A Monument to Aviation Enthusiasts

EAA's Memorial Wall is dedicated to those special individuals whose support and passion for aviation positively impacted the lives of those around them. It provides a dignified place for families and friends to rememember and honor these loved ones. The Wall's centerpiece is a monument formed of thousands of stones brought to Oshkosh from EAA members' home states and countries. On both sides of the centerpiece, bronze plaques are installed annually to honor individuals whose names were submitted for permanent recognition.

Commemorating Someone Special

EAA is pleased to immortalize the names of those who have enriched your life by instilling in you a passion for aviation. The Memorial Wall is our way of saying thank you to them for sharing their talents and enthusiasm - inspiring a new generation of passionate aviation enthusiasts.

Honoring Each Legacy Annually

The Memorial Wall is nestled among the EAA grounds to the northwest of EAA's Fergus Chapel. To honor the legacy of the Memorial Wall's inductees from the previous year, EAA conducts an annual dedication service on the last Sunday of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. This service is followed by the reading of the names and a breathtaking "serenity of a missing man" formation flight overhead.

Those honored on the monument are also remembered in a Memorial Wall Album. An album is maintained for each induction year which features biographies and photos of the inductees provided by family members and friends. All albums are available for viewing at the Chapel during EAA AirVenture Oshkosh and are accessible throughout the year upon request at the EAA AirVenture Museum.

If you would like to remember a friend or loved one by participation in the EAA Memorial Wall program, please email development@eaa.org or phone 920-426-6887 or 800-236-1025.
