They are turning a Cold War Tanker into a tiny restaurant.

Say what you want about the food, but I hear the beer garden is going to be amazing.

CLEVELAND, Ohio - The International Exposition (I-X) Center is building the best bistro that ever refueled a jet.

In the not-so-near future, a Cold War-era Boeing KC-97G Stratofreighter will be parked on the south side of the I-X Center and open as a 50-seat restaurant and lounge.

The aircraft, which once refueled military fighter planes in midair, and saw duty with the Ohio Air National Guard from 1963-1968, had been mothballed in Arizona for nearly 40 years before it was purchased last year by the I-X Center.

Now instead of refueling planes, it can refuel humans.

Still doing its job over half a decade later.

Edit: Also this majestic snowy owl camped out on the plane so that’s cool

Thanks.

I don’t even know how much beer 1000 lbs/minute would be, but it sounds like one hell of a party.
