The website for the Armstrong Air and Space Museum in Wapakoneta, Ohio states there will be an astronaut there during the period of July 18 to 20th... doesn't say who though. |

Saturday, meet astronaut Greg Johnson, Run to the Moon in the 5K, 10K, or fun run, battle stormtroopers, talk to the Lost in Space robot, and collect a special balloon creation. |

Not that I will be attending, but is that Greg C. or Greg H.? They must get 'But I thought you were Air Force/Navy!' sometimes  |

This is for their Summer Fest. I went last year. The kids had fun (age 1 and 6 last year). It's a small festival, but the kids don't mind. I got some free NASA swag in a bag (prints, stickers, etc), but I didn't see any astronauts when I was there. It's my hometown, but I now live an hour away and was just through the museum again two weeks ago or I'd head that way on Saturday. Have fun! |

I believe it is probably Col. Greg H. Johnson (STS-123, STS-145) as he is from Fairborn, OH (in nearby Dayton area) and is appearing just down the road at the Koestler Pavilion at the Miami Valley Medical Center tomorrow (7/16). It would make sense that they are part of the same schedule — adjacent towns on adjacent days. That's just my deduction, however. |

Yes (as also posted on Sightings at the time), Greg H. "Box" Johnson was in attendance. He gave a surprise presentation to guests on July 17 and then attended the Summer Moon Festival as announced. You can see him the background of this photo posted by the museum on Facebook. |
