Prince William becomes Air Ambulance pilot

#princewilliam #airambulance Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, is slated to take up a job as the pilot of an air ambulance and will report for his first shift at Cambridge Airport. He began a course in September last to become a civilian pilot and has undergone a dedicated 999-response training which will help him to take up the assignment with the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA).
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 13 July 2015.

His training is now complete and William, a former RAF search and rescue helicopter pilot, will henceforth work as a co-pilot and his duties would be to transport patients to hospital from emergencies ranging from road accidents to heart attacks.
He is excited at the job because, in his opinion, it is a sort of continuation from the military rescues since both require the same sorts of skills - in short, it is a similar type of job. He is already qualified to be a captain or pilot of a Sea King helicopter.
He would be an employee of Bond Air Services and will work alongside a pilot and a team of medics. He would be flying missions over Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. He will be paid a salary and, this he will donate in full to good causes.
