Stan Lee, known as the creator of comic-book heroes Spider-Man the Hulk, and the X-Men, arrived at Oshkosh on Friday to announce a partnership between his charitable foundation and EAA. The Stan Lee Foundation promotes literacy, education and the arts. Lee announced in a news conference on Boeing Plaza that he will work with EAA's Young Eagles program to encourage young people to explore aviation and aeronautics. "I've always believed in encouraging children to read, think, imagine and do," Lee said. "Nowhere do these positive actions come to life more than in EAA's successful Young Eagles program." He also introduced a special guest, Aviar, a caped superhero devoted to getting kids interested in flight. "We've got to really excite young people about aviation," Lee said.
