LADIES visiting Triple Tree:
On Saturday, October 11, you are invited to
FALL FOR GREENVILLE & LIVE WITH YOUR AIRPLANE.
(
www.fallforgreenville.net) (www.chandellesc.com)
We have two vans provided by Michelin North America (headquartered in Greenville) and will take
you on a first-come-first-served basis on an excursion into beautiful downtown Greenville, followed by
house tours at Chandelle Aviation Estates.
Leaving Triple Tree at 10:00AM, we will drive and then walk around downtown Greenville, enjoying
the well-known Falls Park, the tree-lined Main Street, art studios, and various unique shops: Michelin
On Main, Pink Azalea, The Mast General Store, and O.P. Taylor's Toy Store, to name a few. You will
find Main Street alive that weekend with the annual restaurant tasting event, Fall for Greenville, and
will be free to make your lunch selections from the many unique restaurant offerings. You might also
have an opportunity to feed a few crumbs to the mice on Main Street. These little mice sculptures
sprang from the children's story “Goodnight Moon” and are now the subjects of a just-published
children's book, “Mice on Main.”
Around 1:30-2:00 we will drive back toward Triple Tree and stop at Chandelle Aviation Estates to meet
some of the ladies there and visit their homes and hangars. Dessert will be served at one of the homes
before our return to Triple Tree around 4:00.
Space is limited, so pre-register with Judy at
rv8builder2@tripletreeflyin.com or report in at eithergazebo before 10:00 on Saturday the 11
th for a fun day on the town.
What Makes Triple Tree Different?
As you drive through the Triple Tree Aerodrome entrance, a winding paved drive takes you to a vista where you suddenly look out over 440+acres of rolling hills. A 50-acre lake, stocked for fishing, lies near the center of the property. A 10,000 sq ft hanger connects to a large patio used for cookouts and a grand BBQ supper on Saturday night. Visitors can sit near the large outdoor fireplace and watch the sun set over the lake.
Triple Tree Aerodrome is located between the towns of Woodruff and Enoree SC on Mary Hanna Road, Woodruff, SC 29388. The FAA Identifier is SC00 (that is zero, zero).
Latitude: 34 degrees 40.499 minutes north (34-40.99N). Longitude: 081 degrees 59.734 minutes west (081-59.734W).
On the green manicured lawn, you will find two gazebos, one at the upper end and one at the lower end of the property for swinging, resting, and enjoying the breeze.
The irrigated runway is comprised of lush Bermuda grass and is 400ft wide and 7000ft long. It has a unique taxiway through the woods, allowing aircraft to exit without disturbing the parking area.
Part of the taxiway is across an earthen dam and around a 5-acre duck pond. The Enoree River adjoins the southern side of the property. The river is suitable for kayaking, sunning, and other water activities. Approximately 6 miles of hiking trials are on the property.
A restored World War II Air Force control tower is used as advisory for arriving and departing aircraft during the week of the fly-in. Fuel and help with minor repairs will be available.
Campers with motor homes or tents are welcome to come and enjoy this beautiful country. Private bathhouses are located near the two camping areas at the upper and lowers ends of the property. Triple Tree is close enough to both Greenville and Spartanburg for those who wish to enjoy a variety of motels, restaurants, shopping, or other activities.
You and your fellow airplane enthusiasts can enjoy the camaraderie, music, photography, an old-fashion BBQ, and hospitality in the best southern tradition.
We have worked for 11 years to make this place a special place for what we feel is a world-class event. This fly-in is an offspring of the Joe Nall Fly-In (large scale radio control event) which has become the biggest model airplane event on earth, and which is always held in May, the weekend after Mother’s Day. The skills which have been honed from 26 years of the Joe Nall, have come to fruition in this Triple Tree Aerodrome Fly-In for full scale airplanes. Join us at Triple Tree for this fabulous event!
