Even as pilots Hoot Gibson and Curt Brown focus on racing at the Reno National Championship Air Races today, a piece of their heart will be at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., where the nation will say a public goodbye to astronaut Neil Armstrong.
Astronaut Neil Armstrong began his aviator career by competing in Model Aviation Competitions.
Astronaut Hoot Gibson is an AMA life member and AMA Ambassador.
