Building 6
This wartime photo (taken in 1943) is the only known photograph that we have that shows the hangar the CASC currently resides in. Originally built at the outbreak of WWII, this two bay hangar was the Research & Development department for Chance Vought, which housed modified Corsairs for particular tests as well as newe...r experimental aircraft.
Today this building is owned by the US Army, (along with the rest of the factory) and is in a static derelict state. This section of the property, separated from the rest of the facility by Sniffins Lane, has been used primarily as a workshop by the CASC and is not setup as a modern publicly accessible museum. While its the goal of the CASC to completely refurbish this building and turn it into a world class educational aerospace museum, that dream is far in the future. What is needed are donations both private and commercial to help us reach that goal. Help the CASC today by volunteering or donating today.
