El Avion Restaurant and Bar (8 pics)

There's nothing like drinking overpriced liquor in the remnants of one of the US's biggest scandals! The cargo plane at El Avion is built around a 1954 Model, Fairchild C-123 that was (hold on, it gets confusing) abandoned by (depending who you ask) the CIA/Contras/"A private group led by a retired United States Army major general" at the San Jose airport in 1986 as a result of the plane's sister plane (an identical Fairchild C-123), being shot down over Nicaragua carrying (again, depending who you ask) CIA "operative"/cargo hauler/private citizen Eugene Hasenfus. Hasenfus' capture by the Sandinista army led to this: and as a result the plane is now a great place spend money on drinks.
