Hi,

A friend of mine is coming to visit with his plane and I would like to know if anyone knows any cool places or attractions we can visit in Texas with his plane. Also if there are any secret tips on good "restaurants" we can "fly" to I am all ears!

Thanks!

This is a setup for the story about a certain legendary fly-in house of ill-repute, isn't it?

Ranchman's Cafe in Ponder, Texas: http://www.ranchman.com/
It's near Texas Motor Speedway (not sure what the closest airport would be, but I'm sure there's a small one nearby given the speedway). DFW/Denton area. I used to live in Fort Worth, and it's not too bad a drive from there (maybe a little over an hour?), but well worth it.
Make sure you get cobbler and/or applepie after your meal. The fried green tomatoes are great too when they have them. Call ahead if you want a baked potato, though I prefer the fries.

You might check into Lowake Steakhouse. http://myabilene.com/101_things/content.cfm?content_id=542
I haven't been there myself, but I'm told they have great steaks and an airstrip.
