Charlie took the watch and put it on his wrist. Vasily picked up a prepared parachute bag, pointed to a pull ring at the bottom, and introduced: “This is the cable for opening the umbrella. After the given altitude, you must pull out the parachute within 20 seconds, otherwise, it may be life-threatening.”
After that, he pointed to a switch on the right side of the parachute backpack and introduced: “This is for parachute cutting. If your parachute is not turned on or becomes entangled in the air after turning on, you can use this to release the parachute, and then The one on your left is the switch for the spare umbrella. After cutting the umbrella, you must turn on the spare umbrella immediately.”
Charlie nodded and said, “Okay, I will remember it. Open the main umbrella first. If something goes wrong, cut the main umbrella first and then open the second umbrella.”
“Yes.” Vasily said seriously: “If you don’t need me to parachute with you, then I will monitor your status in real-time, and then I will direct you to do every step of the operation.”
Charlie smiled slightly: “Okay, I didn’t jump over the umbrella, and I have no experience. With your guidance, it should be a lot smoother.”
Vasily nodded, patted his chest, and said, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade, I will do my best to provide you with all remote guidance at that time!”
Chester said at this time: “Master, the plane can take off at any time.”
Charlie asked him, “How long is the estimated flight time?”
Chester said: “The straight-line distance is only more than 100 kilometers. The plane can take off in five minutes, and it will be close to the destination 15 to 20 minutes after takeoff.”
“Okay.” Charlie nodded and said calmly: “Then get ready to take off!”
“OK, master!”
Chester walked into the cockpit, and after a few commands, the aircraft engine slowly started and pushed out from the hangar.
Immediately after that, the plane taxied all the way to the end of the runway, and then pushed forward with full force. Two minutes later, it rose into the air and drove straight over Syria.
After the plane entered Syrian airspace, Chester used a tablet to open a map of northwestern Syria and said to Charlie: “Master, it is cloudy today. Although the visibility is not high, it is still easy to be spotted by the other party during daylighting, so this time we booked The landing place is here.”
As he said, he pointed to a place on the screen, his fingertips drew a red circle on it, and then he drew an arrow pointing to a valley: “And here is your destination, and the distance of your landing Your destination is about five kilometers away. After you land on foot, it is safer.”
Charlie waved his hand: “It is originally a mountainous area with a straight-line distance of five kilometers. It would take two hills to cross. I don’t know how long it will take. Is there a better way?”
