The Airplane Restaurant in Colorado Springs is housed in a restored Boeing KC-97 tanker once used by the U.S. Air Force

In 2001, former pilot Steve Kanatzar and his wife Debbie purchased the plane and pressed it back into service, this time as a unique dining venue located next to the Colorado Springs Airport.


one wing you can see outside, the other is through the building over the larger dining area.

Powered by four 4360 Pratt & Whitney engines, the KC-97 was very powerful. Each 6,000 lb. radial engine has four banks of seven pistons, 28 pistons per engine
