The Fourth Annual Millen Low-Country Boil Fly-in, held at the Millen-Jenkins
County Airport on Saturday, November 10th,was the best ever according to
most everyone who attended. Ninety aircraft, some coming in late (just
in time to miss the delicious Low-Country Boil), were on the field. This
included many ultralights, powered parachutes and Trikes as well as antiques,
classics,home-built, and certified aircraft. A couple of twins were there
including Leroy and Betty Dant’s Aztec and John Quinn’s Queenaire. Powered
parachute BFIs there were Pat Thaxton and Bear Perkins. Gary Waggoner,
an ultralight BFI, flew in with his Titan Tornado. The Wrens airport crowd
flew in. This included Ralph Powell with his Thorp T-18, Duane Brooks with
his Kolb, John Sligar with his Phantom, Terry Stout with his Phantom, and
Steve Sipper with his Kitfox. Many Pea Patch inhabitants came in including
Dennis Allen with his Cessna 172, Rich Gabor with his Pup, Everett Parks
with his Luscombe, Richard Fender with his SeaRey and Charlie Connell.
Young Eagles Coordinator Larry Garner arranged for Young Eagles flights
for several local youngsters. They were flown by Betty and Leroy Dant in
their Aztec. That evening some stayed for the bonfire -- which had flames
leaping up at least thirty feet. It was so hot that no one roasted their
hotdogs or cooked marshmellows with it but had the boiled hot dogs in the
hangar. Host and Hostess Keith and Gina Brock were pleased with the turnout
as was EAA 172 President Rich Gabor who thanked all the participants for
the fly-in that was the best and most well attended event in 2001.
