Bomber Restaurant - Milwaukie, OR - U.S. Route 99 - The Pacific Highway on Waymarking.com

This use to be a gas station, but now it is only a restaurant. Art Lacey, not too long after WWII, went to Kansas to buy a surplus bomber. He paid 15,000 for the plane and wanted to use it as an advertising gimmick for his gas station. He flew the plane from Kansas to Oregon and did not even really know how to fly this plane. He read the manual, stuck a blow up doll in the co-pilot seat and now it sits up in the air over where the pumps used to be.

State: Oregon Nearest City: Milwaukie, OR Type: Americana - Motel, diner, roadside attraction, etc.
