There's a reason folks keep coming back for our Gyro. Beef and lamb on a grilled pita with Greek yogurt sauce, it's a Downwind tradition that goes back to our family's Greek heritage. Pair it with a bowl of Hot Honey Hushpuppies to start and you've got a meal worth flying in for.

Come taste what's kept us cleared for takeoff for over 35 years. https://shspt.sh/jMgGKW

08:46 AM, 9/11/2001, Never forget. We woke up that Tuesday morning like any other day. Then at 8:46 AM, the world stopped turning.

Twenty-five years later, every one of us can still say exactly where we were. What we were doing. Who we called. As an airport restaurant, we remember watching those runways go quiet, the skies stand still, and a nation come together in the days that followed.

Today, we honor those who lost their lives, the first responders who ran toward danger, and the families forever impacted. Take a moment. Remember where you were. Hug the people you love a little closer.

Never forget.
