The world record exhibit at the Armstrong Air & Space Museum
WAPAKONETA —The Armstrong Air & Space Museum has put in a new exhibit featuring world records from inside the cockpit of the Apollo 11 module and inside the cockpit of his Learjet 28.
The records were among the first exhibits on display at the museum prior to renovations made in the ’90s when they were put into storage, but with the recent acquisition of the aforementioned plane last year, the museum decided to display them again indefinitely in order to tell the full story of the jet.
Museum visitors are not able to see the 10 records, which include greatest mass landed on the moon, longest stay on the lunar surface, two for altitude in horizontal flight and one for time to climb to 15,000 meters, the latter two set in the jet, anywhere else.
The records are certified by the World Air Sports Federation and the National Aeronautic Association. They are on display in the Modern Space Gallery of the museum.
