The Iran-Contra Cargo Plane, Now a Restaurant and Bar!



On October 5, 1986, a cargo plane delivering supplies to the Nicaraguan Contras was shot down. This ultimately led to the uncovering of the biggest scandal of the Reagan administration: the Iran Contra [wiki].

But what happened to the plane itself? Turned out, someone made it into a restaurant and bar aptly called “El Avion”! Link - Thanks Trip!
