=============================
I filmed this video in 2016 when my squadron spent a day aboard France's only aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulle (R91). Although I didn't get a chance to do any flying on or off the ship, I was fortunate enough to be given full access to their flight deck and allowed to film while we conducted joint flight operations.

Also, in this video I mispronounce the name of the French fighter jets. They are Dassault Rafales and are pronounced “Ra-fal,” not “Raphael” like the teenage mutant ninja turtle or the Italian painter! Rafale means “gust of wind” or “burst of fire” (in a more military sense). And I can’t edit the audio and re-do the voiceover, but I wish I could, ha!

I have nothing but respect and admiration for the French Sailors we met that day - they were very welcoming and beyond professional.
