• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

As with the USN, the French Navy certainly got its money's worth from their F-8 Crusaders. Here is a nice video clip of Aeronavale Crusaders from 12.F and 14.F Flottilles operating ashore, then bouncing and trapping aboard FS Clemenceau (R98):

What's going on is obvious to anybody familiar with naval aviation, but maybe our French-speaking forum members could post a few comments about the narrative. :)
 
From what I've understood it's just standard carrier trials narration. Most probably the same phrases you'd hear in a USN movie about carrier operations. :d
