Armstrong and his family made their home in Warren, Ohio, when he was a young boy. His interest in flying developed at an early age. On July 26, 1936, at the age of 6, young Neil and his father, Stephen, embarked on his first flight in a Ford airplane – a Tin Goose – from Warren Airways on Parkman Road, now the site of the Neil Armstrong Apollo 11 Lunar Module replica.
Thirty-three years later, on July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong made history with his first flight in the Apollo 11 Lunar Module. He became the first man to walk on the moon.
Mathey is a member of the National Packard Museum and the Trumbull County Historical Society board of directors.
