Prince Harry WILL fly Apaches after all despite claim he 'doesn't have brain capacity'

Daily Mail ^ | 2/27/2010 | Katie Nicholl

[Saije]

You have to admire this kid. He really seems to want to get back into the fight.

[Paleo Conservative]

So did he get his brain capacity from his father or his mother?

“So did he get his brain capacity from his father or his mother?”

From his paternal grandmother. Where he also got his heart.

[onyx]

I have a great deal of admiration for the young man or I should say, for the young prince.

[TokuMei]

The Apache can disorientate a lot of pilots

This English disorients ME, Jessie Jackson...

So did he get his brain capacity from his father or his mother?

Or did Prince Charles have something to do with it?

[Miss Behave]

Yes, saije and onyx. A lad who is great and giving and loving and strong. .

[PGR88]

Good for you Harry!

[Born Conservative]

Harry looks to get back into the fight, while his father “fights” global warming (despite his huge “carbon footprint”), and his brother tackles the Kingdom’s most pressing social issues. Good for Harry.

[americanophile]

...meanwhile his older brother is sleeping on London streets, his father is moping around muttering something about global warming, and his grandmother, despite all her money and immeasurable fame apparently can't find anything worthy enough to give her time to and shows no apparent interest in the liberal & Islamic tidal wave enveloping her country despite being the titular head of the Church of England.

[smokingfrog]

I don’t think it has much to do with “brain capacity.”

Some of the smartest people I know are the type that will trip over their own feet.

[celtic gal]

I would wager he and his brother got their smarts from their mom. She made sure they saw and understood they were born into this family of wealth and that did not make them any more special than anyone else. I think this is one reason they carry on with many of the charities and campaigns that were dear to her.
Charles..he is clueless about many things. He was brought up differently and his family was distant..whoever heard of a child having to make an appt to see mom..even if she is queen. Just review the photos of Diana and her reaction to seeing her “boys” whenever she greeted them..what a contrast.

Sources at the Army Air Corps headquarters in Middle Wallop, where the Prince is learning to fly, have told The Mail on Sunday that Harry is being considered to pilot the demanding aircraft after doing well on his current training.

Well, Uncle Andy was said to be a pretty darn good chopper pilot. Decoyed Argentine missiles away from his ship, IIRC. Flew anti-sub and SAR missions in the Falklands war. Maybe that should be the First Falklands War?

[El Gato]

Decoyed Argentine missiles away from his ship, IIRC

That was supposed to have been cut. I do vaguely remember something about that, but could not verify.

WTG Harry!

[element92]

I thought Harry was in the cavalry.

what happened?

[agere_contra]

Like many other, he flew patrols in a helicopter with the stealthing deliberately removed. The idea being that if a missile attack was made, it might be spoofed to hit one helicopter rather than a destroyer.

Not quite that dangerous, just trusting the missile would think it was aiming at a ship and maintain flight at 1-2m altitude above sea level.

Still requires big brass ones.

...”I have a great deal of admiration for the young man or I should say, for the young prince”...

Me, too. I love this young Prince..He is the real deal.
