Oconee County Regional Airport is a county-owned municipal airport in Oconee County, South Carolina, 3miles west of Clemson.[1] Clemson University's Flying Club and the Flying Tigers Skydiving Club are based at the airport. The non-profit 401(c)(7) Golden Corner Flying Club LLC is based here. During football season, the airport sees a spike in activity, due to its proximity to the University and Memorial Stadium.[2]

Facilities and aircraft

Oconee County Regional Airport covers an area of 262acres at an elevation of 891feet above mean sea level. It has one asphalt paved runway designated 7/25 which measures 5,000 by 100 feet (1,524 x 30 m).[1]

The airport has plans to extend west the existing runway to an ultimate length of 6,000 ft. This would require the repositioning of Shiloh Road in Oconee County.
