空军招飞办主任自力牛大校自1992年以来,心中一直酝酿着一个创意:像培养体育苗子一样培养飞行员苗子。50～60年代,贺龙元帅非常重视国防体育,当时许多省、市、区都设置了滑翔学校,为广大青少年学习航空、早期培养飞行员打下基础。如今,空军许多将校军官都在那时的滑翔学校训练过。在美国,特别注重在青少年中普及航空知识,相当一批13～20岁的青少年受过航空知识教育和飞行训练,有着令同龄人羡慕的飞行纪录。美国飞行员就从这数万名飞行苗子中产生。 Director of the Air Force's Recruit and Operate Office Since the beginning of 1992, there has been a creative idea brewing in the hearts of all those who have trained pilots in the same way as developing physical education seedlings. In the 1950s and 1960s, Marshal He Long attached great importance to national defense sports. At that time, many provinces, cities and districts set up gliding schools to lay the foundation for the vast number of young people to study aviation and train early pilots. Today, many Air Force officers train their school gliders at that time. In the United States, special attention has been given to popularizing aviation knowledge among young people. A considerable number of young people aged 13 to 20 have been trained in aviation knowledge and flying and have a flight record envied by their peers. American pilots are born from tens of thousands of flying seedlings.
