COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL JANUARY 24, 2018 5A Cottage Grove Retrospective A look back at Sentinel stories from 30 and 60 years ago First aviation museum could be built here An effort is underway to make Cottage Grove the sit of Oregon’s fi rst aviation mu- seum. A non-profi t organization interested in the history of aviation in the state plans to build the Oregon Aviation Museum near the Cot- tage Grove Airport. Carol Skinner, a member of the group’s board of directors, said there would be no problem fi lling the museum with interesting displays. Skinner said Oregon carries a rich tradi- tion in aviation. The museum could feature such items as the fi rst home-built airplane ever licensed in the nation. It was built in Oregon and the builder now lives in Port- land. Gordon Fullerton, an Oregonian who pi- loted the fi rst space shuttle, may also be the subject of an exhibit. World War II fl ying aces, women stunt pilots, the fi rst woman to under go G-force testing and other Oregonian fi rsts in avia- tion will be included in the museum’s pre- sentation, skinner said. “There’s a whole lot of history that needs to be preserved,” Skinner said. Stories of Oregon’s aviation infancy are plentiful. Skinner described a group of pi- lots billed as the “Outlaws” who skillfully avoided federal inspections after building and fl ying their own planes in the 1930s. Donations from Portland’s OMSI or even the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, POLICE BLOTTER D.C. could possibly be borrowed for the new museum, Skinner said. Loaned exhib- its would be on display for as long as fi ve years. Skinner is a 1950 graduate of Cottage Grove High School and now lives in Spring- fi eld. Many of the museum enthusiasts live in the Eugene-Springfi eld area, she said. The group’s effort received a boost re- cently when a master plan for the 20-year future of the state-owned Cottage Grove Airport included buying land for the muse- um. Skinner said she hopes to be able to lease the property necessary to build a 25,000 square –foot structure for virtually nothing.
