Prince Harry may be on the verge of retiring from the armed forces, but he still knows how to have fun in the sky!

The dare-devil prince was filmed flying a Spitfire plane as a promotion for his Endeavour Fund backed Spitfire Scholarship, which he launched in 2014 to offer training for wounded servicemen and women.

The 30-year-old was captured cheering and giving two thumbs up as he flew upside down above the English Channel in the back of the British fighter plane used during World War II.

Prince Harry loved his time in the Spitfire.

“Woah!,” he is heard saying, amid much crackling.

Upon landing, Harry can be heard remarking that “all good things must come to an end.”

Harry is currently in Australia completing his military service with the Australian Defence Force. He is set to head to Turkey for Gallipoli commemorations with his father, Prince Charles for the April 24th 100th anniversary.

The uncle to Prince George is believed to miss the birth of his sister-in-law, Duchess Catherine’s second child. It is unlikely that Harry will get the chance to meet his niece/nephew until he or she is at least a few weeks old.
