Key Takeaways:

Triple Tree Aerodrome (SC00) is a private field, accessible only during scheduled general aviation fly-in events, requiring pilots to choose alternative airports for the Greenville-Spartanburg area.
Laurens County Airport (KLUX) is a nontowered, dog-friendly option offering a 4,051-foot runway and 24/7 self-serve 100LL fuel.
Spartanburg Downtown Memorial Airport (KSPA), the oldest airport in South Carolina, features a 5,852-foot runway, 100LL and Jet-A fuel, and hosts flight schools and glider operations.

If you’re not attending a fly-in at the Triple Tree Aerodrome, you will need to choose another airport for your trip to the area, since SC00 reverts to a private field outside of the Triple Tree organization’s scheduled general aviation (GA) fly-in events. Also, pilots cannot fly in for radio control (RC)-only events at the Aerodrome. There are three more options for flying into the region around Greenville-Spartanburg, in addition to these two choices, which sit a bit closer to Triple Tree.
