Connecticut Corsair

Connecticut Corsair is a volunteer organization, dedicated to the promotion of education and local business here in the state of Connecticut. We are also an aircraft restoration project aimed at restoring to flight the official State Aircraft of Connecticut, the Chance-Vought F4U Corsair. Through the restoration of one of the most advanced fighter aircraft of the second World War, we provide a medium by which current and future students can be educated in the areas of math, science, and engineering. Furthermore, our program aims to promote and develop the advanced manufacturing processes hosted by the local businesses here in Connecticut, helping to keep Connecticut the home of modern aerospace technology.

Along the way, Connecticut Corsair aims to help save some of the slowly fading history of both the state of Connecticut and our great Nation. We hope to capture the stories of a generation that helped make our country, as well as our state, what it is today, such that these stories and messages can be passed on the current and future generations.
