Prince William Makes Solo Flight

Prince William is ever so happy and surprised, a bit nervous and finally elated by his first solo flight. William, who is 25 years of age, the elder son of Prince Charles, and the late Princess Diana, is having flight training with the Royal Air Force. He flew alone for the first time Wednesday. He said "God knows how somebody trusted me with an aircraft and my own life. He said this of his flight in a propeller-driven trainer. Once he was airborne, the prince said it was fine. He said you just have to remember your checks and do all the things you have got to do and fly the circuit.
