Join us as we mark the 90th anniversary of six-year-old Neil Armstrong’s first airplane ride. On July 26, 1936, the Warren and Champion Township resident took his first flight from Warren Airways (now the site of First Flight Lunar Module) in a Ford Tri-Motor airplane (the Tin Goose). This sparked young Neil’s life-long love of aviation.
