As a young child, Henry Chapman used to watch United States Air Force stealth bombers flying over his family home in Kuwait.
As a teenager, he flew as a passenger in a light plane for Whanganui Anzac Day parade flyovers.
Now, freshly graduated from the 14-week recruit training course at Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) Base Woodbourne, he is hoping to carve out an air force career alongside like-minded aviation enthusiasts.
Aircraftman Chapman, 20, was born in Britain but spent most of his life in Kuwait, where his father was stationed supporting the Kuwait Land Forces.
