Scenes from Duchess Kate's high-flying Valentine's Day

Duchess Kate looked ready to go riding Tuesday in a double-breasted red blazer, black skinny pants and tall suede riding boots.

Only her schedule called for a plane ride rather than on horseback.

She headed out to a Royal Air Force base in central England as the new royal patron and Honorary Air Commandant of the Air Cadet Organization, a role passed on by her grandfather-in-law, Prince Philip.

This was Kate's third visit to RAF Cadets since taking over the patronage. She was there to check out a development camp for novice cadets between the ages of 12 and 19 and in their first six months of training.

Here are a few shots from her visit.

There was what looked like an epic game of Red Rover with the cadets

Some quality time in the flight simulator

She had a seat in a real cockpit

Jokes with the cadets

And she dressed appropriately for Valentine's Day

Her twill blazer in claret is from Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini from the designer's 2017 resort collection.
