EAA Founder Paul Poberezny passed away this morning (August 22) at Evergreen Retirement Village in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, after a battle with cancer. He was 91.
The Poberezny family has expressed the following: “We deeply appreciate all the support shown to Paul and Audrey over the past five months. As Paul often said, he considers himself a millionaire because through aviation he made a million friends. He leaves an unmatched legacy in aviation and can be best remembered by all the people who discovered aviation through his inspiration to create EAA. We also thank you for respecting our family’s privacy during this time.” As ANN reported earlier, Mark R. Baker, described by AOPA as "a longtime general aviation (GA) pilot," has been named president and chief executive officer (CEO) of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA). Baker is only the fifth AOPA president since the association’s founding nearly 75 years ago. The crew flying a UPS A300 that went down short of Birmingham airport knew things were going bad but had little or no time to correct the situation. The NTSB says the two pilots got both ground proximity and sink
rate warnings before the plane impacted terrain. All this... and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
