Joining China Eastern, Starting with a Vertical Takeoff!

Lu Qingzhou transmigrated to a parallel world and became the youngest passenger-aircraft captain in Dongda’s history. His blunt, no-nonsense flying style made him every flight attendant’s worst nightmare. That earned him a famous nickname: the Devil Captain! On May 28, 2023, Xia Country’s domestically made C919 airliner made its first commercial flight. To everyone’s surprise, the young captain Lu Qingzhou was chosen to pilot its maiden flight. Major media outlets livestreamed the first commercial flight of the domestically made airliner to the world. The C919’s debut commercial flight drew widespread attention and captivated the world. But as millions watched in anticipation, the C919 lifted off and began climbing at an almost vertical angle. Was this really... a vertical takeoff from a standstill? After the plane reached its destination ahead of schedule, reporters interviewed the passengers on the maiden flight. Reporter: How did you feel about your first ride on the C919? Passenger 1: Blargh... (vomiting) Passenger 2: I didn’t feel much. It just felt like my body was still on the ground while my soul was already floating in the sky. Netizen: He dares to pull a vertical takeoff on the very first flight? Is our domestically made airliner’s technology too advanced, or is the captain just too reckless? Lu Qingzhou: Weren’t you the ones who asked me to show off the C919’s excellent performance? How’s that my fault?
