As told to Norm Crabill and Scott Gross by Alston "Steve" Stevens

South Norfolk Airport was opened in 1946 by the Todd family who operated it until ’54 or ’55, when Don
Wilson took over. In 1971-72 it was jointly operated by Wilson and “Steve” Stevens, and then operated
solely by Stevens till it closed November 5, 1985. It was a hub of GA activity, with 60 tie-downs at its peak.
In addition, there was a cow barn for a hangar which had 4 Citabrias, plus 2 private hangars, and the main
hangar with 3 airplanes and equipment. In its time, many types of aircraft, besides the typical single-engine light
planes, flew out of there, including a Cessna T-50, Wesley Braggs’ Beech 18, and a King Air. A stolen C-90
was dumped at South Norfolk after delivering somewhere-else a load of drugs from South America.
