LOW COUNTRY
BOIL FLY-IN
Millen Airport, November
8, 2003
A low ceiling, some misty rain
and windy conditions put a damper on the Low Country Boil Fly-in at the
Millen Airport, November 8th. But the weather cleared up enough for
more than thirty aircraft to fly in to this annual event. Three ultralights
were able to fly in: Howard Shackleford with his Kolb Firestar, John Sligar
with his Challenger I and Terry Stout with his Rans S-14. Blair Kendall
was there with his Tukon Trike. Among the larger aircraft were various Cessnas,
a Cirrus SR-22, a Citabria, a Colt, a Navion, a Sea Rey, a Skybolt and several
other aircraft At least 150 people enjoyed the breakfast at 7:00 AM, two Gumbos
-- Marilyn Odom’s and GinaBrock's -- at 10:00 AM and the main Low Country
Boil meal at 1:00 PM. Among the visitors were seven members of EAA 330 –
the Briar Patch group. Because of the weather they drove in.
Though there was no bonfire at least ten people stayed on into
the evening hoping for an opening in the cloud layer so they could
see the full Lunar Eclipse (they didn't!).
