Prince William gets his calling
September 17, 2008
Prince William, the second-in-line to the British throne, has decided to become a full-time helicopter pilot with the Royal Air Force's search and rescue force, a statement from the defence ministry said.
The 26-year-old prince, who learnt to fly earlier this year with the RAF, has served for several months with the Royal Navy and currently serves as Lieutenant in the British Army.
