Britain's Prince Harry qualifies as chopper commander
July 06, 2013
Britain's Prince Harry has qualified as an Apache helicopter commander, the Ministry of Defence announced today, putting him in charge of the aircraft he co-piloted in Afghanistan. 

Harry, 28, served as a co-pilot gunner in the attack chopper during his 20-week tour in Afghanistan's restive Helmand Province, which ended in January. Harry -- who will be overtaken as third in line to the throne by his brother Prince William's first baby, due this month -- passed the commander test earlier this week.
