I thought he did OK too, but I didn't get the relevance either. I only watched it because I thought there might be something coming about F-35B on the new carriers.
During my time on exchange at Tyndall the local channel wanted to do something similar. Strangely, every foreign pilot on the base had sub envy disappeared. One was caught and did his (very similar) piece in front of the cameras, but was later saved by one of the Japanese student instructors managing to knock over a 900 foot TV antenna, so it never aired.
Interestingly, the exchange pilot with the Navy on F-14s then was and RAF QFI. Turns out the RAF can do deck landings too.
