On February 5th, Minter Field celebrated 80 years of its dedication. In 1942, Minter Field formally got its name. The army air corp base in Lerdo was named after Lieutenant Hugh C Minter, a Bakersfield Resident who was killed in a midair plane crash. The name was to memorialize the family that came to Kern County in 1854. It's been 80 years since the dedication, so Minter Field celebrated this milestone with an open house and recognitions.
