---------- 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
