(September 14, 1921 – August 22, 2013)
Paul H. Poberezny founded the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) in 1953 and spent a significant part of his life promoting aviation and fighting for the freedom to fly. Paul was an aviator and aircraft designer, but more than that, he was a leader.
With the permission of EAA and the Poberezny family, we are proud to present to you one of many “Paulisms” – actual quotations from Paul that embody his beliefs, his legacy, and his impact on EAA and its members. We hope you enjoy them in remembrance of this great man, and take his comments to heart.
LEGACY: “Aviation seeds must be transplanted to future generations if we are to see our rich heritage passed on for others to see, to feel, to touch, to fly.”
