Yesterday’s post by Shop at Butler in honor of National Aviation Day reminded me of my funny personal connection to a plane that seemed to pre-determine my shop location here at Butler Town Center.

Long after Stengel Field had come and gone, and with no knowledge of the history of its origins, my husband built his scale model Pitts Special S-2. He was building it in his apartment when we met in Gainesville all those years ago, and he often flew his models on the open field where Agapanthus now sits. He flew his Pitts for years, but retired it, as it was a “hot” one, extremely acrobatic, and he was worried about crashing it, which as every model builder knows is a devastating experience after all those hours of work.

Scouting the new spaces in the Town Center in 2018, I noticed the Pitts Special featured on banners everywhere. I didn’t know anything about Charles Pitts and Stengel Field, but I sure did recognize the plane. Was it calling me? 😉 Regardless, our doors opened a year later and I absolutely love our location.

I’m really excited for the new aviation-themed Piazza about to open up, and I’m glad that BTC captures the history of this historic bi-plane, notably flown by two female pilots, Betty Skelton and Caro Bayley, coincidentally at the time my dad was growing up here in Gainesville. I wish I could ask my grandparents about this historic activity.

To see the real thing, next time you’re in D.C. visit the Smithsonian where Betty’s S-1 hangs upside down in the Air & Space Museum, highlighting its acrobatic capabilities. It’s a nice point of pride for Gainesville.

As for Charlie’s model Pitts, we hung it up in our son’s room for years, then donated it to the local Discovery Museum where it was on display for a while. Charlie and our son Chris love flying r/c models together to this day.

As for me, every time I come to the center, I think about that little plane and all the fun we had with it, and wonder if I chose Butler Town Center, or it chose me! — Paula 💙

From the Smithsonian: Betty Skelton bought this airplane in 1948, and with it she won the 1949 and '50 International Feminine Aerobatic Championships. Her impressive flying skill and public relations ability heightened awareness of both aerobatics and the Pitts design. Skelton sold Little Stinker in 1951, but she and her husband later reacquired it and donated it to the Smithsonian. A volunteer crew restored it from 1996 to 2001.
