Triple Tree first visit for Chilly Chili

[mhrivnak]

I made my first visit yesterday to Triple Tree Aerodrome in western South Carolina for their Chilly Chili fly-in. I saw at least two other Mooneys there among to 200+ aircraft that visited. As others have said in other threads, the 7000ft grass runway is smoother than many paved runways. The taxi to and from parking also wasn't bad; the grass was fairly short, so it was easy to see the contour of the ground.

There was a lot of traffic on the arrival, and many people were not following the prescribed route very well, but it worked out. I was thankful to have another pilot in the right seat to keep an eye on traffic, especially when a Cessna turned early base and cut us (and at least 4 others) off. At least they exited the runway quickly, and the pilot was nice enough to apologize after we parked.
