Thanks!

On closer examination it looks more like a static display than a cafe.



I think I'll leave it out of the collection. It's a Douglas C-54A nose gear collapsed when it overran the runway at Damascus on October 2, 1964.

I don't exactly know if you could call this a restaurant, but how about a mobile kitchen.

There is a new one in Mobile Alabama on Airport Blvd. I haven't inspected it closely but I believe it to be a Boeing 727. Cooper T's is the name of the resturant. It does not appear on GE yet, but when it does it's approx location will be 3040'36.18" N 8811'17.66" W.
