Formula One driver Mark Webber sits in the cockpit of an Airbus A380.
Australian airline Qantas said Wednesday that it will help Red Bull Racing Formula One driver Mark Webber become a licensed pilot.
Webber expressed his desire to fly after having the opportunity to fly over the Albert Park Circuit in a Qantas simulator.
The Australian driver visited London's Heathrow Airport, where he sat in the cockpit of a Qantas A380. He spent his time in the jet airliner with a Qantas training captain.
The airline will provide Webber with one of its training pilots to act as a mentor, as well as recommend a pilot-training organization. He also will be able to use the Qantas simulator.
