Welcome Flight Instructor Harald Schaupp

Welcome Harald! We are excited to add another new Flight Instructor to the Platinum Helicopters team. Here is a little bit about him:

Harald Schaupp grew up in the northern part of Germany close to Hamburg. During an internship for the economic engineering degree program at the airport of Hamburg, he saw a Robinson R22 passing by and thought: “Wow, that´s cool!”. After having worked several years for a car producer, Harald realized that becoming a helicopter pilot is his real passion. Though Harald started his flight training in a Robinson R44 Helicopter in Germany, to improve his skills and gain useful experience in a diverse environment, he decided to move to Portland, Oregon in 2021. There he worked hard and finished all his American and European licenses and became a flight instructor. Harald couldn’t be happier to be a part of the Platinum Helicopters LLC team so he can share his enthusiasm of flying.
