The Home of the Famous Flying Wiener

[Razzor01]

Going on from the excellent planes near restaurants / planes that are restaurants posts, here's one I tracked down back in 2009, with the aid of the compulsory USMOOS* by Andy Marden.

Ita a Convair 240 located on North L Street, Tulare, California.

If only it were open when I visited I could have tried one of "Aero Dogs" "Famous Flying Wieners".

Looking forward to getting back out there when Covid is under control to hunt down more weird and wonderful things like this.

Years ago, circa 1990, I visited Czechoslovakia and there was an IL18 in use as a bar in one place. Sadly it was scrapped a few years ago.
