“We at EAA had a close connection to him for decades, as he first met EAA founder Paul Poberezny in their mutual hometown of Milwaukee. Jim was a regular visitor to Oshkosh for the EAA fly-in convention for many years and graciously retold his experiences as a Naval Aviator and an astronaut to our audiences on numerous occasions. We express our condolences to Jim’s family and many friends, and say, Godspeed and thank you.” Source: A fond farewelll from EAA to legendary astronaut and pilot, Jim Lovell, who went west on August 7th.
