MEALS ON WINGS:

YANGPYONG, South Korea (CNN) -- One entrepreneur has created a dining experience for those who want aviation fare without the flight.

"Yangpyong Air" restaurant, located just outside Seoul, serves customers aboard a retired DC-10 passenger plane.

"People are experiencing difficulties and are stressed out from everyday life," said owner Kim Dong-Bum. "I wanted them to be able to have the joyful experience of flying, relieving their stress through a spiritual journey."

Like a real plane, seating is economy, business or first class with food to match. Prices range from about $8 for spaghetti to $32 for escargot, all served by "flight attendants," of course.

Kim bought the plane from the United States over the Internet for about $50,000. For the trip to South Korea, it was cut into parts that were shipped individually.

Kim says the trouble was worth it. "About 400 to 500 customers visit us regularly, and they all say it's very creative."
