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.

On Jan. 20, the federal government shutdown when leg-
islators failed to come to an agreement on funding and
arguments over immigration continued. Oregon sena-
tors Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden joined 18 senators
in voting against efforts to prevent a shutdown, citing

as children.
