General express delivery is transported by express companies, while fighter planes are used for air combat. But would you think it was outrageous if someone linked fighter planes with express delivery? Double Eleven is coming soon. Today, this article will tell a story about a fighter plane delivering express delivery. This fighter plane delivered medical equipment to a city 400 kilometers away in a straight line within 25 minutes and successfully saved a patient with cardiopulmonary failure. patient.
This is what happened on April 4, 2016. At that time, a patient in a hospital in a small city in northern Norway was in critical condition due to severe cardiopulmonary failure. If he wanted to save His life requires a medical device called the "Extracorporeal Membrane Pulmonary Combination Machine". This device can temporarily replace the heart and lungs to maintain the patient's life for the next treatment plan. Without this machine for support, The patient may not last more than 3 hours. However, none of the hospitals in this small town had such equipment. In desperation, the doctors had no choice but to ask hospitals in other cities, and finally found the equipment they needed in a hospital.

The required instruments are available, but since the straight-line distance between the two places is 400 kilometers, it is 700 kilometers by road. , ordinary ambulances simply cannot deliver the instruments in a short time, and at this time it is too late to even call a nearby helicopter for help. At this last moment, the doctor suddenly thought of a way. He called the Norwegian Air Force to explain the situation and asked if a fighter plane could be sent to transport the machine. After learning about the situation, the Norwegian Air Force quickly checked the flight plan of the air force base. There happened to be two F-16 fighter jets to conduct flight training, and one of them happened to carry an external storage bin, which could just fit this instrument. . (The picture below shows the external storage box carried by this fighter jet)
The local hospital handed over the equipment to the Air Force base personnel, so an F-16 fighter jet that was originally going to conduct routine training made a temporary guest appearance. The courier took off and accelerated towards the destination. This F-16 fighter jet is also very powerful. It took only 25 minutes to fly a distance that usually takes 35 minutes. After the fighter jet arrived, an ambulance waiting at the airport immediately sent the medical equipment to the hospital. Inside, the terminally ill patient was finally saved.

The patient in Norway was really lucky, because if the hospital had called the Norwegian Air Force a few minutes later, the F-16 fighter might have been took off, and under normal circumstances fighter aircraft are not allowed to carry external storage boxes during training. Fortunately, the hospital's unremitting efforts and the high efficiency of the Norwegian Air Force simultaneously saved the patient whose life was hanging by a thread, and also created a Miracle.

Military aircraft have also played other roles in helping to save patients. This has also happened in China. For example, on the afternoon of April 17, 2016, a plane was performing an air patrol. After receiving the order, the Navy Y-8 patrol aircraft on the mission rushed to Nansha Yongshu Island Airport and transferred three seriously ill workers to the 425 Hospital in Sanya, Hainan for treatment, thus buying time to save the patients' lives. Under normal circumstances, it takes about ten days to reach Sanya from Yongxing Island by sea. (The picture below shows the Y-8 aircraft arriving at Sanya Airport)
The difference is that the Norwegian Air Force transports medical equipment, while the Chinese Air Force directly helps patients transfer to hospitals, but the biggest similarity is that they are both serving the people Serve!
