Paulisms by Paul Poberezny

Posted on September 21, 2015September 21, 2015 by mwflyer

(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 an 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.

COMMUNITY: “We are a family – a family brought together by aviation.”
