Minnetta Gardinier - IOW

Private pilot (2004), instrument rated (2006)
N1351C - 1978 Cessna Cardinal Classic (C177 FG)

I have flown for over 800 hours in the 7 years that I have been flying.  My farthest ranges are Duluth MN (north), Mansfield MA (east), Ft. Myers FL (south), and Bozeman MT (west).

I have flown in the Air Race Classic three times - 2008, 2009, and 2010.  Linda Moody was my co-pilot in 2008 and 2009, and she pilots a Skyhawk out of Nashua NH (ASH).  We were the "Wild Women of the Wind".

In 2010, Deb McGee from the Iowa 99s offered to fly as co-pilot for the Air Race Classic run from Ft. Myers FL to Frederick MD.  As Classic 39, we were "IOwa Women Aviate!"  Deb flies a Piper Cherokee PA28-180 with her husband, Dan, out of Knowxville IA.

I have used these flying adventures to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (NMSS).  Check out our race websites (above) for more details.
