If you love hearing the phrase: "Flight attendants, prepare for take-off," this spot is definitely for you. The Airplane Restaurant in Colorado serves up delicious eats inside an actual renovated aircraft. You can enjoy real tasty treats while imagining you’re soaring thousands of feet above the ground, and the food is way better than those single servings on actual flights! Permanently docked in Colorado Springs, Colorado, this wild restaurant is a beacon for all wannabe pilots and Top Gun fans. If you’ve ever wanted to fly an airplane, or just enjoy the rush you get from traveling in between your trips, you can get all of the above from this spot. The Airplane Restaurant is housed inside a KC-97 piston aircraft. It is one of the largest models around, and it used to serve as a functioning plane before it was remodeled. Now, you can swing inside the mammoth structure and stop for a tasty bite while you admire the impressive size. If you fancy yourself as a pilot, you can head to the front and snap a photo or two in the cockpit, instantly adding major cool points to your social feed. Because honestly, what feels cooler than being a pretend pilot for a day? View this post on Instagram I am cheesing so hard cause inside that is genuinely how happy I feel.

Oh, and their drink options are aviation-themed for the ultimate mile-high boozy treats. View this post on Instagram The inside of the restaurant was amazing!
