vh20,
I spent a lot of time at both Prattville and the Wetumpka airports in the 80's. My dad's brother lived in Prattville and I flew my J-3 and PA-22-20 over there from Columbus, Ga quite frequently. Had a cylinder overhauled at the Wetumpka shop once and watched a guy rebuild a Rearwind Cloudster there for years. There used to be a twin bonanza that sat out by the road...and back in the 70's I remember a few Beavers there as well.
I mainly spent time in Prattville...purchased the derelict Cal-Air open cockpit A-5 duster that sat in the open T hangars.
At Eufaula, (fuel pumps, facing the runway) there was a single row of hangars to the right. We were in the last hangar facing the south. Huddleston's hangar had just burned down and I remember a Stearman fuselage use to sit behind that hangar. A Lear Jet was in the taxi-through hangar by the FBO. I never did eat at the restaurant that was a tad south of the field. May be the one you are talking about....but this was in the 80's.
Good times!
This was my hangar in Columbus, Ga when I got married...moved shortly afterwards. A CalAir A-4 is hanging from the ceiling...and the A-5 under the left wing of the Fairchild 24G...sorry, my wife snapped that shot! There is a PT-19 fuselage under the right wing I got from Ozark, Al when I started college there in 90'.
