The sudden change in weather meant that more fuel would be needed to deal with emergencies, and Li Lu couldn't take that risk.

There were three airports in front of him where he could land, but after calculating his remaining fuel and distance, Li Lu immediately reported to the East Command, "Calling 1111, I don't have enough fuel to fly around, I have to fly through the thunderstorm area and land directly."

Dong immediately replied, "100,000, the situation in the thunderstorm area is continuing to worsen, and crossing it is not feasible."

The commander and his staff were urgently searching for a solution.

The worst-case scenario is a forced landing.

The staff team at the East China Sea Command Post has begun searching for a suitable emergency landing site.

Li Lu stared at the large, dark, and haphazard cloud formation directly in front of him, his heartbeat steady as he calmly considered his options.

Crossing the thunderstorm zone was extremely risky, he had already seen that, because the large, dark, scraggly cloud was constantly changing, indicating that the crosswinds were very strong, and the occasional flashes of light were extremely sharp lightning.

The East Coast Command continues to report on the weather conditions ahead, noting that the crosswind level has completely exceeded the limits for normal aircraft operation.

As the distance closed, the fuselage of J-6 Modified No. 101 began to sway, and Li Lu had to strengthen his powerful arms and grip the control stick tightly in order to stabilize the flight attitude.

This is the outer edge of the thunderstorm zone.

Don't even mention that there's not enough fuel. Even if there were enough, flying into the thunderstorm area ahead would be like lighting a lantern in a latrine—asking for trouble (dying).

Li Lu looked down, searching for a place where he could make an emergency landing.

J-6 modified No. 101 completed its reconnaissance of the Kitty Hawk, and could even be said to have conducted a simulated penetration attack, which was of great significance. We must do everything we can to save the aircraft.

With this in mind, Li Lu gritted his teeth and asked the East Commander for instructions, "East Commander, 1001 is calling. I need to descend to find an emergency landing location. Repeat, I need to descend to find an emergency landing site."

Dong Zhi agreed without hesitation.

As Li Lu continued to descend, passing through the low-altitude clouds, he could finally see the ground below, with scattered buildings and mostly farmland.

In the late 1990s, Shanghai was in the initial stage of development, and the suburbs were not much different from those of other cities.

Suddenly, Li Lu saw a straight line appear on the right side of the beach. Based on his experience, he judged that it should be a runway.

However, there is no airport in this area; the nearest airport is in Hongqiao.

As the plane flew at low altitude, fuel consumption increased significantly. Li Lu didn't have time to think much. He steered the plane toward the straight line while reporting to the East Commander, "East Commander, there's a runway to my right. Check the distance and see which airport it is. I need to land there."

The East Command quickly checked, and the Commander replied, "Yaodongyao, there is no airport at your location..."

Suddenly, a staff officer stood up and reported, "Sir! Hudong Airport, that should be the Hudong Airport under construction."

The commander paused for a moment, then immediately checked the aeronautical chart and hurriedly replied to Li Lu, "Yaodong, what you're seeing is most likely Hudong Airport, but that airport is under construction!"

"To reiterate, Hudong Airport is under construction and does not yet meet the standards for guided landings."

Li Lu glanced at the remaining fuel, then at the thunderstorm cloud cluster rapidly moving towards the location of that straight line. He calmly said, "The thunderstorm area is moving rapidly towards Hudong Airport. I must make an emergency landing before it does."

The commander of the eastern command gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, be careful!"

He immediately ordered his staff, "Contact the Hudong Airport Construction Command immediately and order them to clear the runway as quickly as possible; a plane needs to make an emergency landing there!"

"yes!"

The East China Sea Command Center quickly implemented the plan to make an emergency landing at Pudong Airport.

Haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

When they build airports, they naturally know that aircraft must be aligned with the runway when taking off and landing, and that the fuselage axis must be consistent with the runway's direction.

Is it safe to land at such an angle?
