AOPA Oasis at Triple Tree

Land on the 7,000-foot grass runway, camp out on the 400-acre idyllic property, and join fellow aviation enthusiasts for one of the premier events on the East Coast. Triple Tree (SC00) becomes the busiest airport in South Carolina for this fantastic event.

In creating his aviation playground, Pat Hartness was adamant that Triple Tree serve two purposes: A great general aviation airport and a great remote control airport. So, there’s a special area for flying and viewing RC aircraft. There’s a 54-acre lake for seaplanes, and sand areas along the lake for RC seaplane operations. The Tifway 419 Bermuda grass runway is mowed every 48 hours with a special mower the staff designed. Named “Deere John,” it’s a 36-foot-wide, tractor-pulled device with 12 10-horsepower rotary heads that can mow the giant runway in just a couple of passes.

AOPA will have a hospitality tent—an “Oasis”—for visitors to get out of the sun, view college sports games on big-screen TVs, flight plan on our computers, and share camaraderie with AOPA staff. Hang out with us, share a beverage, and talk with our team.

Visitors and attendees to Triple Tree are treated to first-class amenities. There’s a well-appointed clubhouse, Mediterranean-style patio with a pizza oven, an open-air bar and dance floor, gazebos, RV hookups for every size, six miles of walking trails, and a full-service bathhouse replete with large shower stalls and granite countertops.

Bring your own tiedowns and remember there is no fuel on site. Pilot information is on the website and has detailed instructions for arrivals and departures. 

AOPA welcomes members to join us at this wonderful event.
