N381AA which was the last production passenger DC7 ever produced in 1956, flew more than 32,856.40 hours both as a passenger and cargo aircraft, will now be converted into a family atmosphere restaurant. Purchased by the Perna family in 2012; Chef Anthony Perna will provide traditional classic dinners at a reasonable price.
