Eagleville Sailplanes                                          Eagleville, TN


    Eagleville Sailplanes is a commercial glider operation located in
    beautiful Middle-Tennessee at Puckett Gliderport (50M)
    approximately 30 miles south of Nashville.  We have the warm
    atmosphere of a tight-knit club.

    We have operated gliders since the 1950's when Garland Pack
    purchased Army surplus training gliders (TG-3)'s for $15 each and
    began operations - and have operated from our field in Eagleville
    for 40 years. Numerous pilots have enjoyed learning to soar with us
    including many nationally ranked pilots and a 5 time National Open
    Class Champion.  

    We cater to those interested in soaring for recreation - and
    specialize in advanced cross-country training for competition
    minded pilots.
