The Wisconsin Assembly is honoring the life and public
service of the late Paul Poberezny.
Lawmakers approved a resolution honoring the founder of the Experimental Aircraft Association who
passed away In August at the age of 91.
A former military pilot, Poberezny gathered a group of
recreational aviation enthusiasts in Milwaukee in 1953 to form a club for those
who built and restored aircraft. Now based in Oshkosh, EAA provides education and training programs for
recreational pilots and hosts AirVenture, one of the nation's
largest air shows and pilots'
conventions. EAA spokesman Dick
Knapinski says Poberezny continued to
participate in EAA events despite retiring from day-to-day involvement in 1989.
