Memorial Wall
July 29, 2017 - The EAA Memorial Wall is a special place on the EAA AirVenture Oshkosh grounds honoring fallen friends, family, and others who have inspired the next generation of aviators.
The 2017 dedication ceremony and reading of the newly added names will take place at 10 a.m. today. The program also includes a missing-man formation flight and the playing of taps.
The Memorial Wall was built from stones brought to Oshkosh by EAA members from around the world. Bronze plaques are installed each year bearing the names of the new inductees and are formally installed on the last day of the convention.
Here are the names added in the past year to the EAA Memorial Wall.
