I had the pleasure of flying a French Navy Alouette III during the first Persian Gulf War in 1990.
We traded flights when we were shore based in Manama.
The embarrassing part is that we traded souvenirs later that night on his ship, which was parked next to mine..I gave him a flight suit patch, he gave me a silver ashtray with his squadrons emblem raised in the bottom.
I'll see if I can find it and take a picture. I felt like a putz.
