Cafe to Fly Pacific--This old C-54 fuselage was loaded today for a trip to the West Coast after serving for years as a roadside cafe. It will be fitted once again with the necessary equipment to make it fly and will be used by an airline operating between Seattle and Tokyo. High prices and difficulties in obtaining new planes were given as reasons for the reconversion plan.
