Interesting that there used to be a 56th fighter group restaurant AT Republic Airport. You could listen to the tower on head phones at your table. Was set up like a bombed out farm house, with jeeps out front and full size fiberglass Airplanes out back. Sadly gone now, like a similar one at Dover Airport in Maryland.
