pass.
Before boarding the plane, you have to go through the security gate and carry out various security checks. You should take out your mobile phone, watch and keys and put them in the box prepared by the security personnel in advance. I thought the security check was too strict. Looking back now, I feel much more relaxed, at least I don't have to take off my shoes, and there are many fewer taboos than now.
We boarded the plane not long after passing the security check. As soon as the plane took off, the big screen began to talk about the common sense of safe flight, show you how to escape, and report the height of the plane from the ground from time to time. Some colleagues dare not close the porthole or even look out of the window after boarding the plane.
We took a Boeing airliner of China Southern Airlines. When we first took off, we felt a little uncomfortable. After the plane rose into the air, it was very smooth. It was a fine day, with no airflow and no bumps at all.
This is a large passenger plane, not full, and the seats in the back cabin are still empty. After the plane stabilized, a colleague and I went to the porthole next to the back seat and looked out.
The scenery outside is beautiful, which you will never experience on the ground: mountains, rivers, houses and roads are clearly visible, Yuan Ye is dark green, mist overflows under your wings, and white clouds flow under your feet, like beautiful scrolls.
This time I flew from Harbin to Weihai, because I had the experience of flying last time, so I was not worried. Daughter and son-in-law are young and not afraid. It's just that my wife is usually carsick. When she heard that she wanted to fly, she was very worried. She wouldn't have agreed to fly if she hadn't bought a plane ticket without her consent in advance.
As we booked the flight at 9: 40am online, we took a taxi to the airport at 7: 30am. When we arrived at the airport, it was not half past eight.
When we went to the ticket window to book tickets, we were told that the 9: 40 a.m. flight to Weihai had been cancelled a month earlier. The airport didn't inform us in advance, so we had to take the 4: 40 pm flight to Weihai. ..
My son-in-law failed to negotiate at the airport, so we had to book a plane ticket and wait for the afternoon flight at the airport-take a taxi from the airport to downtown, and go back and forth at least to 200 yuan. My wife didn't say anything, and we were not allowed to return to the city.
As soon as I went out, it was not smooth, and my wife inevitably began to complain: although online booking is cheap, it is just impossible to grasp. So are these two children. Young people are unreliable without saying hello in advance.
After passing the security check, our family began to rest and wait in the waiting hall. With nothing to do, we watched the plane take off and land at the airport outside in front of the glass window of the terminal. At noon, each of us simply ate a bowl of Master Kong instant noodles in the waiting room.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, boarding finally began. Our family packed our bags and boarded the flight to Weihai through the boarding gate.
My wife had a slight heart attack and quietly took a few quick-acting rescue pills before the plane took off. The son-in-law smelled a strong smell of medicine and asked me to know what was going on.
As soon as the plane took off, my wife sitting next to me held my hand tightly. I feel her palms are cold, and I can imagine the tension in her heart. Because of my high blood pressure, I was very uncomfortable at that time, but I still tried to pretend to be very calm, fearing that my wife would be more nervous when she saw it.
After the plane flew smoothly, my wife let go of her clenched hand and said that there was no feeling of motion sickness and seasickness. Flying is much better than taking a bus or taking a boat.
At this time, the flight attendants brought drinks and food to everyone, and their wives began to drink and eat food. From time to time, they looked out from the porthole, and there was no fear and tension when the plane took off. The son-in-law took out the DV machine and began to secretly photograph the scenery outside the plane through the porthole.
The plane is passing through the clouds, and nothing can be seen clearly outside the window. I saw the clouds outside the window diffuse and transpiration like smoke. After a while, the plane passed through the clouds, and a thick sea of clouds appeared under the plane.
Then look at the clouds under your feet. It's really spectacular! Vast, as vast as a silver ocean. The clouds are so plain that people feel refreshed, as if they were in the snowy area in the north.
As the plane continues to fly forward, the clouds are constantly changing their posture: the clouds in the distance begin to turn pale yellow and gradually merge together, and the area is getting bigger and bigger. At first glance, it looks like an autumn grassland. As the color turns yellow, it becomes a vast desert.
The clouds under your feet are getting more and more uneven, just like waves in a calm sea. The waves surged higher and higher and finally turned into huge waves. Later, the cloud has lost its posture of the sea and evolved into a snowy mountain, an Arctic glacier that will last for thousands of years.
The plane flew slowly over Weihai and began to descend through the clouds. The mountains, villages, roads and houses in the suburbs of Weihai are becoming clearer and clearer.
"Why, you arrived in Weihai so soon?" The wife asked.
"This is Weihai. Mom, do you think the plane is flying too fast? Aren't you afraid of airsickness? Why didn't you see you dizzy? " The daughter teased her wife and said.
"I don't know what's going on, I'm not dizzy today. I just sat for a while, but I haven't sat enough! " The wife said.
"Why don't we continue to sit and go to Guangzhou together?" Our plane is flying to Guangzhou, with a stopover in Weihai. I also teased my wife on purpose.
The plane began to slide slowly and finally landed at Weihai Airport. Look at the destination of the tour, our family is busy packing, getting off the plane and walking out of the airport waiting hall.
Outside the hall, the classmates and couples who learned that we were traveling had been waiting outside the door for a long time. A few commonplaces, we got on the bus together, and the car galloped away to downtown Weihai.
