Millen Low-Country
Boil Fly-in
November 13, 2004 Again we had windy conditions and a low ceiling so fewer than ten aircraft were at the fly-in. However, more than 100 members, family and guests attended and had an enjoyable time. Even though they could not fly in, at least ten members of EAA Chapter 330 where there as well as some members from the Vidalia, Trenton and Sylvania flying groups. Mark Slone brought a trailer with some large tables to the Millen Airport on Friday and helped Keith Brock with some preparations. John Magnan came around 7:00 AM on Saturday and helped Keith set out some road signs since Keith had changed the entrance from its previous years’ location. Breakfast was prepared around 8:00 AM on Saturday for those who arrived early. Gina Brock started preparing her Gumbo and Marolyn and George Odom cooked their Gumbo so that both were ready by 10:00 AM. Tony and Mary Zorn flew their Kolb Mark III in on Friday and stayed overnight. The ceiling was around 600 feet on Saturday with a wind of about 10-15 mph. The first aircraft to fly in on Saturday was Thurmon Kent’s Cessna 120. Later on Jimmy Hankinson came in his Kolb Firefly, Billy Blackburn came in his Cessna 172, Ray Sheffield came in his RV-8A, Cale Odom came in his Cessna 170, Allen Derbecker came in his F-150. A couple others flew in. The meal started around 1:00 PM. By then over 100 people had arrived. After the meal there was plenty left over for a few to take some food home in Ziploc bags. Everyone there enjoyed the food an fellowship. After the meal Ed Brock flew more than 10 Young Eagles and quite a number of visitors in his two-seat Citabria. |

Boshears-Skyfest
2004
We had beautiful weather for both days of the 2004
Boshears-Skyfest which took place at Daniel Field (DNL) on Saturday-Sunday,
October 16-17.The Augusta Chronicle reported that the number of visitors to the Boshears-Skyfest 2004 was much higher than in 2003. The food trailer, under the direction of Social Director Maureen Rhodes, paid for its supplies and added considerably to the Club's coffers. Fay Allen, Ken Brooks, Sheila Connell, Betty Hammer, Teru Lapaquette, Kathy Parker and Steve Thompson assisted Maureen in preparing and serving the food. Club Vice-President Randy Powell's setup crew did an extraordinary job of preparing the various venue areas that EAA 172 participated in. On Thursday before Boshears, Tom Garcia and Steve Gay were digging holes and setting poles for the History Tent. The flight line crew did an excellent job especially in helping out after the Ultralight Aerobatic pilot John Moody's unfortunate crash on Sunday. Dennis Allen, Keith Brock, Tom Collins, Charlie Connell, Greg Connell, Terry Evans, Tom Garcia, Randy Powell and Steve Thompson were among the Flight Line crew. The aerial acts, arranged for by Larry Garner, were the main attractions. The acts included club member Gary Ward and his Giles 202. The People Movers had many more volunteers than the past couple years (last year there was only one!) and also contributed, after expenses, to the Club's treasury. The John Deere tractor-pulled flatbed trailers with seats were operating continuously throughout Boshears-Skyfest 2004. Among those helping out, either driving or taking donations and assisting passengers were Mike Boatright, Bobby Braswell, Richard Fender, Betty Hammer, Wade Hammer, Gary Harden, Jason Jarrard, Betty Jones, John Magnan, David Owings, Maureen Rhodes and Mark Slone The History Tent -- now the Betty Holmes History Tent -- had a high volume of visitors because of the memorial to her as well as the photos of the history of Daniel Field, World War II and Korean War pilots, scenes and aircraft. The displays were enhanced by the presence of those who were in those conflicts: World War II & Korean War veteran pilots Phil Colman, Joe Miles and Al Patton who manned it continuously throughout the weekend. The increase of visitors was also helped by the presence of the prize raffle box! Young Eagles Coordinator Larry Garner and his group of four pilots (including him) flew 90 Young Eagles during the weekend. The other pilots were David Reville, Spencer Veal and Brian Nelson. The latter two are from Augusta Aviation - and they donated the use of a C-172. Ground help included Ed Donner (sign-up) and Rita Garner (boarding schedule). Only two light aircraft showed up on Saturday -- Blair Kendall with his Trike and Ron Netzer and his Skyboy. Three ultralights flew in on Sunday. There were about twenty conventional fixed-wing aircraft on the flightline each day. More were parked just off the field perhaps for fear of Boshears visitors damaging them. |

B-17G Flying Fortress “Fuddy
Duddy” flights on September 14-15
Several club members helped out with the visit of the B-17 G Flying Fortress “Fuddy Duddy” on September 13, 14 and 15. September 13 was for the media. Among them were Larry Garner, Steve Thompson, Keith Brock, Tom Patton, Randy Powell, Fay Allen and Jennie and Brandi Powell. The food trailer was there along with some Aerospouses. There were several flights on Tuesday but only one on Wednesday because of the weather. Reports were that there was a steady flow of visitors especially on Tuesday. Our club received 25% of the visitor tour money and $30 for every flight made by EAA members. Our Chapter President, Steve Thompson, wrote "The B-17 visit was a successful venture. We didn't generate the flying patrons we had hoped for, but the afternoon tours did pretty well. The weather was the biggest factor for the three days it was here. It definitely wasn't a washout, and it gave us a way to get to know the folks at Bush Field a little better, and they were a great bunch of folks. Thanks to them!" "The best part of the time we were there was meeting and getting to know the guys with the B-17. Sam Bass was among them. He's the chief pilot to ferry Aluminum Overcast [the EAA B-17 that was damaged in a landing] back to Oshkosh. All the men with the B-17 were really interesting to talk with." |

Young Eagles Rally at Skyfest A Great Success
Larry Garner, the EAA
172 Young Eagles Coordinator, reported “Looks like our total
of Young Eagles flown at Skyfest on March 20th was 261 That total
breaks our record over last year’s 227 and exceeds our Chapter
goal of 250 for the year.”Larry tells the Young Eagles Flight leaders: “Thanks for your help Saturday. Without each of you, it would not have gone so well. Two pilots from EAA 242 out of Columbia, SC, came over to help (flying 48 total), along with two pilots from Augusta Aviation - it would have taken us much longer to fly everyone without those. One of the Chapter 242 pilots said he wished their wives would get more involved and that they are going to try our system for coordinating the flights and a standard route for the flight.” |

About 100 visitors from
Wrens and 20 club members were at the mini fly-in at the
Wrens Memorial Airport. The visitors brought more than 30 prospective
Young Eagles. Larry Garner was the only Young Eagles pilot and
he flew the twenty youngsters who were there between 10:00 AM and
1:00 PM. Allene Brown, the widow of O.B. Brown, was at the fly-in to view O.B.'s Challenger I on display, and also look at the new poster about O.B.'s flying career. She and other visitors looked at the two flying Nieuport 11 replicas at the airport and talked with their builders, Ralph Powell and Ray Trenter. About ten aircraft flew in. The weather was pleasant. To prepare for the fly-in Ralph Powell swept the hangar, washed O.B. Brown's Challenger 1 and moved the aircraft around in the hangar for display. Mark Slone cleaned the office and John Magnan made the signs and did other preparatory work. |
|
| The text of the "official" death announcement
does not convey the warmth and helpfullness that those
who knew O.B. received from him. During the last year and a half he had been undergoing different chemotherapies for cancer. During that time he kept as active as he could. He still helped out others and nearly daily continued his usual routine of breakfast at Peggy's restaurant in Wrens, Georgia. O.B. flew gyroplaness in the 1960s. There are photos of him on a gyroglider with pontoons. He also was a private pilot and belonged the the MCG Pilot's Club. He stopped flying about 15-20 years ago but in recent years he built his Challenger I ultralight which he flew to several flying club events, both EAA 172 and the rotorcraft club he belonged to, PRA Chapter 13. He was looking forward to the Sports Pilot so he could use his drivers license as a medical. He was going to get a two place Challenger sports plane. O.B. Brown was always willing to help out -- he used his motorgrader (no charge!) to fix up several people's airfields. He also worked on neighbor's roads. He was very interested in tractors -- he had some nicely restored ones which he had in a parade in Wrens a year or two ago. Recently he worked with a club member restoring an old tractor. He was very knowledgeable about many mechanical things. He also knew about the history of the Augusta area -- he had traveled that area for many years selling insurance. Any time one drove someplace with him he could give the history of the area that was being traveled -- what buildings were there at one time, what family lived in a certain place and so on. He belonged to the Wrens Airport Group and kept his Challenger I ultralight at the Wrens, Georgia, airport hangar. He built the Challenger I in his home hangar and based it at Wrens. Finally, he told one club member that only his mother had ever called him Olin. He was O.B. to all who knew him. |

Before the meeting
we were treated to a fantastic Taco Stew prepared by
Bob Rhodes using his “secret ingredients.” We ate the meal
at tables decorated with Valentine’s Day decorations set out
by the Aerospouses. The meeting was called to order by President
Steve Thompson at 7:15PM. There were 37 members and guests at
the meeting. We welcomed Ray Wiggins, a new member. Treasurer
Tom Garcia reported that there was $160 in the Kitty and he had collected
$260 in dues to give us $5938.05 in the treasury. Steve reminded
the members that the club would like them to donate large photos,
perhaps 8" x 10", of them with their aircraft. These would be placed
around the upper part of the main clubhouse room.
Old Business: Al Patton
asked members to make sure they gave him information about
any aircraft they had built or restored so he can list them
on the aircraft plaque in the clubhouse.
Members discussed Betty Holmes’
funeral. One of the music selections was appropriately
“Fly Me to the Moon.”
Steve talked more about the STOL
kit. He said that the very small airfoil change produced
large difference. Before putting on the kit the Cessna 172's
stall speed was around 50 mph. Afterwards it was 40 mph and
not a “real stall” just the nose dropping a bit. Climb out was at
around 48 mph. Steve said perhaps one or two mph was lost in cruise.
New Business: Steve asked
members to bring their aircraft to the Fish Fry Fly-in
on Saturday, March 13. We will be eating around 1:00 PM.
Larry Garner talked about KidsFest
which will be held at Daniel Field on March 20. We will
be flying Young Eagles and we need pilots to help out. The food
trailer will be there since Papa John’s pizza can’t be there.
Also there will be a Lindbergh exhibit shown by the Augusta
museum for ten weeks – March 6 to May 23. It cost the museum about
$80,000 to get it there. They will need gallery attendants to help
out for four hours or eight hours or whatever. Contact Larry if
you can help. Also, Larry will be flying Boy Scouts on February 21st
for Young Eagles flights and needs one more pilot to help out.
Larry Garner talked about the
new AWOS phone number that lets you call up any airport
in the country [see the information in this newsletter].
Randy Powell said that the next
social get-together would be on February 26th at Famous
Dave’s Berbecue on Washington Road, across from Hooters.
Program: Keith Brock talked
about aviation safety. He brought a piece of his aircraft
that he broke – after dropping about two feet upon landing.
He had been distracted a bit. We should always think about what
we do and why we do it while flying.
Keith also talked about his trip
to Melrose Landing where he had a great visit with Richard
and Judy
Fender.
Al Newman moved that the meeting
adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 8:15 PM.

We started out
the evening with a fine meal starting at about 6:30
PM. We were treated to Keith Brock’s Jumbalai garnished with
Fay Allen’s corn and Sheila Connell’s scratch home-made vegetable
soup. The meeting was called to order by President Steve Thompson
at 7:27 PM. There were 46 members and guests at the meeting.
Treasurer Tom Garcia reported that there was $98.75 in the Kitty
and he had collected $735 in dues to give us more than $6000 in the
treasury. Steve asked that someone should send him a current list
of members. Secretary John Magnan agreed to do this. Steve also asked
that members provide him with large photos, perhaps 8-1/2" x 11" of
them with their aircraft. These would be placed around the upper part
of the main clubhouse room.
President Thompson also asked for someone in the club
to be a volunteer club photographer. He also said that the
next Social Meeting would be on Thursday, January 22nd, at the
Olive Garden in Augusta.
Old Business: Members
agreed on obtaining a George Foreman grill. The cost
of $106.99 was agreed on unanimously by the club.
New Business: Steve
said that he looked over some material and saw that we
pay a small annual fee to the Pea Patch Corporation for
the use of the land on which the clubhouse is situated. Keith
Brock brought up the cost of the trash service the Pea Patch
corporation has to pay for. EAA 172 uses that service. Suggestions
were made to pay a portion of the garbage/trash pickup fee.
After some discussion the members agreed unanimously to pay the
Pea Patch Corporation $25 a month.
Someone mentioned a STOL kit
for a Cessna 172 he had seen – 400 foot take off. The
kit is about $1000 and 40 hours of installation work.
Program: Al Patton
narrated a video of the old Pea Patch with some clips
from 1976-1985.
At the next meeting we will
have Bob Rhodes’ Taco stew. Also Maureen Rhodes will
have the clubhouse decorated for Valentine’s day which is
a couple days after the February meeting.
Al Newman moved that the meeting
adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 8:10 PM.
Steve wants to put these photos, at least 5" x 7" (even 8" x 10" glossies!) around the top of the wall in the main room of the clubhouse.
So
. . . please send your photos of you with your pride and joy
(not your spouse, YOUR AIRCRAFT) to Steve or leave it at the
Clubhouse in the top of the lectern.
There was no regular meeting. The Christmas Party was held at the EAA 172 Clubhouse at the Pea Patch Aerodrome.
More than 70 members and guests enjoyed the tremendous feast. The turkey and ham were prepared by Rich Gabor and Don Murphy. There were enough meats, sidedishes and desserts for another 100 people!
Al Newman gave the blessing and the eating started at 6:37 PM. After nearly an hour of dinner President Larry Garner gave out awards for the outstanding EAA 172 members for 2003. These members were:

He also gave an award gift to Secretary and Webmaster John Magnan for the work he has done as secretary and also on the EAA 172 Website. Secretary John Magnan presented plaques to outgoing officers Vice-President Keith Brock and President Larry Garner.
Members were asked to keep Treasurer Tom Garcia in their prayers -- he is now at St. Joseph Hospital undergoing care for an intestinal problem. Also members were asked to keep Loraine Schoenfelder in their prayers.
President Garner thanked everyone for the toys and money given for the MCG children. He reminded everyone about the EAA 172 $20 dues that should be given or mailed to Treasurer Tom Garcia. Also Larry mentioned the work on the Clubhouse that still must be decided on and finished. He said that Gerald Ballard’s party the next weekend (between 6:00 - 7:00) at Twin Lakes has the admission fee of a toy for the Toys for Tots campaign. Larry also thanked everyone for the support he was given as president over the past two years and welcomed incoming President Steve Thompson and Vice-President Randy Powell.
Al Newman moved to adjourn the short business meeting. The motion passed and the meeting adjourned at 7:45 PM.
Old Business:
The principal topic was the Millen Fly-in November 8th. Keith
Brock talked about various needs and responsibilities for the
fly-in. If bringing food go into the chain link fenced yard. Guest
parking will be the north side of the hangar. Ice is already at
the airport. The Bonfire will be on the south side. Marilyn Odom will
have seafood Gumbo and Gina Brock will have chicken & sausage gumbo
around 10:00 - 11:00 AM. Charlie Connell and Randy Powell will handle
the airplanes. A golf cart will be a “follow me” vehicle. Millen has enough
tables but the chairs will still have to go. There will be breakfast between
7:00 - 8:00 AM. Bob Rhodes will get the potatoes, corn and sausage. Al
Newman asked if we could land into the wind. He was assured that we could.
Keith said the motorhomes would come in around the pine tree area.
Larry Garner said that Young Eagles would be flown in the morning. Keith recommended purchasing $400 worth of shrimp this year. Keith also reminded the members that it would be “safety first” at the fly in so that we would have no incidents.
The work on the clubhouse was brought up. Rich Gabor and Larry Garner said that some changes were made so the planning committee will “regroup” to decide on options.
New Business: Tom Collins said that the food trailer needs a “George Foreman” grill. After a short discussion Rita Garner moved to purchase the grill. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously.
Larry said that since Don Gay’s party was at 1:00 PM on December 6th and Gerald Ballard’s party was on December13th and that our club wanted to have its own party, we could have ours at 6:00 PM on December 6th at the Pea Patch Clubhouse. The membership approved this.
Al Patton announced the slate of EAA 172 officers chosen by the nominating committee. Al moved to accept the slate. Keith Brock seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. The following members were elected for 2004:
President: Steve Thompson
Vice-President: Randy Powell
Secretary: John Magnan
Treasurer: Tom Garcia
Al Newman moved that the meeting adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 8:04 PM.

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.
