Armstrong Air & Space Museum

Ohio’s Armstrong Air & Space Museum explores the aviation and spaceflight career of Neil Armstrong, including his work as a test pilot. Its original aircraft exhibits connect general aviation, supersonic experimental flying, and world-record setting business jets. The collection places particular emphasis on neil Armstrong’s personal flying history, experimental aircraft, and the transition from aircraft testing to human spaceflight. Two Armstrong-flown aircraft stand outside the museum, while an Aeronca Champion is inside the galleries. Spacecraft, lunar objects, and capsule mockups are recorded separately from the aircraft listings. Aircraft listed below are selected documented collection or exhibit entries, not a complete museum inventory. Individual aircraft may be stored, loaned, undergoing restoration, or inaccessible during renovations. Where the evidence does not establish their current location on public display, display status is marked unknown. Verify visit arrangements and individual exhibit access directly with the institution before traveling.
