I can't wait for them to try real naval aviation. Boy are they in for a few surprises.

But I expect they have copies of all of our NATOPS manuals...

NATOPS manuals are only a part of the equation.

The real strength of U.S. carrier aviation is the living history and experience in countless areas that is handed down, squid to squid, officer to officer, pilot to pilot in an unbroken chain going back to the old USS Langley.

No other nation even comes close.

Still, it will be interesting to see what the Chinese do with these things. Not that I expect them to be very effective, at least, not for many years.
