Industry Mourns Passing of
EAA Founder Paul Poberezny

The aviation industry recently lost a legend with
the passing of Paul Poberezny, the founder of the
Experimental Aircraft Association. Poberezny, 91,
passed away Thursday, Aug. 22.
“Paul always said he felt like a millionaire because
he made a million friends in the aviation industry,” said
Paula Derks, AEA president. “Actually, the general aviation industry should think of ourselves as millionaires
amongst Paul, because he gave us a million reasons to
Paul Poberezny
be passionate about aviation. He leaves a great mission
for all of us to carry on in the future.”
Born in Kansas in 1921, Poberezny served as a pilot in the U.S. military for
30 years. He retired from the Wisconsin Air National Guard in 1970. Along with
his wife, Audrey, Poberezny founded the EAA in 1953. The association currently
has more than 170,000 members in countries across the globe, and it hosts EAA
AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wis., one of aviation’s largest events each year.
Memorials in honor of Poberezny’s life and legacy may be made to any
of the following:
• EAA Aviation Foundation: PO Box 3086, Oshkosh, WI 54903
• Evergreen Foundation Inc.: 1130 North Westfield St., Oshkosh, WI 54902
• American Cancer Society, Northeast Wisconsin: 790 Marvelle Lane,
