Over the last few months, the future head of state’s training has included, among other activities, pre-flight preparation, operational briefings, aircraft checks and teaching flights, as well as training in flight simulators. Leonor’s instruction has been completed with other activities typical of military air training, such as survival exercises at sea, training with protective equipment, including the anti-G chaps, and her participation in the traditional act of swearing of the flag held at the General Academy of Air and Space on the occasion of the feast of the patron saint of aviators, the Virgin of Loreto, celebrated this month.
