C 123 plane, which is now a restaurant, was part of the CIA Nicaraguan -Iran , Contra affair. Shot down in 1986 over Nicaragua with an American crew on board. Check out the movie “American Made” with Tom Cruise.
Pat and I each sat in the cockpit, he the pilot …me the co-pilot. The bar is located in the plane.
El Avion Bar and Restaurant, Manuel Antonio
El Avion Bar and Restaurant is a must go to place. Evening sunset view from the restaurant is amazing. The food was fabulous. Started with coconut ceviche and loved our fish burgers.
Interesting place to have lunch! 🙂🌈🍀

Such a cool concept for a restaurant! I’d love to go back to Costa Rica to dine in just for the experience. 🙂

We didn’t see any cargo. It was transported to Manuel Antonio in pieces by boat.
