SPARC club members will be operating remotely for a special events station for the 18th Annual Triple Tree Fly-in in Woodruff, SC. We had great fun in 2023, but missed the 2024 fly-in due to Hurricane Helene. 2025 is expected to be a great time for all who participate. We are still in the planning stages, so check back in with us as the event approaches for more information.
