Chilhowee Glider Port

Fly in a glider over the incredible Appalachian mountains! Visitors have the option to take a ride or learn to fly the glider themselves. On some days you can fly the ridgeline at awesome speeds, other times you can take hold of the controls with your pilot and feel what it is like to fly a glider through the various air currents that sustain free flight. Located near Chattanooga, Chilhowee is also the perfect spot to watch glider pilots take off and land.
