The Irish Light Aviation Society (ILAS) was formed in 2009 when members of CAACI (Classic Aircraft & Aerobatic Club of Ireland) and SAAC (Society of Amateur Aircraft Constructors) decided to merge both organisations. The purpose of the organisation is to facilitate the construction, restoration and operation of aircraft for recreation in Ireland.
The organisation has over 70 aircraft on its books including the 1935 BA Swallow, a 1945 Piper Cub and a 2006 SeaRey Amphibian. A number of Vans RV7's have taken to the air in recent years and a 4 seater Vans RV10 is under construction. Our latest aircraft to take to the air is Ken Townsend's Colibri on July 26, see link in News section. The list of approved aircraft can be viewed here and more detailed information is on the ‘Background’ page.
