“鲲鹏”托举凌云志 ——空军出动运-二〇运送新录取飞行学员报到侧记 ■袁守宇解放军报特约记者朱姜海记者李建文引擎轰鸣，声浪震耳。八一建军节前夕，一架架运-20国产大型运输机，在沈阳、石家庄、济南、南京、长沙、成都设置的6个登机点蓄势待发。机场停机坪上，战鹰列阵，军旗猎猎。胸戴大红花的新录取飞行学员，目光炯炯，身姿挺拔。今天，他们将搭乘“鲲鹏”，飞赴空军航空大学报到，开启逐梦空天的新征程。这是空军连续5年使用国产大型运输机运送新飞行学员入学报到，今年更添新意：首次使用换装新型国产发动机的运-20B参与执行此项任务。此举是人民空军装备发展与飞行人才培养同向并行的生动缩影。简朴庄重的迎新启航仪式在各登机点举行。专属的“奋飞号”登机牌，是空军赠予每名学员的强军信物，承载着期许，成为他们踏入军旅的珍贵纪念。舷梯旁，今年首次受邀的百余名学员家长代表，零距离见证了孩子们投身国防、逐梦长空的重要时刻，感受着新时代人民空军的飞速发展与强大实力。 “能够乘坐‘鲲鹏’到军校，是属于我们飞行学员的荣耀。”来自华北地区的学员边绍杰心潮澎湃。驾驶战鹰、守护山河的梦想，正被这国之重器稳稳托举，令他的自豪感油然而生，守护祖国万里空天的责任也愈发清晰。 “鲲鹏”腾空而起，刺破苍穹。万米高空，锦绣山河尽收眼底。一堂沉浸式思政课在云端开讲。机舱内，任务机组部分官兵与学员亲切交流，细数运-20参加演训备战、抢险救灾、国际援助的经历，讲述人民空军向战而行的奋飞历程。 “蓝天孕育英雄，飞行承载荣光。”赵机长通过广播寄语，“愿你们以赤子之心守护空天，以奋进姿态扛起强军使命。”他勉励学员们传承“空中拼刺刀”精神，永葆听党指挥的忠诚本色，践行矢志空天、为国奋飞的初心。学员们凝神聆听，目光投向舷窗外的辽阔空域。“国之重器托举梦想，祖国蓝天有我守护。”来自革命老区河北易县的学员赵俊话语坚定，“我们必须刻苦训练，早日成为捍卫领空的战斗员！” 以国之重器护送“雏鹰”启航，是空军创新铸魂育才、厚植家国情怀的重要举措。“鲲鹏”送飞，让新学员在入学之初就触摸空军转型脉动，他们将忠诚、使命、荣誉教育嵌入“第一课”，引导青年学子将个人理想融入强军伟业，筑牢铁心向党、矢志强军的思想根基。千里送“雏鹰”，逐梦向长空。平稳滑行后，一架架运-20依次停在长春某军用机场。舱门开启，空军航空大学官兵整齐列队，以庄重仪式迎接新一批空天新锐。作为空军飞行员的摇篮，空军航空大学赓续东北老航校红色血脉，八十载薪火相传、为战育人。如今，首批由运-20运送到校的学员已砺羽成才、奔赴战位，成长为新时代空中战斗员。胸怀凌云志，踏上军校热土，开启淬火成钢的新征程，学员们一边熟悉营区、参观陈列的功勋战机，一边回想“鲲鹏”护送他们的身影，心中的荣誉感、使命感、责任感愈发强烈。大家坚定表示，要以勤学精训锤炼胜战本领，用热血青春镌刻壮美航迹，扛起守护万里空天的重任。（解放军报石家庄8月1日电）

Summary

Machine summary

On August 1st, the Air Force used Y-20 large transport aircraft — including, for the first time, the Y-20B fitted with the new domestic WS-20 engine — to fly newly enrolled flight cadets from six staging cities (Shenyang, Shijiazhuang, Jinan, Nanjing, Changsha, and Chengdu) to the Air Force Aviation University in Changchun, marking the fifth consecutive year of this practice. The article documents a deliberate political-work format: the flight itself is framed as the cadets' first 思政课 (ideological-political education class), with crew members narrating the Y-20's operational history and officers invoking the 'aerial bayonet fighting' spirit to embed loyalty messaging before cadets reach the academy. The Y-20B's operational debut in this ceremonial role is the one concrete new data point; the framing of the aircraft as a 国之重器 ('great instrument of the nation') tying equipment modernization to personnel cultivation confirms a recurring Air Force public-messaging pattern rather than indicating a change in posture or readiness.
