I felt so sorry for those kids after they lost their mom and have always read news about them.

As for Harry, he looks like he is ornery as sin but has a good heart.

Hoping for the best for both of them.

I thought that his elder brother was the chopper pilot?

Do Brit cavalry officers have the option to swing between armored cav & air cav?

I sorta figured that the chopper was towing a radar-reflecting target. That would at least give the chopper a chance if a sea-skimming exocet was successfully spoofed. Never really looked into it however.

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

I think if you talk to just about any military helicopter pilot they will tell you that it requires diminished brain capacity to willingly fly one. A military helicopter is best described as a collection of 500,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder.....

Prince Harry reminds me of Marquis de Lafayette.
Go, Harry!!
