The Logan County Airport was the first stop for this couple of adventurers traveling America's skyway. David de Hennin of Australia and Anna-Klara Skarp of Sweden were welcome guests at the Logan County Airport's Wednesday morning pilot coffee. Logan County was their first stop of a six-week trip via an ultralight aircraft. They began in Chicago and are headed for the West Coast.

David pre-flights their craft as Anna-Klara prepares to settle in.
