It's right in the main terminal, offers great sandwiches and meals, plus the airport is served by an ILS so you can go there when its no fun to do anything else. Its called "Arnies". As far as the DON Q is concerned, I was up there several times a few years ago and it was very nice. They have a stratocruiser they flew in and were planning to convert into a museum/restaurant but I cant say if they ever completed it. I have only been in there at night, but since then several pilots have told me horror stories, and that they would never fly in at night... I guess the terrain is pretty interesting. Just make sure you make your approach nice and steep and be aware that the runway has a definite slope making landing uphill desirable in all but the strongest winds. Dave Welch - BTL/Indian Hill
