---------- Piper Tomahawk
About seven years ago, Habenero's joined the small group of restaurants operating in Lee's Summit in a building designed by one of the owners who is an architect and a pilot. Joe Lange used a small airport office and control tower building as his guide, then added a Piper Tomahawk plane to the roof to draw attention.
Lange decided to put a real airplane on the roof to get the restaurant noticed, to get people talking and because it is easily seen from U.S. 50. The plane actually has no engine and is made of parts from several planes, so don't try to fly it off the roof after several margaritas.
The restaurant's logo shows a fighting Mexican pepper named "Habey" who pilots the plane and the restaurant is known as the "Home of the Flying Pepper." - Reference: reference" target="_blank">www.thex.info/stories/0403/0403019.shtmlreference

The below is from: http://www.jackwongsue.com/1970's_htm.htm
At the time, Air Niugini had a fleet of 12 DC3's. The aircraft above was mounted at Jackson Airport
Port Moresby and named Larry Blackman. It was dedicated to the memory of all pilots who lost their
lives while flying in Papua New Guinea.
However, it was this particular aircraft that Larry and I flew together on many occasions. In fact my first flight
with Larry was in this aircraft P2-ANQ from Lae to the Trobian Islands and return. During the latter stages of WW2,
President Dwight Eisenhower assigned this aircraft to General Bernard Montgomery as his personal transport in
Europe.
It was the only aircraft in the Air Niugini fleet with electric boost pumps, a rear buffet and a 28 seat
forward facing configuration. It was a dream to fly.
When it was finally dedicated to the above status as a perpetual trophy, it was a very low time aircraft (16,000 hours).
The great Larry Blackman retired from Air Niugini in the latter part of the 1970's and died not long after.

This was the Vampire Jet that used to be outside the RAAF Supply Depot on Stirling Highway, Claremont for many years. It is now located at Bill's Used Machinery Sales Yard at 302 Gnangara Rd Landsdale, Western Australia. http://www.billsmachinery.com

I don't think thgis one should qualify for 2 reasons.
- 1. it's more junk than a plane.
- 2. It's for sale and it is therefore not permanently located.

It's located in the same yard as the Vampire in this post:
