548: Chapter 544 An Embarrassingly Familiar Situation 548: Chapter 544 An Embarrassingly Familiar Situation Appearance doesn’t mean much, Gao Yang comforted himself as he reached out to Eileen Zepp Alleporg and said, “Hello Eileen, it’s nice to meet you.”
Eileen did not shake hands with Gao Yang but stood still and said indifferently, “We’re not that familiar, so you should call me Coach Alleporg.”
Surnames denote respect while first names tend to be more intimate, so Gao Yang used her first name, but after being bluntly rejected by Eileen Zepp Alleporg, he sheepishly withdrew his hand and said, “Alright, Coach Alleporg, can we start now?”
Eileen didn’t speak and walked past Gao Yang and the others, boarding the plane directly.
Gao Yang and Cui Bo exchanged a helpless look, then followed her onto the plane, with Gao Yang sitting in the co-pilot’s seat and Cui Bo directly behind him, so they could both see how Eileen was operating the aircraft.
The plane had already been prepared for takeoff; upon boarding, Gao Yang and Cui Bo promptly put on their communication headsets, but Eileen just draped her headset for listening to music around her neck and did not rush to put on the aviation communication headsets.
Instead, she took off her jacket and casually threw it into the back seat.
Eileen was wearing only a sleeveless vest underneath.
After she took off her M65 coat, her figure was fully revealed.
There was heating in the plane, but before the aircraft started, the heating hadn’t been turned on, so the cabin was still very cold.
However, Eileen seemed completely indifferent to the cold.
The sight of Eileen sans jacket instantly captivated Gao Yang and Cui Bo.
Eileen was busty; she had large breasts, but what really caught Gao Yang and Cui Bo’s attention were the muscles on Eileen’s body.
Eileen had a good figure, yet it wasn’t typically suited for a woman, because her muscles were too well-developed.
Gao Yang noted that the muscles on Eileen’s arms appeared even more defined than his own, and beneath the tight-fitting vest, her six-pack abs were conspicuously on display.
With a rugged appearance, somewhat masculine, and a physique sturdier than most men’s—arms and abs not thick but clearly defined in muscle mass, Eileen’s form seemed to lack a sense of beauty.
Apart from her muscles, the tattoos on Eileen’s body also amazed Gao Yang.
Indeed, Eileen had tattoos, and not just one.
Compared to the muscles, it was the tattoos on Eileen’s body that drew more attention.
On each upper arm, there was a tattoo: a skull on the left and on the right arm, above a crossed knife and ax, below which was a line of text that appeared to be in Latin, which Gao Yang couldn’t decipher.
Additionally, there was another tattoo behind her neck, part of a geometric pattern.
With her muscular body and tattoos, Eileen looked like someone not to be trifled with.
After staring at Eileen intently for a few moments, Gao Yang felt it impolite to continue and quickly averted his gaze, but whenever the chance arose, he still glanced over out of the corner of his eye.
After quickly checking the instruments with nimble hands and feet, Eileen soon started the plane.
Gao Yang finally couldn’t hold back and said, “I’m sorry, but shouldn’t you introduce us to the necessary checks that need to be done?”
Eileen turned to glance at Gao Yang, and since she never took off her sunglasses, Gao Yang couldn’t see her eyes, but he felt they bore an unfriendly look—anyway, that was his impression.
After quickly going over what instruments needed to be checked and what to pay attention to, Eileen swiftly took the plane to the skies.
Gao Yang always felt that Eileen’s teaching was too cursory and superficial; he had paid to learn how to fly, not to sightsee by plane.
Despite generally having a good temper, Gao Yang began to get somewhat angry, but he still restrained himself at first, hoping that after some communication, the other party would give him the respect he deserved.
“Miss Eileen Zepp Alleporg, we are here to learn how to pilot an aircraft, so please fulfill your responsibilities as our instructor,” he said.
Eileen glanced at Gao Yang with a slight smile after his remark, then said, “If there’s something you want to know, you can ask.”
Gao Yang always found Eileen’s smiles a bit malicious, but before he could speak up, he heard Cui Bo excitedly ask from behind him, “You have experience flying UH-60s, so what is the difference between military and civilian aircraft?
I mean, besides the equipment, is there a difference in the feel and method of flying?”
Eileen smiled again and said, “Want to know?”
Gao Yang felt that before they could learn to fly a plane, they were not yet at the point to consider the differences between military and civilian aircraft, but since Cui Bo had asked, Gao Yang followed up saying, “He’s already asked the question, so of course, we’d like to know.”
Eileen laughed but didn’t answer Gao Yang’s question.
Instead, she reached into her pocket with her left hand and pulled out a pack of cigarettes, took one out, put it in her mouth, then controlled the plane with her left hand while reaching into her pocket with her right, pulled out a lighter, struck it against her pant leg, and lit the cigarette in her mouth.
Gao Yang was finding it hard to hold back.
He frowned, but before he could blow up, Eileen exhaled a puff of smoke and said leisurely, “Do you know what I hate the most?”
Gao Yang and Cui Bo felt as if a hammer had struck their hearts.
Because Eileen had spoken in Mandarin, and had pronounced it perfectly.
Cui Bo was struck dumb, murmuring in shock, “I’ll be damned, this scenario feels awfully familiar.”
Gao Yang was equally struck dumb.
Then, he raised his hands and said to Eileen, “Sorry, it was a misunderstanding.
Please let me explain.
F**k, who knew Mandarin had become so widespread?
In any case, I apologize.
We were wrong.
If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us.
I offer you my sincere apologies.”
Eileen gave a cold smile and said, “Apologies?
Not necessary!
But I’ll tell you what I hate the most: I hate being called a tomboy, and even more, I hate being called dead shemale!”
Gao Yang was in despair, remembering a time when conversing in Mandarin with foreigners allowed him to say anything without fear of being understood, even cursing directly at them without worry.
But now, he and Cui Bo had merely spoken a few loud words in Mandarin and had been caught red-handed.
Gao Yang, with a look of deep regret, said, “Sorry, I’m truly sorry for offending you.
It was our fault.
What can we do to make you feel better?
I am willing to do anything to make amends for our rudeness.”
Eileen smiled faintly and said, “No need to apologize because we’re about to be even.
You wanted to know the difference between military and civilian helicopters, right?
Now I’m going to tell you.
Besides the differences in durability and equipment, there are differences in flight maneuvers as well.
For example, the rapid dive of a military chopper is like this!” (To be continued.
