Seaman Stains, who was of course, most definitely not part of the crew of the Black Pig along with Roger the Cabin Boy

Remember, Charles de Gaulle is a French ship, you get two daily rations of Wine!
When I was in Paris for the Paris Air Show in the seventies we finished work a bit later than usual and as we parked our vehicles at the Militaire Ecole we went into their canteen for dinner and at the end of the servery there were a selection of small bottles of red wine which we did not have to pay for, after a couple of those we sort of managed to stagger back to the hotel sobered up a bit before hitting the Champs-Elysees night life. :party:

Hell no.. if its a ship.. it's fair game :rock:

As it happens.. the RFN ships are very well made and fair on frame rates too. Of course, I don't land on or even see them often but they're 'must have's' in any sea-going collection ;) I've also got Russian, loads of American, Spanish, Japanese.. the list goes on. If its a ship.. I'll have it :cpu:

Notwithstanding the Flying Stations Victorious and RFN Clemenceau/Foch and CDG.. you might want to look at Javier Fernandez USS Nimitz/Ike. Look for uss_nimitz_ike_version2.zip at Flightsim.com . This is a monster.. a yardstick by which all other models are judged :thumbsup: You'll need AICarriers to see it as with all the others ;)

Cheers Dave, when I finally get round to it I may end up flying carrier based more than land-based airports, trouble is being retired.....I don't have much spare time to play with! :lol: :lol:
