Wapakoneta/New Knoxville is where Neil Armstrong learned how to fly over these fields in his teenage years. He received his pilot’s license when he was only 16 years old. The Neil Armstrong Airport aims to celebrate the past, present and future of aviation with race donations benefiting the Airport’s aviation scholarship fund that makes awards to local students, and the New Knoxville Community Park to provide continued park improvements for future generations of families to enjoy.
