Chance encounter leads to memorable flight for 100-year-old Navy veteran

NAPOLEON — It was a chance meeting in a Henry County soybean field that brought two veterans from different generations together on Wednesday. “I was out flying last week, and the owner of Farmland News, their cousin was taking a soybean field out ... combining it,” said Barry Behnfeldt, a Napoleon resident. Mr. Behnfeldt is a Navy veteran and pilot who rose to the rank of captain during his career. He made headlines in 2023 for flying to and landing in all 48 contiguous states in 44 hours and 16 minutes with a copilot — a Guinness World Record. He was a longtime airline pilot and is currently president of a nonprofit called 48N48, which promotes aviation and inspires future pilots. Mr. Behnfeldt also dabbles in barnstorming, a practice dating to the early days of aviation in which pilots traveled from place to place, landing in fields to offer airplane rides or perform aerial stunts. It was “kind of like what they used to do in the barnstorming days,” the pilot said, that brought him to the soybean field last week. “I ended up landing in that field where they had taken out the soybeans and taxied up to the

Perrysburg land-use proposal raises concerns about data centers, annexation

A proposal to guide future development along I-75 in Perrysburg is raising concerns among residents who fear it could pave the way for data centers and the annexation of neighboring township land. The city’s proposed I-75 Corridor Land Use Plan update would establish a new “Highway Innovation” designation for approximately 1,225 acres between Roachton Road and the city’s southern boundary. The designation would guide future development, including advanced manufacturing, research and development, logistics, and offices. But residents of Perrysburg and surrounding townships questioned what that development might look like and whether it could eventually bring data centers to the area. More than a dozen people attended an open house Wednesday at the Schaller Memorial Building, where city officials explained the proposal and answered questions. Joe Fawcett, Perrysburg’s city administrator, said economic development has been a priority as the city looks for ways to broaden its tax base and help address financial pressures, particularly school funding. “One of the focus areas over the last few years has been economic development and, specifically, how to broaden the tax base,” Mr. Fawcett said. “How to bring in large industrial utility users into the community to help alleviate some of the issues we’ve been
