Sort of like TV deputy Barney Fife who had to keep his revolver unloaded and had one bullet in his pocket that he could load if the Sheriff said it was OK. France is the world’s Mayberry?

When I saw the headline, I thought maybe it was powered by wind and solar.

I suppose that’s next ... course ... it will be dead in the water. But the French will prolly be OK with that.

Me too, I expected to see a huge Mast in the middle with a big white Sail on it.

Well, they’re not likely to need ‘em. The Etenards and Rafales are formidable enough.

Didn’t the Charles de Gaulle once sail without a prop?
Dropped it into the Atlantic, IIRC.

I guess our carriers are loaded with apologies for any tin-horn dictator they come across.

SONOBUOY PING!

Click on pic for past Navair pings.

Post or FReepmail me if you wish to be enlisted in or discharged from the Navair Pinglist.
The only requirement for inclusion in the Navair Pinglist is an interest in Naval Aviation.
This is a medium to low volume pinglist.

France under Sarkosky is showing more balls than we are. I think we should give them a break for a while.
