Prince Harry is going to Arizona this fall to complete helicopter training, said a spokeswoman for Luke Air Force Base on Wednesday. However, it's not clear where in the state he will train."He's definitely not coming to Luke, but he will be in Arizona," said Capt. Carla Gleason.
The prince, recently promoted to captain, is training to pilot the Boeing Apache attack helicopter with the British Army Air Corps. Gleason confirmed that the prince is taking part in the Apache Conversion to Role course in the U.K. That course continues with Exercise Crimson Eagle in Arizona and California.
The prince's U.S. training will consist of "environmental training, live firing and tactical exercises," according to Gleason.
The British Embassy confirmed the prince will be training in the U.S. but said the British military has not given further details. A British Ministry of Defence press officer said he could not confirm the prince's plans, adding that details of his training are likely being withheld as a matter of security.
