They do this so that French planes can use American carriers and American planes can use French carrier if necessary during war. They have identical flight crews and operations so that it all works the same.
french areonaval pilots train in the usa to thave their flightwings. It means that they can fly on US naval airforce or french naval airforce. They have exactly the same training and they receive the US flight wings medal at the end o their training in the USA !
@@koc988 as a French citizen I do agree with you 😅 thankfully our next aircraft carrier (2035/40) will be much bigger, as big as US ones for the new generation fighters
I'd like to point out to my fellow American viewers who might also be interested in joint US-French capabilities that a fair amount of French Navy pilots trainees are required as part of their flight certification course to train and live at NAS Meridian in MS for months to get qualified on US Navy processes and flying T-45s. Failing to do so will not certify them to fly under French Navy. Goes to show how important it is for French Navy to be as perfect as they can be in interoperability with the US Navy. This joint training has been around for decades and is rightfully so prided by all French Navy personnel. So you can imagine that these Rafales pilots landing on US carriers feel a bit like going home in a certain way. This is unheard of even in Europe we don't have this level of cooperation. FYI, F/A-18s are also routinely landing on Charles-de-Gaulle aircraft Carrier since it's been built to be fully interoperable with US hardware. Cheers from France folks.
they needed to train on US carrier because they have renewed the french carriers during 1 year. it's like a new carrier at mid life. they must train often to be able to land on carrier.
What I was thinking is considering the size of the Charles de Gaule it must have been a peace of cake for the French pilot to land on the USS George H.W Bush. 🤔
I think it was a real good experience for the french people, not just the pilots, (who are use to train with the US carriers), but think that they were 300 personnels on board, and it should have been a marvelous trip specially for them.....and not just because everything are twice bigger than on the "Charles de Gaulle), but also cause they were on same operations in the middle east, so , now they could see the people and equipment, they worked with, for real.....
And very unprofessional to boot. The story was supposed to be about the French Navy being on board to conduct joint exercises but instead she mostly made the story out to be about the USS Bush itself. She just rehashed the same story that we've seen a million times about aircraft carrier operations instead of focusing on the unique mission itself.

Why do the American news channels not let the French speak? All we hear is “your carriers are huge” it makes it sound like the French have never seen a carrier before. The French navy has carriers!!!
Yes absolutely the Charles de Gaulle, it's the only one but I really hope that my president decide to build another one. We can't take the risk to don't have a carrier during 6 month because the Charles de Gaulle is in review.
US and France are the ONLY 2 countries in the world operating Nuclear CATOBAR Aircraft Carrier making these 2 navies somewhat sisters. For reference, Carriers operated by other NATO nations (i.e., Italy, UK, Spain, and Turkey) are/will be all Conventional STOVL Aircraft Carrier closer to Landing Helicopter Dock (LHD).
What is the point lmao. For example, the UK has 2, yes 2 aircraft carriers. It is not nuclear-powered (some very big advantages in being non-nuclear BTW) or CATOBAR but that ensures that the UK does not experience a void in carrier capability every time an aircraft carrier goes into maintenance or a refit, like the french are experiencing right now with the De Gaulle. France wanted their carrier to be like one of the americans' and that ended up so darn expensive they could only afford one. They could've emulated some of the sensible choices the british made and they could have had 2 carriers as well.
Mario DeLaurie but france has 5 others carriers helicopters + landing troops and projection force very modern we don't need always the aircraft carrier. It ´s the same price than 1 nuclear carrier.
So they send a journalist to talk about the join operation between the US and French navy but all we got instead was a report on the carrier itself and how great America is... Bravo
France is the 3rd nuclear power in the world. France is the first military independent country in Europe (Yes, UK has volontary reduced everything and rely completly on the USA, something that France has always refused to do). France is the country with the most overseas territories and the largest sea domain in the world! Don't think french territories are only in France, we have territories everywhere even in Asia!!!
@@rodmaxwell4191 Totally right... UK for greedy or economical reasons preferredd to choose the US vectors for their nukes, then their nuke deterrence is not independent from USA...

"For the french visitors it's a chance to sharpens their skills with the best" typical american arrogance when you know that french pilots are "at least" as skilled as americans ! Actually those trainings are a chance for both to improve interopperability for future conflicts !
Fun fact the Charles de Gaulle is smaller than the USS George H.W. Bush. So it's actually easier for french pilot to land their plane on a bigger aircraft carrier. And if you look at american pilot training on the Charles de Gaulle, they struggle to land and often take the third or second cable, after several times ;). ( they all succeeded obviously otherwise they'll land in water lul) Edit:ruclips.net/video/qOIhKtvWQYU/видео.html Check this out I don't know but it seem like it's a qualification to be a uss navy pilot, idk
The presidents of our two nations come and go, we do not always agree with each other, like all good friends, but at the end of the day, we are allied with the same values!
May I just say that I'm quite sad that you've cut the french officer in the middle of his speech just as he said "your carriers are huge" while it's pretty obvious he was about to continue to speak... :/
This is not true! Years before this, the French intergrated into an American air wing aboard the Theodore Roosevelt during a refit on the Charles deGaulle. Nothing new. How could they miss that?
Seeing this video I add the most important for you in the USA: Without the "Royale", the French navy so, which then defeated the English Royal Navy, which behaved before this defeat as a true dictator of the seas for the benefit of the economy and the interests of England (in the 18th century, finally in peace with its European neighbors for more than 20 years, France under the will of King Louis XV had been able to put a lot of its means to build a navy as powerful as that of England, the only Navy in the world at that time able to beat the Royal Navy), never without doubts the USA would exist today as an independent republic, or at least never since 1776. The French Navy is also very closely linked by facts to the History of the USA, it is even the most important military player which ultimately allowed the creation of your free Republic.
J'ai lu un livre sur la bataille de Yorktown quand j'avais 15 ans et à 40 ans j'étais en Afghanistan aux côtés des forces américaines sur la base Morales-Frazier (Kapisa) en 2011. Frères d'armes comme nos anciens....
« Training with the best” I love how she completely forget that one French pilot usually do the job of 3-4 American pilot since we have an omnirole aircraft, much superior than the one operated on american carrier... anyway, I’m glad to see that even if we have our beef some times, our military are still supporting each other...
heu la tu dis un peu n'importe quoi... va revoir ta copie le F18 a à peu prés les mêmes capacités opérationnelles... ils ont le même cahier des charges et les mêmes spécifications... le seul secteur ou le rafale est supérieur c'est l'emport d'arme... pour le reste c'est quasiment pareil.
@Shaun Mclaren the rafale is a 4.5 th generation omnirole. It is the top of its generation fighter. Be objectiv. The difference with a 5 th generation is the stealthy . Rafale has an electronic stealth (Spectra ) system but not a complete stealth frame. It ´s 75 % composite exterior and 40 % interior frame . A 5 th generation is 90 % composite exterior and 70 % interior
she says " with the best " because the US pilots are among the best in the world and that's true. It doesn't mean that french pilots are inferior. In general the nato's pilot have all a very good level
@@stephen10. yep indeed, in fact my comment was more about the fact that, considering the relatively smaller size of our means, we are still able to deliver more or less the same level of payload to the enemy, with the same or even slightly higher efficiency...
of course the US are among the best in the world and they have a very good level. Even french naval pilots go in usa to have their naval wings and to pilot'on CDG
Since the Brazilian Navy announced the disarmament of the aircraft carrier NAe São Paulo (ex-French aircraft carruer-Foch) in 2017, only two nations are capable, in 2020, of catapulting aircraft. These are the United States with the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and France with the Charles de Gaulle. By 2025 France will obtain a new 75,000-tonne aircraft carrier that will allow France to be the 2nd nation to benefit from the largest aircraft carrier behind the USA and their Nimitz classes.
@@Sy-cc3rv I checked and its going to be a 70,000 tonnes, not 75,000. And it would jump ahead of the QE class carriers. Although it won't be ready until 2038 at the earliest, not 2025. It would be the second biggest aircraft carrier class in the world after the Nimitz and Ford class. Yo no se porque.
This all thing was about saying "America better we have big ships look at us" "Training with the best" ? Yeah american pilots are good but how are they better than French pilots ? They use different planes and equipment...
@Ladey Babey how does bigger mean better ? and france has the best military record of any country and was in wars before america even existed, including one that gave the US their independence... not saying France is better, just that america is not "the best"
Ironically the Revolutionary War was won thanks to the French Navy that blocked the British Navy from resupplying British Troops...helping to weaken Cornwallis and his Southern Troops. Nice to see old friends working together again.
@@MBB563 It's true but it wasn't just the blockade the battle of the Chesapeake clear the English out completely. And now it's operation Chesapeake great name for the historical connection.

This young french aristocrat had a forward spirit and loved the US poeple and their ideas. It was sincere behavior . He has contribute to the idea for the french revolution in 1789 ! french poeple had seen the consequences of your freedom and wanted the same thing in france ...
Wow-- talk about multi-national strike groups and cooperation! Soon, the Queen Elizabeth will deploy with a Marine F-35 unit and it won't be long perhaps for a French squadron to deploy on an American carrier. That's interoperability!
France will always be a close brother in arms to the usa. I just hope our two nations will never be enemies. I would rather have France have our back the same for the usa for France.
I rented rooms to pilots from all over Europe a few years ago; the training and licensing in the USA is cheaper here than in Europe and I believe it is superior to the training in Europe as well; I worked with pilots from Czech Republic, France, Belgium, Germany and the U.K. They take all their lessons AND exams in English AND their native language (Both); highly intelligent!!!
France uses 200 naval aeronautics aircraft divided into 15 flotillas and 3 squadrons, or 4000 sailors, anchored in 4 aeronautical bases. France has 4 nuclear ballistic missile submarines, 6 nuclear attack submarines
It's not really rare. British RAF was training in the spanish aircraft years ago because they did not have the new one and they used the same kind of planes, Harrier. If some people are thinking in a british-spanish war they are wrong, really wrong. That's why NATO exists: for defense purposes and make one army (i was several yeras a go a former spanish marine and we were training always with NATO forces. You can see now, for example, Naval Task Forces, spanish too, in front of Siria or close to Russia with spannisn Eurofighters in Baltican republics, etc)
It's not vet rare with air force but with navies, it's much lesss commun, the marine national and the brazilian navy (because they bought a french carrier) are the only one to have the same standards for their catapults so it's a fairly rare exercise.
I would like to have a Catobar in our "aircraft", but it's very expensive (even UK with the new aircraft too) In NATO ships (integrated forces) it's not strange; US Osprey landing on spanish aircraft ruclips.net/video/Y-v7_gvGA-Q/видео.html or the full integration from years ago between Spanish Armada and the US Navy with the AEGIS system in the east Mediterranean (Syria) or with ships and spanish F-18 and Eurofighters close to North-east Russia.

I find it interesting that us and french carrier launch catapult systems are compatible. Im curious if a Superhornet could take off from the French Carrier. Its a bigger heavier jet than the French Rafale
@@Knightfang1 the Americans have a great experience and a very unique and advanced technology for catapult. Unless I am wrong, the French intend to use the new magnetic system used on the Ford class for their future carrier.
@@ericroger926 now that i think about it, it makes sense for all NATO Naval fighters to use a standardized launch system so they can work together. I just didn’t realize the french carrier used the exact same catapult as the Nimitz Class. The Electro magnetic system will become standard in the decades ahead for several reasons, but mainly because of many drone aircraft being too light for the steam catapult’s minimum settings
It wasn't the first time. The French Navy has done this a couple of times in past years. That's what you have to do when you only have one carrier. Get your facts straight.
Again, WTF are you talking about? Nothing to do with my comment. I guess you are just one of those idiots looking for an argument regardless of facts or logic.
Only landing with Rafale, never all the crew (mecanics and deck crew) for litteraly operate Rafale from the US carrier. It's the first time for a full operationnal deployment.
Why does the US allow French pilots on a US carrier. In 1986 when 25 F-111 took off from a UK base to bomb Libyia the US asked the French gov for permission to fly over France to cut the distance in half the French gov said no.
At least, they respected this decision. Smaller Malta also said no, and yet its air space was violated by Big Boss's planes. Because small. Talion's law, and the law of the strongest are against the Charter of UNO in theory, and the USA failed to back their operation by any article of the Charter about auto-defence (because of lack of evidences or disdain for the world organization). UK's Prime Minister said yes and this led to heavy domestic criticisms afterwards, a proof that saying yes was not so evident I presume.
@@rjbmarchiac8693 Libia was responsable for the downing of a 747 Pan Am plane over Scotland. Maybe France should build more aircraft carriers and not rely on US carriers. If it happened over France they would have reacted differently.
The USA did the same in 1956 against uk + france+ israel for Suez chanel crisis in Egypt . We wanted to reconquer Suez chanel (france has built it and managed it) in Egypt and the USA + Russia threatened France,Uk and wanted that we stop to attack Egypt. The USA have threatened France to stop to attack Egypt, If France wanted to reconquer our SUEz chanel , it was not the business of the USA ! We have been forced to let SUEZ Chanel to Egypt because of the USA... You had not helped us. You see all is not perfect between USA and France or the others allieds.

Long live to the US! Vive la France! When American pilots landed on the French aircraft carrier C. De Gaulle few months later, they were amazed: "God, they have a bakery on their carrier with daily Fresh baguette, croissants, etc... " And they have wine too; it's good for the moral :) Just an additional note: France has only 4 aircraft carriers but universities are free; education for everyone whatever their income, before the military.
Les americains ont les portes avions et les moyens qu'il faut pour les deployer n'importe où dans les zones du monde en cas de conflits et la France a les avions qu'il leur faut pour les soutenirs dans n'importe quelle missions avions ommirole qui peut aussi se poser sur un porte avion contrairement à l'eurofighter et grippen Pour cela l'us army ont voulus que les pilotes et les marins francais font cette formation pour pouvoir plus facilement s'adapter et travailler ensemble autrement les americains n'auront jamais accepter Ils ont vus ce dont les rafales étaient capables au Libye et ailleurs
The American top level people in this video are very polite, cause basically, the US pilots and aircraft carriers staff does not need to learn anything from French pilots, and US jets will never need to land on the French carrier given the endless ressources the US Army has (10 carriers vs 1 for France). This is all the more true since the title of the video is pretty misleading: although the title mentions US-French joint training, the journalist actually talks mostly about the US ship (kitchen, life on board, gym...), the French training being just secondary in the video. So bottom line it's a lot of PR, and while French pilotes absolutely needed this training on the US carrier (the sole French carrier was stopped for 1.5 year for mid-life maintenance, and landing & taking of are perishable skills), it was just an other day for US carriers staff. And if the journalist had done some work, she would have mentioned that French Navy is actually the only Navy in the world able to land and take off from US carriers, which is a real performance given the size of France compared to the USA, all the more since France produces its own jet fighters and airplane carrier, as well as nuclear subs, satellites, tanks, helicopters... :)
I just would like to add than our carrier is much smaller than yours, so it is much more confortable for french pilots to land on US carriers. To land on the Charles de Gaulle, you really have to train a lot.
Peps72 I couldn't agree more with your assessment of the CBS Journalist. She came off as pompous and arrogant, and obviously very uninformed. Like the time that she started laughing in the face of the French Pilot that she was interviewing when he said that US carriers were so much bigger than the Charles De Gaulle. The CBS journalist definitely missed the point about the reason for this mission. Viewers of this report were left wanting to see and hear more of the reason for this mission, not about the daily life of a sailor on board the carrier. As you stated before the reason for this mission became secondary to this reporter. In that case they should've re-titled the story "Typical look at life aboard an aircraft carrier".
@@Gsmooth10455 Thanks, we agree for sure (I am French citizen by the way)! I am afraid the reportage was formated for the US audience (basically to show the US military muscle), cause there was so much more to say, like the French Navy pilotes do part of their training in the US, while some few F-18 also landed on the French carrier in a recent past. Cause beside France & UK, no other country in the world can land airplanes on US carriers. Despite its relatively small size, France keeps an (expensive) home made aircraft carrier, with home made airplanes, and funy enough, I think the level of connexion between the 2 armies has reached a peak these days (French army needs US army basically, like logistic airplanes such as C17s for the Barkhane operation in Sahel), a dramatic achievement since after Irak dispute, the armies had stopped their collaboration :).
@@Gsmooth10455 And of course, the US medias will never mention that our proud Rafale fighter jet (a multi role jet) managed to get almost even with a F22 raptor (a pure interceptor) during a dogfight MOC in the Gulfe (5 even, 1 win for the F22)!
"French came training with the best" Yeah, for sure ! French pilots are just prehistoric frog eaters, steeped in cheese and red wine, unable to do a single right thing with their planes. Fortunately, the Americans are there to teach them how to fly ! 😎👍
Only during the First World War, a French Pilot had almost the best result of enemies shot down according to the War Conventions of the time (75). Because he would have shot down nearly 30 more unlicensed planes, which would do more than the Red Baron.

"For the french visitors it's a chance to sharpens their skills with the best" typical american arrogance when you know that french pilots are "at least" as skilled as americans !
Actually those trainings are a chance for both to improve interopperability for future conflicts !
And when US pilots land on the French carrier, do french have to say "US pilots come training with the best" ? 🤔😁
Nope, we are arrogant people but that doesn't sound like something we would say on national television.
No. Next...
Fun fact the Charles de Gaulle is smaller than the USS George H.W. Bush.
So it's actually easier for french pilot to land their plane on a bigger aircraft carrier. And if you look at american pilot training on the Charles de Gaulle, they struggle to land and often take the third or second cable, after several times ;). (
they all succeeded obviously otherwise they'll land in water lul)

Nope. If I recall correctly French navy already operated that way in the past, with the H. Truman and G. Bush
Seeing this video I add the most important for you in the USA:
Without the "Royale", the French navy so, which then defeated the English Royal Navy, which behaved before this defeat as a true dictator of the seas for the benefit of the economy and the interests of England (in the 18th century, finally in peace with its European neighbors for more than 20 years, France under the will of King Louis XV had been able to put a lot of its means to build a navy as powerful as that of England, the only Navy in the world at that time able to beat the Royal Navy), never without doubts the USA would exist today as an independent republic, or at least never since 1776.
The French Navy is also very closely linked by facts to the History of the USA, it is even the most important military player which ultimately allowed the creation of your free Republic.
To all Americans reading this, french army loves you guys🇫🇷🇺🇲
Arresting wire system has a button for the Rafale. That's cool.

The Rafale is gorgeous, typically "français" ! So sexy !
« Training with the best” I love how she completely forget that one French pilot usually do the job of 3-4 American pilot since we have an omnirole aircraft, much superior than the one operated on american carrier... anyway, I’m glad to see that even if we have our beef some times, our military are still supporting each other...
heu la tu dis un peu n'importe quoi... va revoir ta copie le F18 a à peu prés les mêmes capacités opérationnelles... ils ont le même cahier des charges et les mêmes spécifications... le seul secteur ou le rafale est supérieur c'est l'emport d'arme... pour le reste c'est quasiment pareil.
@Shaun Mclaren the rafale is a 4.5 th generation omnirole. It is the top of its generation fighter. Be objectiv. The difference with a 5 th generation is the stealthy .

Since the Brazilian Navy announced the disarmament of the aircraft carrier NAe São Paulo (ex-French aircraft carruer-Foch) in 2017, only two nations are capable, in 2020, of catapulting aircraft. These are the United States with the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers and France with the Charles de Gaulle.
By 2025 France will obtain a new 75,000-tonne aircraft carrier that will allow France to be the 2nd nation to benefit from the largest aircraft carrier behind the USA and their Nimitz classes.

Wow-- talk about multi-national strike groups and cooperation! Soon, the Queen Elizabeth will deploy with a Marine F-35 unit and it won't be long perhaps for a French squadron to deploy on an American carrier. That's interoperability!
France will always be a close brother in arms to the usa. I just hope our two nations will never be enemies. I would rather have France have our back the same for the usa for France.
I rented rooms to pilots from all over Europe a few years ago; the training and licensing in the USA is cheaper here than in Europe and I believe it is superior to the training in Europe as well; I worked with pilots from Czech Republic, France, Belgium, Germany and the U.K. They take all their lessons AND exams in English AND their native language (Both); highly intelligent!!!
France uses 200 naval aeronautics aircraft divided into 15 flotillas and 3 squadrons, or 4000 sailors, anchored in 4 aeronautical bases. France has 4 nuclear ballistic missile submarines, 6 nuclear attack submarines
It's not really rare. British RAF was training in the spanish aircraft years ago because they did not have the new one and they used the same kind of planes, Harrier.
If some people are thinking in a british-spanish war they are wrong, really wrong. That's why NATO exists: for defense purposes and make one army (i was several yeras a go a former spanish marine and we were training always with NATO forces. You can see now, for example, Naval Task Forces, spanish too, in front of Siria or close to Russia with spannisn Eurofighters in Baltican republics, etc)
It's not vet rare with air force but with navies, it's much lesss commun, the marine national and the brazilian navy (because they bought a french carrier) are the only one to have the same standards for their catapults so it's a fairly rare exercise.
I would like to have a Catobar in our "aircraft", but it's very expensive (even UK with the new aircraft too)
In NATO ships (integrated forces) it's not strange; US Osprey landing on spanish aircraft ruclips.net/video/Y-v7_gvGA-Q/видео.html or the full integration from years ago between Spanish Armada and the US Navy with the AEGIS system in the east Mediterranean (Syria) or with ships and spanish F-18 and Eurofighters close to North-east Russia.

I find it interesting that us and french carrier launch catapult systems are compatible. Im curious if a Superhornet could take off from the French Carrier. Its a bigger heavier jet than the French Rafale
They set the catapults and arresting wires for the weight of the plane since all are not the same weight.
The catapult from the French carrier is made in USA, same model as the Nimitz class
@@ericroger926 i was unaware of that, but it's interesting
@@Knightfang1 the Americans have a great experience and a very unique and advanced technology for catapult. Unless I am wrong, the French intend to use the new magnetic system used on the Ford class for their future carrier.
@@ericroger926 now that i think about it, it makes sense for all NATO Naval fighters to use a standardized launch system so they can work together. I just didn’t realize the french carrier used the exact same catapult as the Nimitz Class. The Electro magnetic system will become standard in the decades ahead for several reasons, but mainly because of many drone aircraft being too light for the steam catapult’s minimum settings

Why does the US allow French pilots on a US carrier. In 1986 when 25 F-111 took off from a UK base to bomb Libyia the US asked the French gov for permission to fly over France to cut the distance in half the French gov said no.
At least, they respected this decision. Smaller Malta also said no, and yet its air space was violated by Big Boss's planes. Because small.
Talion's law, and the law of the strongest are against the Charter of UNO in theory, and the USA failed to back their operation by any article of the Charter about auto-defence (because of lack of evidences or disdain for the world organization). UK's Prime Minister said yes and this led to heavy domestic criticisms afterwards, a proof that saying yes was not so evident I presume.
@@rjbmarchiac8693 Libia was responsable for the downing of a 747 Pan Am plane over Scotland. Maybe France should build more aircraft carriers and not rely on US carriers. If it happened over France they would have reacted differently.
The USA did the same in 1956 against uk + france+ israel for Suez chanel crisis in Egypt . We wanted to reconquer Suez chanel (france has built it and managed it) in Egypt and the USA + Russia threatened France,Uk and wanted that we stop to attack Egypt.

The American top level people in this video are very polite, cause basically, the US pilots and aircraft carriers staff does not need to learn anything from French pilots, and US jets will never need to land on the French carrier given the endless ressources the US Army has (10 carriers vs 1 for France). This is all the more true since the title of the video is pretty misleading: although the title mentions US-French joint training, the journalist actually talks mostly about the US ship (kitchen, life on board, gym...), the French training being just secondary in the video. So bottom line it's a lot of PR, and while French pilotes absolutely needed this training on the US carrier (the sole French carrier was stopped for 1.5 year for mid-life maintenance, and landing & taking of are perishable skills), it was just an other day for US carriers staff. And if the journalist had done some work, she would have mentioned that French Navy is actually the only Navy in the world able to land and take off from US carriers, which is a real performance given the size of France compared to the USA, all the more since France produces its own jet fighters and airplane carrier, as well as nuclear subs, satellites, tanks, helicopters... :)
I just would like to add than our carrier is much smaller than yours, so it is much more confortable for french pilots to land on US carriers. To land on the Charles de Gaulle, you really have to train a lot.
Peps72 I couldn't agree more with your assessment of the CBS Journalist. She came off as pompous and arrogant, and obviously very uninformed. Like the time that she started laughing in the face of the French Pilot that she was interviewing when he said that US carriers were so much bigger than the Charles De Gaulle. The CBS journalist definitely missed the point about the reason for this mission. Viewers of this report were left wanting to see and hear more of the reason for this mission, not about the daily life of a sailor on board the carrier. As you stated before the reason for this mission became secondary to this reporter. In that case they should've re-titled the story "Typical look at life aboard an aircraft carrier".
@@Gsmooth10455 Thanks, we agree for sure (I am French citizen by the way)! I am afraid the reportage was formated for the US audience (basically to show the US military muscle), cause there was so much more to say, like the French Navy pilotes do part of their training in the US, while some few F-18 also landed on the French carrier in a recent past. Cause beside France & UK, no other country in the world can land airplanes on US carriers. Despite its relatively small size, France keeps an (expensive) home made aircraft carrier, with home made airplanes, and funy enough, I think the level of connexion between the 2 armies has reached a peak these days (French army needs US army basically, like logistic airplanes such as C17s for the Barkhane operation in Sahel), a dramatic achievement since after Irak dispute, the armies had stopped their collaboration :).
@@Gsmooth10455 And of course, the US medias will never mention that our proud Rafale fighter jet (a multi role jet) managed to get almost even with a F22 raptor (a pure interceptor) during a dogfight MOC in the Gulfe (5 even, 1 win for the F22)!
