"Flying Down to Rio" Restaurant

In March 1982 a man named Bob Reichert opened a restaurant on the airfield named Flying Down to Rio (after a film of the same name). A Douglas DC-4 (tail number "D54DO", a converted Skymaster C-54) was purchased from a Brazilian Airline and taken to Rio Vista by barge from Oakland [2] . The bar and bistro changed ownership several times [2] [3] [4] and closed sometime after March of 1985 [5] . The DC-4 air frame was dismantled and sent to the Travis AFB Museum after the restaurant closed [6] .
