Jun 2019 Terri Minter (Oregon)
Terri Minter is based at Starks Twin Oaks Airport, 7S3, near Hillsboro, Oregon. Check out this update and the new bird Terri’s flying!
Terri and her Cessna 170B
I’ve owned four airplanes, all of which have been Cessna taildraggers. My current airplane is a Cessna 170B, customized for camping.
Ratings: PPL, High Performance
Aircraft flown: Cessna 120, Cessna 140, Cessna 170B
Dream taildragger: My current airplane is a dream to me, my C170B. I love it!
Thoughts on taildragging: I appreciate the versatility of being able to land on pavement, a farmer’s field or a gravel bar.

“June 14, 2013: Today I earned my TW endorsement! Yahoo… A few weeks ago I purchased my first airplane. My 1946 Cessna 120 was flown home with a friend of mine from Phoenix. It was the most memorable vacation of my life. It was so exciting seeing fantastic scenery and learning more about cross-country flying. I simply can’t stop smiling.”
“Thanks to my dear friend for helping me find just the right taildragger and flying us home safe, all while having a wonderful time together. I’m looking forward to discovering grass strips, suitable for my little C85 hp bird, for camping and picnics!”

I am a private pilot and rent a 172 out of a small airpark near Portland, Oregon. Â I have taken a few lessons in a taildragger and love them. Â I am a low hour pilot, maybe 120 hours. Â Â I have been taking lessons to get my endorsement, but have not completed it yet. Â Weather getting in the way in Portland. Â Photo is in a 172 tricycle gear. Â

We ought to meet for breakfast at Mulino or Independence – once the weather is flyable! It seemed perfect today: clear, bright, and calm- at least it was at Sandy River Airport, where I hangar. But up in the air at 2500′ msl, there was a solid cloud layer from Estacada south, and from Grove (Camas) north. So I just did some “sightseeing” up the Gorge. It was glorious!
Hope that we get to connect sometime in the future.

Come fly in to Dietz Airpark sometime – ’cause that’s where I live.
Or – circle the Hubbard Post Office and i promise to come out and wave.
Happy tailwinds.
