A friend sent me to www.pickensairport.com
It sure didn't look like that in '62.
I remember a rough dirt strip, jumping from SuperCub, going through a tree
and landing in a stream, at dusk in October.
We started jumping at the Clemson airport in Nov '63...... a grass
strip...... much better.

Am I loosing my mind or did they move it ?? ...... it was a dirt strip

It's big and paved now and slightly corporate after a big growth spurt
in Pickens, SC and Pickens County.

I fly over it occasionally on the way over the lakes to Clemson from
Hendersonville, NC.

Beautiful trip over mountains and valleys, btw, and Clemson has a great
little paved airport too.
