Two giants of aerospace history were honored at a May 13 ceremony to celebrate the renaming of Dryden Flight Research Center to Armstrong Flight Research Center, after the late Neil Armstrong and the naming of the center’s aeronautical test range after Hugh Dryden.
Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon and a former research test pilot at the center and Dryden served as NASA’s first deputy administrator.
