FRYEBURG, Maine — British adventurer James Ketchell dropped into Eastern Slope Regional Airport over the weekend during his personal quest to land in every mainland U.S. state and eventually circumnavigate the globe in an open cockpit gyrocopter.

Ketchell, 37, of Basingstoke, England, started out from Hampshire, England, on March 31. Prior to landing in Fryeburg, he stopped on Nantucket, Mass., for three days as a guest of the Nantucket Flying Association and then spent the night in Marshfield, Mass., before stopping in Concord and then coming up to Fryeburg on Saturday and taking off Sunday morning.
