Actually doesn't sound half-bad these days.
But wait:

You wont get frequent flier miles on this plane, but you might get frequent fryer miles.
A grounded passenger plane in New Zealand has been converted into a McDonald's restaurant. The decommissioned aircraft is a Douglas DC-3 and was one of three used by New Zealands South Pacific Airlines from 1961 to 1966.
Now a place to eat burgers and fries, the aircraft has seating for 20, and was repainted silver and the Ronald McDonald red that we all know so well. The engine has been removed, so the plane no longer flies, but diners can still enjoy the authentic cockpit.
Scratch the jet bridgethe only way to board this plane is to walk through the restaurant and use the stairs near the tail of the aircraft. The seat belts have been removed, but thats no problem considering you wont be encountering turbulence.

Compared to Taco Bell McDonalds is gourmet dining. IMHO

when the drugs began to take hold." Pretty freaky!
