The members of Southern
Eagles Soaring encourage all those interested in experiencing the wonderful
sport of soaring to visit us at the Butler Municipal public airport.
We offer introductory rides to those desiring a firsthand experience of pure flight. SES can provide all the flight training necessary to obtain a FAA glider pilot license to include power pilot transition to a glider rating. We also actively recruit power pilots willing to be trained to perform aero tow duty flying the club’s Pawnee tow plane. Visitors should refer to the club operating schedule to confirm what days are scheduled for flight operations. Upon arrival, guests should identify themselves to any club member who will assign a guide to provide information and, if desired, schedule a ride. The club’s points of contact:
