Mc Donalds, Taupo has a Douglas DC3 as part of the restaurant seating area. For part of the day you can eat in the plane and view the cockpit. This is the reason it has been voted the coolest McDonalds in the world, beating out the likes of Rome, Tokyo, New York and approximately 35,000 other restaurants.
"The plane, a Douglas DC3 aircraft, was built in 1943 and was one of three used by South Pacific Airlines of New Zealand from 1961 to 1966. In 1971 it was renamed Whio and used by Fieldair Holdings as a top-dressing plane, before being decommissioned in 1984.
In 1985, Taupo Mayor Rick Cooper bought the plane during a stopover in New Plymouth.
''I was wandering around, stretching my legs and I came across this plane,'' Mr Cooper said. ''I got talking to the owner who said he was going to refurbish it but it was going to cost too much, so he was going to sell it. I asked how much, and bought it for around $20,000.''
He said the original plan was to use it as his office at the Aeroplane Car Company but a representative from McDonald's , upon seeing the plane, asked if it could be installed at their intended site." (Source stuff.co.nz 4/03/2013)
