In continuing with the Restaurant theme. I was in Cleveland last week. At the end of the Cleveland International Airport Runway 6L sits a Restaurant Meeting facility called the 100 Bomb Group Restaurant. The pictured CCKW was near the entrance along with an MB. Also on the grounds were and M38, M-43, WC-54, and an early 40's Dodge Panel painted OD with a Geneva Cross. Also pole mounted were the Mustang and the Thunderbolt pictured below.

Inside the Restaurant were hundreds of WWII photos of people, aircraft, and locations. Some accoutrements were also present. I was with a group of business associates who are not HMV oriented so I got about 10 minutes to look when I could have easily spent a couple of hours.

If you are in the Cleveland area check it out.
