#31: Ready for Take Off
McDonald’s and aviation don’t usually go hand-in-hand unless you’re eating a quick Big Mac at the airport before your flight. However, this McDonald’s in Taupō, New Zealand, has the most unique restaurant design we’ve ever seen. Customers can chow down on their fries in a retired Douglas airplane! The plane is connected to a regular-looking McDonald’s as an unexpected surprise.
It’s unclear how this New Zealand McDonald’s came into possession of this aircraft, but the plane has an interesting history. It was manufactured in Long Beach, California, and acted as a military transport aircraft during WWII. It was then transformed into a commercial plane until it was decommissioned in 1984. Today, it’s a spot where people can eat their fast food. What a time to be alive.
