Nashville Area Rental?

Post by 7GC »

I'll be spending some time in Nashville this winter and am interested in renting a plane on weekends. Tailwheel preferred, but will be happy with nosewheel. Would also prefer small airport away from the city. Any recommendations?

There are a lot of small airports in the Nashville Area. Get a chart from the local FBO at the General Aviation side of Nashville Airport and you will find many smaller airports to the West, North and South. I lived in Franklin and flew out of one in Hickman County in Lyle and one north on Route 7. Not sure what they rent anymore as it has been a while.

Good Luck - Robert

A few places where I rented in the area were:

Smyrna - Fairly Large Municipal Airport
Murfreesboro - Same as above'
Dickson Municipal - Small Local on North of Route 40 West of Nashville
Perry County - Farther West

There is one on the Loop Road north of Nashville - RT 440 and there was another one around Lyle that I can not find. I will have to check my log book to see where else.

Thanks, I'll be checking them out. I noticed a couple places on-line that advertise Cessna 150 rental at $85. The tailwheel place in Lebanon requires 10 hours dual in type to rent solo. I've run into that before on tailwheel rental, and it's too much $$ for the time I'll be there.
