History of the Millington Barnstormers

The club was started in 1989 with the help of some people working in Millington and modelers of other clubs. With an agreement by Browning Farris these guys were allowed to use the field on Sykes Rd. Rocky Krantz, Victor Laurent, Roy Wright and the Brown brothers, just to name a few, started flying off of the road that ran from south to north on the west end of the airfield. They did not have any awnings or tables as we do today. By the second season the club membership had grown to approximately 12 members. Several of these members worked in construction and along with Browning Farris donated materials to build the awning and to pour the concrete floor. In fact some the names are written in the concrete at the west end of the pavilion. The membership continued to grow and help the club progress. When members from another club joined, including a man by the name of Jim Prilliman, the club really started to evolve with the establishment of Pylon racing and Fun-Fly contest. The Millington Barnstormers recently named there airfield after Mr. Jim Prilliman (Prilliman Field). You see this club is really a result of a bunch of great people. Modelers and individuals who wanted a nice environment to promote friendship, interests and participation in the R/C hobby.
