The Connecticut Lighter Than Air Society (CLAS) is a club for anyone interested in learning about, participating in and improving the sport of ballooning. Pilots, crew and enthusiasts alike are welcome, and ALL can contribute to the safety, enjoyment and education of the sport. We’ve published a recent essay about the founding of CLAS, by charter member Robert Zirpolo, here.
Meetings are held on the third Thursday of alternate months (Feb / Apr / Jun / Aug / Oct / Dec) at the Plainville Police Department, 19 Neal Court, Plainville, CT 06062 at 7:30 pm.
