Hoping to recapture some of the place's history, the owners of the former officer's club building at the New Smyrna Beach Airport have renamed their restaurant Skyline 1949 Restaurant and Bar at 2004 N. Dixie Freeway.
The U.S. Navy built a paved airport at the site in 1942, designating it Outlying Field New Smyrna Beach and operating it as a auxiliary field for advanced naval flight training operations
Ron De Filippo and Frank Villante have tried to re-create the ambience from the 1940s era military officers' club. Also, "the year 1949 was specifically chosen, symbolic of an important transitional time for America. The 1950's were just around the corner and proved to be an exciting and prosperous time for many," the owners said in a news release.
The Skyline restaurant also is implementing a recycling program and energy-efficient changes. The owners also are planning a "Victory Garden" to help supply the restaurant with herbs and vegetables.
The executive chef is Ravin Bissoondutt and the general manager is Bethany Jermann.
