Logan County Airport (ICAO: KAAA, FAA LID: AAA) is a public use airport located 2.2 nautical miles (4 km) northeast of the central business district of Lincoln, a city in Logan County, Illinois, United States. It is owned by the Logan County Board.[1] The airport is also the site of the National Weather Service Central Illinois (Central Illinois Forecast Office).
