Prince George is approaching peak altitudes of adorableness. The little prince, who turns 3 in two weeks, attended the Royal International Air Tattoo military air show with his parents on Friday. According to People, this is the first time George has joined his mom and dad on an official royal engagement in the U.K.
Prince William served in the Royal Air Force, so it's no surprise his son with Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, is interested in aviation. George sported some baby-blue noise-cancelling headphones on the base to protect his ears from the noise. He watched aircraft from the ground and got to climb inside a jet and helicopter.
Flight Lieutenant Jim Hobkirk told People, "He seemed overawed with the noise and being inside a helicopter. It was a lovely family moment." He continued, "We shut the doors so they could have a quiet moment to themselves. The Duke was telling him, 'I used to fly these.'"

Our personal favorite is this side-by-side shot of the mini-royal with his father, Prince William, 30 years ago. Looks like George takes after his daddy!
