traynhr Posted March 25, 2013 Report Posted March 25, 2013 Everyone, When's the last time you went to an airport and felt that an airport, the people and the airplanes were just pure magic? Remember how airports used to be welcoming, exciting and special? Well, there's a place just like that only better and it belongs to all of us aviators as it has been placed in a 501©3 trust by Pat Hartness so that it can be here for generations to come. This has got to be the most incredible gift to aviation ever! It's called Triple Tree Aerodrome ( identifier is SC00/near Woodruff, SC) and there's going to be a fly-in there on Sept 4-8 and the entire GA community is invited. The runway is 7000 ft. long and golf green smooth! You can fly in for the day or stay the entire time. Beautiful camping facilities are available (including granite counter tops in the shower facilities). There's even a beach along the Enoree River. This is truly kid friendly. How about a stocked fishing lake for the kids...it's here. Got an amphib? There's a lake to land on. Hotels are available nearby for those not into camping. Rental cars...Yes! Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very, very special place and event. Please see the below link for more info. We'd love to have every Mooney in existence show up for this fly in! We all sit back and say aviation just isn't as "special" as it used to be.... well, it is at Triple Tree! Please support this fly-in and the future of Triple Tree by coming and enjoying the finest general aviation facility in the world. I promise you will leave truly excited about the future of our passion - FLYING! http://www.tripletreeaerodrome.com/ Rob Quote
Jeff_S Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 While obviously a bit marketing-oriented, I would agree with the above post. The Triple Tree fly in is a unique and special event for Labor Day flying. Quote

Parker_Woodruff Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 Parker's home town??? SC00/near Woodruff, SC -a- there's a Parker Medical Supply in Woodruff, SC. Some other Parker Woodruff in Austin, TX is starting to make a presence in Google search...uh-oh... Quote
Hank Posted March 26, 2013 Report Posted March 26, 2013 I read glowing reviews of RC Aircraft fly-ins at Triple Tree every year. Been trying to get down there, may have to pack up and go this year. The current Model Aviation has another writeup about the field itself. You name it, they've got it. "Build it and they will come" works if you build it right. [Granite counters in the campground showers??? I'm coming, even the wife will approve!] Quote
traynhr Posted March 27, 2013 Author Report Posted March 27, 2013 Sorry if my write up came across as marketing oriented....honestly, I'm just personally excited and passionate about the place. It really, really is an "aviation field of dreams". There a huge group of volunteers that feel strongly enough about it also to work their hearts out just to make certain you have a good time. Come try it. We'd love to have a BIG group of Mooney's show up Sept. 4-8. Rob Quote
carusoam Posted March 27, 2013 Report Posted March 27, 2013 Rob, welcome aboard! Your writing is so professional, it was read as a marketing ploy. The place sounds like an aviators paradise I hope you get a great turn-out. Best regards, -a- Quote
