Prince Harry meets with airmen
- 12 years ago
The royals have another helicopter pilot in the family.
Newly qualified Apache chopper pilot Prince Harry toured a Royal Air Force base in southeast England on Friday. The young prince chatted with fellow airmen and handed out awards to service members including a veteran. He also met with some of their families.
Harry recently completed a 16-month Apache training course, which included training in the States. He has some more advanced training to do in the UK, and will likely be ready to command combat missions in places like Afghanistan within the year.
