Ownership of Eagles Nest Airport has officially transitioned from Peter Weidhorn to the pilot community, to ensure the airport’s continuity and operational standards, Weidhorn has announced. At age 72, he said, he is thinking ahead to safeguard the airport’s long-term success for generations to come.

Effective immediately, the nonprofit Eagles Nest Pilots Association and its elected board of directors, of which Weidhorn is president, are responsible for operations.
