Chop Chop and Airplanes





Look! Here comes a plane pulling off the runway now. See Big and Little Kennesaw Mountains in the background?



When I think of Chop and airplanes I normally think of the Chinese character in BLACKHAWK comicbooks. The Blackhawk Squad was sort of a vigilante air-squad that had members from different countries who fought for justice and world peace. One of their members a Chinese was the only member did not conform to the blue uniform with the upside down L row of buttons across the chest. He wore his native Chinese clothes on missions. I think his name was Chop.

Below is MAD Comicbook's version of Black Hawk, the splash page, which was illustrated by Wallace Wood.

But the Chop we visited tonight had nothing to do with international peace keeping. The full name is Elevation Chop House. It is a restaurant by the runway of McCollum Airport in nearby Kennesaw with an upstairs and downstairs. We ate upstairs with a better view of the runway.

The food was pretty good. It was our son Adam's belated birthday dinner.
