Pickens County Airport Tour

August 23, 2009

 

The front of the new terminal for pilots and passengers.

Passenger drop off and pick up, enhanced by rustically- 
classic landscaping.

Host for the airport tour was Tim Sullivan, van and motorcycle driver, bus driver, and airplane pilot!

Pickens Airport Director Skeets Cooper shares the projected growth, lengthening of the runway and addition of more large hangars.

Jim Justice, Chief Flight Instructor for Keowee Flying School, explains how pilots use the weather radar and aeronautical  map to file a flight plan, to John Chandler and  Michael Johnson.

Pilots use these things to make a flight plan.

Cozy as your living room, this waiting area and lobby provides a friendly greeting for visitors.

More of the waiting room......with a great view of the runway.

The control room is usually manned by Trad Julian at the radio.

Dinner provided by Jill Sullivan is enjoyed by all.
