AIR-MAZING MCDONALD’S – AEROPLANE TRANSFORMED INTO FAST FOOD RESTAURANT
Diners on this aeroplane are never disappointed with their meal, because the decommissioned aircraft is now home to an air-mazing McDonald’s restaurant. For the last 24 years, the disused DC-3 plane has been parked beside the McDonald’s restaurant in Taupo, New Zealand. The grounded passenger plane, with its refurbished red and silver interior and seating for twenty, is very much a part of the restaurant and customers can enjoy their Big Mac and fries within the comfort of the cabin. Eileen Byrne, the restaurant’s 59-year-old owner, says: “The site was previously part of a car dealership, the Aeroplane Car Company, and the owner bought a disused DC-3 plane, which sat alongside the building. And when McDonald's purchased the site in 1990, the aeroplane came with it.”
