EAA Chapter 1343

Based in Gallatin, TN and the Music City Executive Airport.

We are a community of passionate aviation enthusiasts dedicated to promoting the Spirit of Aviation and growing participation in recreational flying. We inspire newcomers, nurture a love of flight, and support affordable, accessible aviation in our local area. All this while protecting the freedom to fly and fostering camaraderie among members.

We serve our community through a range of programs, including Young Eagles (free introductory flights for youth ages 8–17), Eagle Flights (free introductory flights and mentoring for adults), IMC Club (instrument flying proficiency and safety), Technical Counselors (expert guidance for homebuilders and restorers), and the Ray Aviation Scholarship (up to $12,000 to help deserving young people fund their flight training).

Whether you're an experienced pilot, a builder, or simply curious about aviation, there's a place for you in Chapter 1343.

We'd love for you to get involved, weather through Young Eagles rallies, fly-ins, pancake breakfasts (through the summer), building initiatives, or the next monthly meeting. Check our calendar for all activity.
