“Because I’m happy, because I like it! I’m willing, I like pursuing excitement!” Harrison Clark suddenly asked out of nowhere, “Oh, by the way, how much does this helicopter cost?”
“If it’s the second-hand price, it is currently worth about 900,000 US dollars.”
Harrison Clark inexplicably sighed, “Oh! 900,000 dollars! 900,000! Sigh. It’s so cheap!”
After that, he fell silent.
Five seconds later, Phil quietly increased the speed of the helicopter, keeping it just below the maximum limit.
Before they knew it, five minutes had passed, and Harrison finally saw the shadow of KC3971 ahead.
The two helicopters were now 500 meters apart in a straight line, both following the same flight path.
Harrison said again, “Is there a discount if I buy two? 1.8 million US dollars?”
“No, Mr. Clark, you can’t buy two. Because this one is unique.”
That settled it, and Phil definitely wouldn’t dare to do anything reckless now.
Moving closer would be a serious violation, and he would be prosecuted, jailed, and have his license revoked, never to work in this industry again. The loss would be substantial.
Harrison stopped pressing when he realized upping the price wouldn’t work.
He just silently stared ahead, his heartbeat gradually quickening.
It was now morning, and the weather and the sunlight were completely different from another timeline when the air crash happened.
But Harrison intuitively felt that Rainer was in great danger, although he couldn’t predict exactly what would happen next.
So, although it seemed within reach, yet it also felt like another world, he didn’t know what to do.
As Phil said, it applied not only to Rainer but also to himself.
Once people leave the ground and fly in the air, many things change, and you can’t be completely whimsical about it.
After all, everyone knows that life and death on a plane hang in the balance.
Even Harrison himself was unsure, although he knew his physical fitness was extraordinary, he was still not very confident about surviving an air crash.
“Why are they hovering in place?” Thirty seconds later, Harrison curiously asked.
But this time, Phil didn’t respond to him. The communication device was ringing with instructions from their local control tower, reminding them to maintain a safe distance and not to get any closer.
It also informed them of the condition of the flight path and the landing runway.
Due to an emergency landing request from a fixed-wing aircraft, both helicopters were ordered to hover in place and vacate the landing path for the fixed-wing aircraft.
Phil’s mood became highly tense as he operated the helicopter to hover in place while explaining to Harrison, “Mr. Clark, if you want to take pictures, do it now. We are running out of time. You see, the fog ahead is getting thicker, and visibility is getting lower. After the fixed-wing aircraft lands, it will be KC3971’s turn, and finally ours. We are short on time.”
As he spoke, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Phil’s forehead.
He also sighed inwardly.
Making big money wasn’t easy after all.
Challenging such a situation with a pilot who had just met the flying standards for foggy weather was indeed thrilling.
After speaking, he focused intently, not daring to take any chances.
Meanwhile, he also occasionally observed the situation of KC3971, hoping to learn some valuable driving experience from the seasoned and experienced Seckley.
For Phil, this was both a challenge and an opportunity.
If he completed a perfect flight today, it would be a significant achievement in his personal records.
If he failed today…
Of course, it would be the end!
Worse still, the remaining 750,000 dollars hadn’t made it to his sister’s bank account, which would have been enough for his father’s medical treatment!
People’s potential is often forced out when they are in desperate situations.
As time ticked by, Phil never relaxed for a moment, and as he continued to learn from Seckley’s operations, he became more and more proficient.
He finally had the mind to chat, “Seckley is indeed deserving of his reputation as a renowned flight instructor in California, demonstrating textbook-perfect flight. He has an intimate knowledge of California’s geography. Every inch of the mountains in Casades County cannot escape his memory.”
Unknowingly, almost fifteen minutes had passed.
Phil said again, “Seckley is lowering his altitude, preparing to land.”
At the same time, he spoke to the two students beside him, “Watch Seckley’s operation closely. He accurately calculated the time for the flight path to reopen and made the landing movement in advance. This way, he can save about three minutes of landing time. The reason why so many billionaires are willing to be his loyal clients is his professionalism and punctuality.”
Just then, a tone sounded in Phil’s helicopter intercom.
After listening to it, Phil cursed, “Damn it! Another fixed-wing! They’re trying to kill me! Seckley has to lift again, too.”
Phil looked ahead, “Not good! His altitude is too low! He needs to ascend quickly! Phew, thank God, he should be able to clear the mountains ahead. Wait…according to his current speed, even if he clears the mountains, there’s still another one!”
Phil stared at the electronic communication radar before him.
The radar showed KC3971, and at the same time, the terrain warning system on Phil’s display showed contour lines.
Based on the prediction, it was very likely that KC3971 would crash into the second mountain range after crossing the first one..
