Harry is reportedly taking up helicopter flying lessons, according to a report from CapitalFM.

“He can’t think of anything cooler than being a helicopter pilot, so booked himself a block of lessons through a company just outside of Los Angeles,” a source dished. “With hard work and persistence, he reckons he can be qualified by the end of the year. The famous girls Harry tends to date aren’t impressed with flash cars anymore, so he wants to have something that will make their jaws drop.

The source added, “Ultimately he wants a helicopter on standby, so he can just jump in and fly himself, and his date, anywhere he wants.”
