Armstrong Air and Space Museum (October 13, 2021)

Great time and the first visit to the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio. Just a short hop from Grand Lake St. Mary, it was the home town of the first man to walk on the moon. There are a number of items there from Apollo 11, plus the Gemini 8 spacecraft he flew in, and the F5D Skylancer which he test flew. He tested a number of aircraft including the amazing X-15. A truly remarkable life and much of it is detailed at this very fine museum. Enjoyed my visit and looking forward to a return sometime in the future.
