The answer is yes and no. John Glenn's first flight ended in a water splashdown at sea, a method NASA plans to use for the future Orion project missions. John Glenn's second flight was aboard the Space Shutle, which landed at Cape Kennedy, where it launched from.

Until the Orion project begins flying, US Astronauts fly aboard a Russian Soyuz, which parachutes back to earth on dry land, not the wheels that the Shuttle used.
