So Harry gets to fly Apaches in the Army and shoot things, and William gets to fly SAR. Id love to be at those lunches and hear them talk about whos better. of course, when William is King, he can just have Harry beheaded.
I can just see the post checkride debriefs..
"Well, there, Leftenant Wales, your heading control was margin-, er, I mean, excellent. And hover control needs some, er, I mean, it was exceptional. Trim maintenance was slopp-, uh, splendid! At 2000 ft, your nap-of-the-earth flying, er, I mean, cruise flight was just fine... With scores like these, I'm sure the CO will recommend you fly the Apache.."
Heheh
Like Harry wasn't going to get the top of his class. The #2 guy is thinking "Just my bloody luck to be in the bloody class with a bloody royal."
My money says he will find himself a nice instructor gig somewhere. Not as a PIC of an Apache in combat.
