About Connecticut Air and Space Center

The Connecticut Air and Space Center currently occupies the research and design hangar where all experimental testing was performed by Chance Vought from 1944 to 1948. It's the hope of the members of the CASC to remain at this location to later develop a museum.

The museum is one of a handful throughout the country to be located in a portion of an original WWII aircraft factory.
