According to news on the evening of September 12, local time, Britain’s Prince George has begun learning how to fly a plane, even though he is only 11 years old.

reported that just last week, on the last day of the school holidays, George enjoyed his first flying lesson in his life.

George was accompanied by his parents by car to White Waltham Airport near Maidenhead, Berkshire, which is only a 20-minute drive from their home. Prince William and Princess Kate watched their eldest son take off from the runway and land safely less than an hour later.

After the flight, the family of three relaxed with a meal at the airport's clubhouse, the West London Aero Club.

According to an eyewitness who was at the Berkshire Airport at the time, the little prince seemed to like flying airplanes, and his parents also seemed very calm and did not show any nervousness.

According to sources, George practiced flying under the leadership of a coach. His parents were very proud of him. After all, being able to fly a plane is a proud tradition for members of the British royal family, and George obviously inherited this The tradition is older than his fathers and ancestors.

This light aircraft named "Piper PA28" is the aircraft George flew when he took flying lessons.

Although pilots can start learning to fly at any age, the training time counted towards the license can only start at the age of 14. This means that even if George can fly the plane alone, he cannot obtain a license now, but no matter what, Practice as early as possible.

According to the British Civil Aviation Authority, to obtain a private pilot license, students must complete at least 45 hours of flying and pass nine theoretical tests. Pilots must be 17 years or older to hold a license and fly passengers.

By the way, White Waltham Airport where George trained is exactly where his great-grandfather Prince Philip began his flight training when the Queen's husband was 31 years old. After initial training at De Havilland Chipmunk Aviation, he went on to study at Harvard University in North America. A year later, he was awarded the "Flying Wings" medal by the Air Marshal.

George's father William and uncle Harry can also fly airplanes, but they did not receive flight training until they joined the army, much later than George.

William began an intensive training program in the Royal Air Force at the age of 27. He first learned to fly fixed-wing aircraft and then helicopters. In 2010, William completed training as a helicopter pilot with the RAF Search and Rescue Unit and began serving in Wales. He later served with the East Anglia Air Ambulance.

As for whether George’s grandfather Charles could fly a plane, it’s hard to say, but he did receive four months of training in the Royal Air Force, and George’s great-uncle Prince Andrew participated in actual combat, during the Falklands War. Work as a helicopter pilot.

Not only the royal family, but also the Middleton family, George's mother's natal family, also has an indissoluble bond with flying.

George's maternal grandfather, Michael Middleton, studied as a pilot at British European Airlines and later served as a flight dispatcher for British Airways. Michael's father is a British Airways jet pilot.

In other words, George is continuing the family tradition of his parents by learning to fly.

On the day that the news of George learning to fly was released, Prince William visited Cranwell Royal Air Force Base in Lincolnshire and attended the monarch's military parade and graduation ceremony on behalf of his father, who "needs to rest as prescribed by the doctor".

Cranwell Royal Air Force Base is a very commemorative place for William. He received his "pilot badge" here in 2008, and his then-girlfriend Kate was also present.

Years later, William and Kate are already an old married couple, and their children have learned to fly.
