Paul Poberezny is one of a kind.....just look at what one man's efforts have accomplished! We are all better off for his work and dreams.

I grew up in Madison, WI and had plenty of interaction with EAA when it was in Hales Corners, and later Oshkosh. I distinctly remember being at the museum one day not long after it first opened, and meeting Paul there. He was always a very genuine, down to earth person, and very easy to approach and talk to.

Aviation has lost a true pioneer.

Blue skies and gentle breezes Paul.
