“At Triple Tree we make money to keep the lights on, pay for fertilizer, and keep our mowers running, but our bottom line is different. We are in the people business and airplanes just happen to show up. Our success has been and always will be relationships and that special feeling that can only be found at Triple Tree.”
Triple Tree
The perfect flying day
What is your definition of a perfect flying day? Mine is a cross-country that includes a get-together with fellow aviators while making new friends, then a meal accompanied by a round or two of hangar flying tales. Add to that a chance to look at a lot of interesting aircraft and finally a safe return home. That’s exactly the day I had visiting Triple Tree Aerodrome in South Carolina.

Fun, friendship, and Southern hospitality
If you’ve been to the Triple Tree Fly-In, you make it an annual getaway. If you haven’t, raise your standards. Treat yourself to Triple Tree.
Young aviators soar at Triple Tree
I often tell people, “If you want to feel positive about life, just turn off the news and go hang out with a group of young people who are passionate about aviation.” There’s no better opportunity to practice this than the Triple Tree Aerodrome Young Aviators’ Fly-In in Woodruff, South Carolina.

Robert Butterfield submitted this photo and note: “My camp site at Triple Tree Aerodrome (SC00) in South Carolina. The first flight over the Blue Ridge Mountains to this pristine airport. With the back seat removed in my 1956 Piper Tri Pacer, a tent, sleeping bag, and electric scooters made a trip well appreciated.”
Triple Tree Aerodrome’s 15th full-scale fly-in
The annual fall fly-in at Triple Tree Aerodrome in South Carolina is all about fun, flying, and fellowship.
A pilot’s paradise
For those pilots who couldn’t make the 2022 fly-in at Triple Tree Aerodrome, you can visit virtually by checking out a new vide by John Rob Holland. The 10-minute video covers the entire week at Triple Tree, which officials call a “pilot’s paradise.”
