British prince is fascinated with fighter planes
(Baonghean.vn) - On July 8, George, the little Prince of the United Kingdom, less than 3 years old, fulfilled the dream of many other children when he was allowed to pilot a fighter plane under the close but proud supervision of Prince William.
While at an airshow in Fairford, southwest England, Prince William helped his son sit in the cockpit of a “Hawk”, the iconic jet of the “Red Arrows”, the Royal Air Force aerobatic team.

According to Lieutenant Jim Hobkirk, who accompanied the royal family on the tour, as he expected, Prince George is a bit sensitive to noise and what goes on inside the helicopter.
Prince George appeared “very interested in the propeller on the tail of the plane” and Lieutenant Jim Hobkirk thought the little Duke kept talking to him about “the propeller on the tail of the plane”.
It is known that Prince William is quite proficient in helicopters as he once worked as a pilot./.
