C'mon guys...give him a chance.Does it matter which branch of the sevices he flies with ,so long as he is joining the helicopter club.Remember once Phillip flew them ,so did Charles and so did Andrew...all with the Navy (if you don't include the sadly defunct RAF Queens Flight) ,so maybe its the Air Force's turn ?
If it encourages a few more youngsters to volunteer and follow his example perhaps we can overcome the shortage of helo pilots !!
