His work also included organizing and operating AeroShell Square, the center of activity at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh. Daryl was tragically killed in an automobile accident earlier this year. He was immortalized on the closing day of AirVenture 2006 when the AeroShell Square operations building was renamed the “Daryl Lenz Center”.
The EAA Warbirds of America Hall of Fame, established in 1995, honors those who have furthered the cause of EAA Warbirds of America and/or the Warbird movement.
On October 27, Harrington and Lenz will be inducted to the Hall during a special ceremony at the EAA AirVenture Museum in Oshkosh.
