SMYRNA – KMQY
Wings of Eagles Aviation started in Smyrna in 1998 as a small flight school, and both the airport and our school have grown significantly over the years.
The Smyrna Airport is now the third largest airport and busiest general aviation airport in all of Tennessee. With two intersecting runways, the longest of which is more than 8,000 feet, and its own air traffic control tower, this high-intensity Class Delta airport is the best possible training environment for all pilots. Once you learn how to fly here, you can be confident no matter where your aviation adventures take you.
Wings of Eagles Smyrna is our home base and the primary location for the majority of our airplanes, including our multi-engine trainer and the newest and largest fleet of Cessna 172s in Tennessee.
CLARKSVILLE – KCKV
We are also proud to fly out of Clarksville Regional Airport, also known as Outlaw Field, an untowered airport located 7 miles northwest of Clarksville, TN, near Fort Campbell. Wings of Eagles Clarksville has a unique client base, training both new pilots as well as a vast amount of military helicopter pilots, many of whom come to us with thousands of hours in military helicopters. Many of these Rotor to Wings pilots also have extensive backgrounds as Maintenance Test Pilots and Instructor Pilots.
This diversity of backgrounds makes Clarksville special, with unlimited opportunities for new pilots to seek mentorship and guidance from more seasoned aviators.
