PHOENIX — Prince Harry, third in line to the British throne, is coming to Arizona this fall to complete helicopter training, a spokeswoman for Luke Air Force Base said Wednesday. However, it’s unclear exactly where in the state he will train.

“He’s definitely not coming to Luke, but he will be in Arizona,” Capt. Carla Gleason said.

The prince, a 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 United Kingdom. That course continues in Exercise Crimson Eagle in Arizona and California.

Exercise Crimson Eagle has been held previously at the Barry M. Goldwater U.S. Air Force Range in southwestern Arizona.
