Re: EAA vs SOS airventure beer tent

I’ve been an EAA member for a very long time, and grew up in Wisconsin.
Ever since Tom Poberezny took Oshkosh over and changed it to AirVenture, the money grab was on. It’s gotten progressively worse. EAA has very little resemblance to the organization I grew up around.
There are a lot of eyewitnesses to Paul Poberezny going off about the changes when he was involved in the Sport Aviation Association, and his words were very direct.
Personally, this was the proverbial last straw. I vote with my dollars, and maybe EAA listens to that. They sure don’t listen to their members.
Several EAA employees frequent this forum - and its my hope they bring to the attention of EAA management these comments as well as those on other online forums.
