    The Airplane Restaurant in Colorado Springs is an absolute blast! The food portions were huge, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the amount of food you get. I had a great time exploring all the airplane trinkets around the restaurant, and getting to go into the cockpit was a fun and unique experience. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I loved how they dressed up as pilots it added to the fun, immersive atmosphere. Overall, it was a cool, memorable dining experience that I highly recommend for anyone in the area!

    Really cool dining experience inside of an actual decommissioned airplane that's incorporated into the main restaurant. The bison burger and smoked duck quesadilla were amazing! Highly recommend!
