近日，在澳大利亚布里斯班音乐节上，一架F/A-18“超级大黄蜂”战斗机开着加力从城市中间呼啸而过。
WASHINGTON -- President Joe Biden postponed a trip to Colorado on Monday to stay in Washington and focus on the growing conflict in the Middle East, setting aside an opportunity to pitch his economic accomplishments as he runs for reelection.Biden had been heading to the district of Rep. Lauren Boebert, where he was to visit CS Wind, the world's largest facility for wind tower manufacturing. But the White House said just a few hours before Biden was set to take off for the trip that it would be rescheduled. Instead, Biden is expected to hold a series of high-level meetings with aides on Israel and the growing humanitarian concerns in Gaza. The Democratic president is weighing a decision to visit the region in what would be a striking symbol of support for Israel following the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that killed more than 1,400 Israelis. More than 2,300 Palestinians have died in the ensuing Israeli bombardment of Gaza, which is bracing for a ground invasion. At least 30 U.S. citizens have also died, and 13 remain missing, the State Department says.It’s rare for presidential travel, which is meticulously planned for security and logistical purposes, to be called off at the last minute. Biden's decision reflects the competing pressure that he faces as he tries to manage bloody conflicts in Ukraine, where the Russian invasion is in its second year, and now the Middle East, always one of the world's most combustible regions. There are concerns that a second front could open in Israel's north, which neighbors the Hezbollah-controlled territory in Lebanon's south. There have already been reports of sporadic fighting along the border. Iran backs both Hamas and Hezbollah. Two U.S. aircraft carrier strike groups have been dispatched to the Eastern Mediterranean in an effort to deter a widening war.Domestic and foreign policy priorities have collided for Biden before.He was scheduled to visit Papua New Guinea and Australia after attending the Group of Seven meeting in Japan earlier this year, but the two stops were scrubbed because of the standoff over the debt ceiling back in Washington. Rather than deepening ties with countries in the Indo-Pacific region, Biden jetted home to hash out a deal with Republicans to prevent a first-ever default. The change in Monday's schedule costs Biden a chance to turn Boebert into a political foil as he showcases the Inflation Reduction Act, his signature domestic legislation and the source of hundreds of billions of dollars for clean energy incentives.Boebert has called the law “a massive failure” that “needs to be repealed.” But Biden was planning to demonstrate otherwise when he visits CS Wind in the town of Pueblo. The company is undergoing a $200 million expansion that is expected to create 850 jobs by 2026 with help from the tax benefits in the law.Pueblo is one of the anchors of Colorado's sprawling 3rd Congressional District, which covers more ground than Pennsylvania. Boebert won her seat in 2020 and barely held on to it during the 2022 midterms. There's maximum chaos in Congress right now for House Republicans, who ousted Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California as their speaker but have been unable to settle on a replacement. Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, a prominent ally of Donald Trump, is the current leading candidate to replace McCarthy, but victory for him is uncertain. Despite low unemployment and slowing inflation, Biden has been struggling to convince Americans that his policies are good for the U.S. economy.An August poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research said just 36% of U.S. adults approve of Biden's handling of the economy, roughly where his numbers have stood for a year and a half. The president and other top administration officials have been traveling the country to promote their Investing in America agenda. Last week, the president visited a marine terminal in Philadelphia, where he announced that the area would become one of seven regional hubs for producing and delivering hydrogen fuel.“I truly believe this country is about to take off," Biden said. "For the first time in a long time we’re actually investing in America.”。在长焦镜头的压缩下，这一画面变得尤为紧张刺激。战斗机在城市中间飞行并不少见。在一些国家的节日庆典上，主办方常常邀请空军进行低空飞行和空中展示，借此将节日气氛推向高潮。
B | 这样的表演通常在空旷的场地上空进行，而布里斯班市的这次表演显然更为大胆、刺激。当F/A-18“超级大黄蜂”战斗机庞大的机体从城市楼宇间以极高的速度低空飞过时，巨大的轰鸣声和极快的速度给观看者留下强烈的感官体验。
C | 也有人被这样的场景惊吓到。美国一些民众认为这一幕很像“9·11”，隔空喊话澳大利亚民众“不要这么玩了”。
D | 显然，“布里斯班的澳大利亚皇家空军空中飞行表演画面吓坏美国观众。”澳大利亚媒体如此报道。美国空军飞行员还向民众“保证”：“这种‘场面’在美国永远不会发生。”有趣的是，邀请战斗机在节日庆典上表演的“始作俑者”，正是美国人。美国“雷鸟”飞行表演队穿越弗吉尼亚市的地标性建筑金门大桥的画面常常被美国空军对外展示，F-35战斗机的身影也不时出现在城市上空。事实上，在空旷的水域上空或城市上空进行飞行表演，其技术难度对于现代战机来说几乎为零。F/A-18“超级大黄蜂”战斗机在楼宇间的飞行照引爆人们的眼球，展现出娴熟的飞行技巧和较强的技战术性能。实际上，该机作为一款舰载机，具备良好的低空、低速性能以及较强的机动性，如此才能在狭窄的水泥丛林中飞行自如。否则，一不小心将会是机毁人亡的不堪结局。
