Hi there, does anyone have any comments on airports around the Columbia, SC
area? My wife and I are thinking of making a trip to Columbia this coming
Friday, and we need some comments and advice on where to land and park the
airplane overnight. We have friends and local transportation already
available.

Thanks.

Simon,

I flew into Columbia Metropolitan (CAE), the main airport, in my C172
last summer. Parked at Eagle Aviation for a week. I was treated very
well, and can highly recommend that FBO. The airport seems to be very
GA friendly. The departure controller was very nice when I decided I
needed a popup clearance about ten minutes after I took off.
