About Us

Bobs father, John Drainer, was employed at the airport for 24 years

The owner of the building wanted a nice restaurant for the airport – a good quality meal with scenic views of the Missouri River. Bob, who runs the restaurant, has been in Jefferson City since 1972 and in the restaurant business for 38 years. Bob’s father, John Drainer, was employed at the airport for 24 years and Bob’s first job was at the airport at 16 years old, so the airport is part of their family roots. The Landing Zone is a proud monument to the Jefferson City airport and a fixture in the community.
