Caption: Heir display: Prince Harry waves to the crowds at The Cosford Air Show where he stunned spectators by taking part in an Apache helicopter team
Prince Harry has been wowing the crowds as part of an Army attack helicopter display team. Harry, known as Captain Wales in the Army, was part of the Apache Attack Helicopter Display Team among the aircraft at yesterday's popular RAF Cosford Air Show, in Shropshire.
Thrilled spectators had no idea the 28-year-old Prince would be part of the display team until his presence was casually announced over the tannoy. It was Harry’s first ever role in an aerial-acrobatic helicopter show team as the pilot appeared to cheat gravity with a series of heart-stopping barrel rolls.
The prince, a co-pilot gunner, serves with the Army Air Corps (AAC) from which the display crew-members have been selected this year. The Cosford Air Show attracts thousands of people annually with aerial demonstrations. This year it featured the Red Arrows, RAF Chinook transport helicopters, and the RAF Falcons parachute display team.
Harry was among crew selected given his experience in the deadly Apache helicopter, which has seen combat most recently in Libya and Afghanistan. Click link for full post from The Daily Mail.
