Fly-Outs: Hangar One

An aviation-themed steakhouse for an aviation town

Hangar One Steakhouse looks just like a hangar and a tower and there's a 1944 Beech C–45 protruding from the building (named "Amelia" for Atchinson, Kansas, native Amelia Earhart). Entering through doors with handles made from wooden propeller blades, it's aviation overload - but in a very good way. In fact, with all of the memorabilia displayed in a tasteful and engaging way, if you weren't so darn hungry, you'd never make it to your table. There's something to stop and gawk at every step - the jet pack from "The Rocketeer"; the posters; the aircraft models; the insignia...but, let's eat first, OK?
