Colorado Springs has a unique place for aviation enthusiasts and unusual dining experiences – The Airplane Restaurant. This restaurant, located inside a real Boeing KC-97 airplane, offers guests the opportunity to dine right in the cabin of the legendary aircraft.
Atmosphere and interior
Once inside The Airplane Restaurant, visitors find themselves in the cabin of a military airplane of the 50s. The original elements of the cabin have been preserved, and the walls are decorated with photographs, model airplanes and aviation artifacts. Guests can take seats in real passenger seats and feel like they are in flight without leaving the ground.
For those who prefer a more traditional setting, there is a spacious aviation-themed room next to the airplane. However, most visitors choose the “in-flight” area to enjoy an unusual experience.
Menu and specialties
The cuisine at The Airplane Restaurant is classic American fare with an emphasis on hearty portions and quality ingredients. Popular items include:
- Bomber Burger – A specialty burger with beef, cheese, bacon and house sauce.
- Runway Chicken Alfredo – tender pasta with chicken in a creamy sauce.
- Pilot’s Ribeye – juicy ribeye steak cooked according to a specialty recipe.
There is a special menu for children, as well as souvenirs related to aviation theme.
Why visit
The Airplane Restaurant is not just a place where you can enjoy a delicious meal, but also an opportunity to touch the history of aviation. Whether it is a family dinner, a meeting with friends or an unusual date, a dinner on board a real airplane will leave vivid impressions and atmospheric photos!
