Hey folks I got permission, and a promise of some help, to hold an RV gathering here at Charleston Executive (JZI).
It is about 20 mins South of downtown Charleston and all it has to offer, there are rental cars at the airport but if we have a crowd they will need more.
It is an old WW2 airfield run by the County. Even has the ruins of a Civil War fort on it!
It is also about the same drive to Kiawah Island where I live.
Great Beach, 10 miles long.
We can have local Carolina Pulled Pork or BBQ for lunch at the airport and the FBO is really nice inside!. Not big enough to hold us all though. I'll need to line up a hangar for us to eat in.
They will offer a lower gas price than normal.
He told me to pick a date and we will get started on it!?
Best time of year here is before or after "Tourist Season" which runs May-Oct but really drops off after Labor Day.
So, April or early May otherwise after Labor Day but before Thanksgiving.
Was thinking maybe around Sun N Fun? Pit stop along the way?
Unfortunately camping with your plane is not an option. Between the bugs and the gators you would be at too much risk overnight laying out at the field.
So you'd either need to plan on making it for the day or if you want to make a weekend of it you can rent a hotel in Downtown Charleston, or a Villa on the beach on Kiawah!
Let us know, Beata is a local Realtor!
