Butch Walsh in Stinson 108-2,
NC949D, and Ray Johnson in Aeronca 11AC,
NC6439E, return from Oshkosh AirVenture 2005. Both planes are Oshkosh
Grand Champions. Butch passed away on Thursday, May 11th, 2006 from
leukemia for which he had been recently diagnosed. He was working in his shop
days before on one of his beloved Stinsons. Butch was a Master Stinson
Restorer and had won many Championship awards around the country for his
tremendous workmanship. He will be greatly missed by his family, his many
friends, and the entire Stinson community. For info on Butch's Grand Champion
NC6233M, see this
link. See a
tribute to Butch by Ray Johnson at
this link. Ray Johnson organizes the
Fly-In/Cruise-In event each year in
Marion, Indiana and is co-producer of the
Fly-In/Cruise-In
Videos. Photo courtesy of Brian Matz of
Aerial Aspect Photography, taken from his Aeronca 11AC.
I will be adding more information
of interest to Aeronca and Stinson enthusiasts as I develop this website.
In the meantime, I'd enjoy hearing from anyone who shares an interest in
these classic aircraft. I especially welcome comments about corrections
that are needed to the website, whether they be in content or style. E-mail
