Delicious land out spot in Arkansas

[Spam]

We are making this a turnpoint from our gliderclub in Arkansas. Only
46 nautical miles to the north of our club lies an old military
airport that does not have a control tower. Easy to get in, they do
have an FBO.

The best part???

An old Southwest Airlines 737 turned into a restaurant right on the
field. Roll your glider to a stop just feet away from where you eat.
Check it out.....

We've got a turnpoint like that on our Pennsylvania/New Jersey
Governor's Cup circuit. Ours is at Blairstown, NJ (1N7) - and while
the food isn't to be found inside an old airplane fuselage, the apple
pie ala mode is worth landing out for! (experience speaking here
<grin>)

A bit outside my glidepath, even from a wave flight, but definitely
the ultimate in chic and glam!

One of our regular turnpoints, "Triple W Airport", located about 17
(or is it 19?) statute miles away from home field now has a brewery.

Unofficial club rule is: Aero retrieves from Triple W are no longer
allowed...

(But then does "8 hours from bottle to throttle" apply if the aircraft
doesn't have a throttle?)

Do they serve airline 'food'? :)

Ray,

8 hours?!!? I thought the rule was "8 _inches_ from bottle to
throttle."

C'mon, guys, read the rules: It's no smoking within 12 hours and no
drinking within 50 ft (or 15 meters, for you metric guys...).

Of course, I've always wondered, "within 50 ft" of what, exactly?

Hooley Mooley Ray! Always make that the last turnpoint in the task and
the whole field would land out every day!

Here's a little clip from the associated article:

The seating is excellent and has all the comforts
and atmosphere of a plane.

Uh-huh. So this is for folks who have really enjoyed the atmosphere and
spacious accommodations while enjoying a meal on an airline flight? Cute
idea, but I think I'll go with the regular ground level dining room.
