LONDON — Following in the royal footsteps of his father, uncle and older brother, Prince Harry hopes to train to become a military helicopter pilot, officials announced today.
Harry is to attend a four- week “grading” next month to determine whether he is suitable for the Army Air Corps helicopter-pilot training course, said his Clarence House office. If Harry is accepted for the training, it could take up to 2 1/2 years to complete the course and learn to fly Gazelle, Lynx or Apache helicopters.
Harry, 23, already has passed the initial aptitude tests, the statement said.
Harry’s older brother, Prince William, begins his training to become a search- and-rescue pilot with the Royal Air Force in January.
