Airport restaurant
The Airport Coffee Shop at Chilliwack airport operated sporadically until it was purchased in the 1970s by Neil and Kathleen McNeill. The restaurant allowed pilots to radio ahead before landing and order a meal, similar to truck stop cafes of that era.
he McNeills sold the coffee shop in 1975, and soon afterward, both the coffee shop and the old airport were torn down and replaced with a fully modern airport. After remaining closed for several years, Barbara and Gordon Mitchell purchased the Airport Coffee Shop in 1980. Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) granted an honorary pair of pilot's wings to Barbara in 1994 for her pies and "Food for Flying Folk".Шаблон:Citation needed Jacqueline Dziuba is currently the owner after the Mitchells retired in 2009.[2]
