Airports Found - Virtually Nothing Known Except What's Below

The sod strip was a bit short but adequate for a lightly-loaded light twin. 162 Reedy Fork Road. It is about 3 miles due north of the Aiken County Airport. Info provided in January 2019 by CBB.

There are two airstrips, neighbors, and not owned by the same person shown on the Aiken County GIS just west of Hamlin Road, just north of I-20 and only about 3/4 miles NWN of the Aiken County Airport. The North-South strip is fairly obviously an airport with a hangar owned by Lewis and Elizabeth Purvis. The other East-West strip is not improved as an airstrip, it is probably just a grassy long statement entrance parkway. Info provided in January 2019 by CBB.

This charming farm airstrip is on the aptly named 465 Skyland Farm Road about 3 miles due north of Williston, SC, just inside Aiken County. It is owned by Jeremy Walther. Info provided in January 2019 by CBB.
