That's great. He will love flying. I wish I'd learned to fly when I was young. I was married to a pilot and went on several trips with him. I attended a ground school so I would be able to control a plane if the pilot had a problem. I never got a license, however. One used to have to be 16 to get a pilot's license in the U.S. Don't if that is still the law.

That's cool and George is starting at just the right age.

The article mentions Philip, CHarles,and William, but the RF's interest in flying dates back to George's namesake, his great-great grandfather,George VI.The future King qualified as a pilot and earned his wings, but couldn't fly on his own due to a medical condition. IIRC, George VI was the first member of the RF to be a pilot.
