Defunct restaurant in Milwaukie, Oregon, U.S.
The Bomber Restaurant operated in Milwaukie, Oregon for 73 years.
In 1947, Art Lacey purchased a B-17 bomber for $13,000 and flew it from Oklahoma to Troutdale. He then disassembled it, transported it covertly, and placed it atop his 48-pump gas station. Lacey also opened the Bomber Restaurant and motel. The gas station was closed in 1991; Lacey died in 2000. The cockpit was removed for restoration, probably in the 2000s. The entire B-17 was disassembled and removed in 2014 for restoration.
The site was listed in Chuck Palahniuk's book "Fugitives and Refugees" (2003).
