LONDON — Britain’s Prince William plans to become a full-time search-and-rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force, royal officials said Monday.
The prince’s Clarence House office said William would begin a training program in January. William, 26, learned to fly this year with the air force. He also has served with the Royal Navy and is an officer in the British army.
“The time I spent with the RAF earlier this year made me realize how much I love flying,” said William. “Joining search and rescue is a perfect opportunity for me to serve in the forces operationally, while contributing to a vital part of the country’s emergency services.”
