| The ramp at Neil Armstrong Airport. Two Chiefs, a Champ, and a Cessna 336 were all we got. The clouds looming on thehorizon are the remains of a cold front that sat down over Ohio and kept a lot of Aeroncas away. |  |
Entrance to the Neil Armstrong Air & Space Museum in Wapakoneta, OH, the birthplace of Neil Armstrong. |  |
| The gang...from left to right: Paul Weaver, Paul Gould, Paul W's grand-daughter Taylor, Ray Johnson, Judy Johnson, my wife Carmen holding son Joseph, Me holding son Stephen, and David Gould. |  |
Part of the museum. Neil Armstrong soloed in the Champ hanging on the wall. We all thought it was a waste of a perfectly good airplane! |  |
| Another view of the Champ...NC83423. This Champ is no longer registered. |  |
The Champ hanging vertical on the wall. |  |
| Interior of the Gemini space capsule...almost as roomy as a Chief! |  |
This docking hatch was manufactured and donated by who else? Aeronca! |  |
| After the museum, we visited the Weaver family at their beautiful farm outside of Wapakoneta...complete with a 1800' grass strip! |  |
Another view of the farm and the Aeroncas...looks like a scene from 1947! Wish we could have stayed here longer |  |
| On the way home...any signs of the cold front that moved through are gone now. |  |
Ohio farmland below. |  |
| Looking out the right side...a great 2 hour flight home. |  |
