Heinz Weissenbuehler: Open Heinz Weissenbuehler (46) started flying gliders at the age of 14 as a
Junior on Harris Hill, Elmira, NY where he flew his first solo flight
in a SGS 2-33. Since then, he accumulated about 4000 hours in gliders
and flew many contests, including 19 Nationals. Heinz works as a 767
pilot for American Airlines and lives and flies on Harris Hill where
he has been a member of Harris Hill Soaring Corp. (HHSC) for 33 years.
Instructing and working with the many Harris Hill Juniors is as
important to him as soaring itself. Heinz’ wife Karin and father Heinz
Sr. are also active soaring pilots at HHSC. He will be flying his
Nimbus 4 at the WGC in Lüsse-Berlin, Germany in 2008 and Karin will be
crewing for him. |
