2000 Low-Country Boil Fly-in
TREMENDOUS TURNOUT AT MILLEN LOW-COUNTRY BOIL

The Third Annual Millen Low-Country Boil Fly-in held at the Millen-Jenkins County Airport on Saturday, November 11th,was the best ever according to host Keith Brock whose trailer business, Brock Equipment Co.,  is right across the road from the airport. The weather was pleasant with clear skies and little wind. Fifty-three aircraft were on the field. This included two powered parachutes and one trike. Several ultralights flew in. Among them were Rich Gabor in his Pup, John Sligar in his CGS Hawk and Terry Stout in his Phantom. The day started out with a delicious Gumbo prepared by Fly-in co-host Gina Brock. Around noon there was a missing man formation in honor of Mark Thompson. This was flown by Dennis Allen, Ron Netzer and Mark’s brother, Steve. Steve flew the missing man slot in his brother’s Cessna. After the missing man formation the meal started with a blessing given by Sondy Lawrence who memorialized Mark Thompson. The nearly 200 members and guests enjoyed the low-country boil repast while being entertained by the aerobatics of Charlie Davis in his Red Baron Skybolt and Gary Ward in his Giles 202. Young Eagles Coordinator Larry Garner and other pilots flew some new Young Eagles. EAA 172 President Rich Gabor thanked the host and co-host Keith and Gina Brock for the event which “brings together more EAA 172 members than any other fly-in.”
