Stearman Field and Pilot Lounge

If you live in Stearman Estates in Benton, Kansas, you have access to your own personal runway. The runway is connected to your driveway which goes into the hanger that is connected to your house. This is where you park your airplane. It must be nice to own the house in the picture below. And....the airplane parked in the garage, er....hanger.

Stearman Estates residents meet and have a drink with neighbors at the Pilot Lounge which is open to the public. My sister and her husband live in Benton and we went there one night and enjoyed the restaurant and bar. The theme is, of course, all about airplanes; from the large model planes hanging from the ceiling to the "propeller" ceiling fan.

 

 

 

The food was good. My brother-in-law chose good old Kansas Chicken Fried beef steak covered with gravy. My sister, brother and I had eaten this meal a few days before. I eat Chicken fried steak once or twice a year. It is a treat.
