I love Montana (moved there in '89), but I wouldn't choose to
manufacture anything other than dimensioned lumber or what might be
distributed via internet there, unless I was insane... or overly
optimistic.

Nobody lives in Montana because there's no manufacturing in Montana
because Montana is so far away from everywhere.

I couldn't agree more.

"If I was a hog farmer, I might name my favorite ale "Old Swine Swill" or
something like that. But I'm not a hog farmer. I'm a pilot . . . aviation is
my passion. Therefore, I have chosen aviation as a theme for the names of
our ales. The Ford Tri-Motor, pictured in our logo, was a principle
workhorse of early Montana aviation. With this in mind, I dedicate Lang Ale
names to the pilots and airplanes of Montana aviation. Besides, what better
theme for a beer brewed in a converted aircraft hangar!"

Unsolicited testimonial: I tried Tri-Motor Amber Ale at a
bar-and-grill in Kalispell last summer, then came back the next night
despite their so-so food just for another pint of Tri-Motor. I like
their taps, too: propeller blades. Nice touch.

What was the name of the restaurant?

There's a McDonald's I always stop at when I'm in Iowa. It's off of Wright
Brothers Blvd, just down the road from the (big) Eastern Iowa Cedar Rapids
Airport (KCID)

The story I heard is a local aviation enthusiast approached McDonald's with
an idea: Let's have some fun with your interior. I would have to say they
succeeded.

It's not just a picture here or some artwork there, rather, it's an entire
airport theme throughout the ...restaurant. Taxi lights, an airline fuselage
section to sit in, markings, display cases, airport lights above all of the
registers, etc. Very fun.

I thought I clicked off a few (inside pics) on one of my trips down there.
So far, I haven't run across anything in my photo files, though.

Hmm? I must have walked in with the best of (Kodak moment) intentions, only
to walk out with a $1.00 double-cheeseburger, instead.

Oh well.

I did shorten a certain Iowa aviator's life expectancy, by at least 5 years,
when I put him onto the N40 Hardee's Thickburger Specials this past July.

I've got a batch of homemade pomegranate wine in the fermenter. Maybe I'll
call it Pilot's Pomegranate Pop.
