Prince George has been fascinated with aviation since he was a toddler and is believed to have just taken his first flying lesson. The eldest child of the Prince and Princess of Wales flew with an instructor while his parents watched from the ground at White Walam Airfield near Maidenhead Burks, a 20-minute drive from their home in Windsor, according to the Sun.

The hour-long lesson on the last day of the summer holidays is part of a long-standing royal tradition; both his great-grandfather, Prince Philip, and his father, Prince William, had flying training backgrounds. William reminisced about his own experiences as a search and rescue pilot and expressed his desire to return to flying helicopters, underlining his love of aviation.

George enjoyed an hour-long lesson at the airport on the last day of the school summer holidays last week. The prince, who is second in line to the throne, later relaxed with William and Kate at the airport's club, the AO Club, in West London. According to the club's website, anyone of any age can learn to fly but you need to be 16 to fly solo. George looks set to follow in the footsteps of his great-grandfather, the Royal Flying Corps. Prince Phillip began his flying training in 1952 at White Walam and was trained by the Royal Air Force.

This week, William said he was keen to fly a helicopter again when he visited the Welsh Air Ambulance headquarters in South Wales on Tuesday. The future king spoke of how much he missed the role and hinted that he might go back and join the Welsh Air Ambulance for a weekend. "I can't stop talking about the helicopters and the medical kits and all that stuff," William said. "I'm sorry it's taken so long to talk about it. I miss everything. I'd like to stay a little longer. "I was thinking maybe I could come back one weekend. I saw Cardiff a while ago and told them I'd come back and join them.

The family then relaxed at the airport’s clubhouse, suggesting a fun bonding experience. Overall, the video highlights not only George’s budding interest in flying, but also the rich aviation heritage within the royal family.
