  2. In the mid 1940’s ,when I was a pre-teen,my dad sponsored an air-show at an air strip that he built on the farm in1943.The stripwas built by Nello-Teer Const.Co.Immediately after completing Danville Municipal airport.At that airshow Woody Edmunson was the featured aviator and he was flying “Little Butch .Lucky me,I got to sit in the pilots seat.How about that?
    I saw an article in “Avation History”or “Air and Space” and Woody and someone,named Boyne were pictured standing in front of “Little Butch”.

  3. My father had a small flying operation called Perkins Flying Service.It was a grass strip field located in Roxboro,N.C. Woody Edmondson flew airshows in Lil Butch at my dad’s field.Woody was the uncle of Frank Sadler,one of my dad’s good friends.Those were some really fun times,people came from miles around to see those shows.
