Andrew Wegener

Andrew Wegener is a student at NCSU in his junior year earning a degree in Aero Space Engineering.  As if that wasn’t enough to study, he decided to earn a Private Pilot’s License.

On 8-22-14,  Andrew passed his Private Pilot check ride with Designated Pilot Examiner Henry Joyner.  Andrew flew a Piper Cherokee, N8432C.  He was mentored through the training by his father, Dr. Mike Wegener, who is also a Private Pilot.  Congratulations Andrew!
