Joe Nall Week, May 12-19, Triple Tree Aerodrome, Woodruff, SC

[Chuck Baker]

Hello, from Mr. Pat and all of the Triple Tree volunteers! Yes, it's time to CRANK IT UP for Joe Nall 2018. Go get your favorite RC models, clean them up, tune them up and make sure you and they are ready for the best flying to be had anywhere! For 2018, we've got some great new additions to the already unbelievable Triple Tree facility. We have more camping sites, an even prettier lower lake, a brand new large women's bathhouse (down by the 3D line) that features a 140-foot-long covered porch that faces the runway AND, here it comes, AN AIRCONDITIONED PILOT'S LOUNGE! Where else could you go and meet up with your best friends, fly your favorite RC, see the world's best pilots flying the world's best airplanes AND have your wife truly enjoy it too? There is just no comparison when it comes to fabulous grounds and facilities at Triple Tree! Everyone in your family will find something that will make this a trip of a lifetime for them.
The vendor area has been recently improved and we expect it to be filled with the world's best vendors. Bring your wish list because just about anything you could possibly want will be here and many offer special Joe Nall prices.
As always, the noon shows will feature the absolute best pilots in the world demonstrating some of the most incredible RC aircraft.
It's all here... Scale Planes, Giant Scale, Jets, Float Flying, Helicopters, FPV Racing, Park Flyers and Control Line Flying.
Exceptional is the norm at Joe Nall and every year it gets better. This year will be no different. The food is going to be incredible. Imagine experiencing world-famous Joe Nall barbeque while listening to the big band play "America the Beautiful" as the sun goes down on the Triple Tree lake. It's an experience you don't want to miss.
We've done our work over the winter to make Joe Nall 2018 the best ever. Now, it's time for you to do your part. Please don't delay, take the time now to pre-register for this great event.
This year you can register by snail mail or our new online registration.

We can't wait to welcome all of our friends back to Joe Nall!
See you soon!

UNPRECEDENTED RAIN FORECAST FORCES CANCELLATION OF LAST DAYS OF JOE NALL

After more than three decades of spectacular weather during the world-famous Joe Nall RC event, the forecast for the remainder of the week has forced the board to make the decision to cancel the event and have everyone off the beautiful Triple Tree grounds not later than noon, Tuesday, May 15. This is a very difficult decision and one that was taken only after carefully considering our guest's safety. As many of you are aware, Triple Tree is over four hundred acres of beautifully manicured grass that can easily handle single, short-lived rainstorms, however, rain totals of 4-6 inches are forecast beginning Tuesday afternoon. The rain is not expected to end until sometime after the following Monday. With this amount of water, the camping areas and roads will quickly become impassible. Sudden, heavy rain events could also cause localized flooding in the river area.

As a group, Mr. Pat and the dedicated Triple Tree volunteers work their hearts out to give you, our guests, the very best aviation experience. This cancellation could significantly impact our financial health unless our friends decide to donate their fees from this year's Nall. If you can help us by doing so, please do. Triple Tree is a 501c(3) non-profit so your donation could be tax deductible. Many have already done so, and we greatly appreciate it. As you know, we invest every cent back into Triple Tree. We are always trying to make your experience better and more enjoyable. The new ladies bathhouse and pilot's lounge is just the latest example.

Thanks again for your understanding. It's a tough decision but the safety of our guests will always come first!
