The Proud Bird

The Better Half found this amazing restaurant called The Proud Bird near LAX. It's a sprawling, wonderfully old-fashioned restaurant dedicated to the history of combat aviation.

They have lots of replicas of, and actual discharged, fighter planes from different eras in combat history, and from different parts of the world. The restaurant itself is the kind of place where old military types congregate for weekend brunches and the waiters wear aprons and bow ties. You can watch commercial planes land at nearby LAX while having lunch.

Our old pal, and aviation nut, Jason "The KachMan" Kachel (and his friend Ron) had a great time there. Jason was able to correctly identify almost every aeroplane that came in for a landing. 

If only he related that well to women...
