On the first floor are an open passenger seating area, business center, pilot lounge with a snooze room, shower facilities, four private offices, and café bar. Upstairs is the Waco Kitchen restaurant, featuring locally sourced farm-to-table ingredients. The restaurant s large windows provide views into the company’s biplane production facility.
