So, Her Majesty’s birthday will be Saturday. And in commemoration, among other things, the Royal Air Force will stage a flypast of various aircraft. The RAF may be a pale shadow of its former self, but they do still stage an impressive show. Click to greatly embiggen.

The grandson yes. He’s a good helo pilot.
Charles — no. He’s not current and his last takeoff was a clanger. Prince Charles can wave from the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

CHARLES?? Oh HELL no!!!
I meant Prince Andrew, who was an active duty helicopter pilot during the Falklands War, as well as an instructor.
Charles couldn’t piss in a bucket if the chamberlain held it for him.

Prince Andrew is not current in any of the flypast helos. It’s been a while since he was a Pilot in Command.
Although he did well back in the day, lifting survivors off of the SS Atlantic Conveyor after the Exocet hits while flying a Sea King.
Agree on Prince Charles.

Got to see the flyby in 1996 when I was in London during HM E2’s birthday. It was BoB flight, Red Arrows and some larger jets. I was on a ferry going to Greenwich and the flew right over us as they headed for the palace. Pretty cool.
