Triple Tree Fly-In 2008

The Second Annual Fly-In at the Triple Tree Aerodrome (SC00) ran from October 8-12 2008. This is not your port-a-potty and picnic table kind of fly-in. 

No, siree. Triple Tree Aerodrome is owned by Pat and Marylou Hartness and the airfield is best known for hosting radio-controlled airplane events.  Pat bought the tower for $100 from a nearby military airfield and had it cut into quarters from top to bottom and reassembled on the Triple Tree airstrip. He won’t say how much that effort cost. This grass strip has a tower manned by volunteers from the Greenville, SC tower, like Sonny Massey.

Surrounding the grass strip lies 400 acres of lush camp ground, two small lakes, a wooden pavilion, two wooden restroom buildings, a large building on the crest of a hill overlooking the north lake that has a walk-in fireplace and kitchen, and an army of friendly volunteers.

Volunteer greeter Carol McKinney told about the radio-controlled airplane events held on the field that features one quarter-, one-third and even half-scale models. The power to weight ratio is off the scale for these models. Carol referred to the October fly-in as a full-scale model event.

Greenville Jet Center supplied a fuel trailer and a van for the event and Michelin supplied wheel chocks, tote bags and other supplies. The local chapter of the Civil Air Patrol sent a group of volunteers to help and a VHF Comm Radio for the control tower.
