4. France is beefing up its contribution to the Libyan campaign with the aircraft Charles de Gaulle

Edited on Sun Mar-20-11 09:22 PM by joshcryer

0205: France is beefing up its contribution to the Libyan campaign with the aircraft carrier, Charles de Gaulle, due off the Libyan coast in the next 48 hours. It left the Mediterranean port of Toulon on Sunday and is currently taking on its consignment of Rafale and Super Etendard aircraft. It should take 24 hours to reach its destination but will need more time for the 20 aircraft it can carry to meet it and conduct landing exercises.
