Nathan’s Airshow Rituals – Sausage McMuffin with Cheese, Please!

There was one airshow ritual that me and my dad did every morning on our way to an airshow: we would always stop at a Mcdonald’s and grab some breakfast. Not any breakfast, but in particular we would always order several sausage McMuffins with cheese.  Yes, no egg; just muffin, sausage, and cheese.   It was cheap, and certainly filled our bellies and satisfied our taste buds and gave us energy for the airshow day.  Me and my father always stopped at McDonald’s on our way to an airshow and it became our ritual.  My father has since passed away and I rarely eat McDonald’s food, but every so often by chance, I order myself a McMuffin with cheese and my mind turns into airshow mode and all the wonderful airshows I went with my dad flood my memory.  The next time I find myself travelling to an airshow, I am stopping at McDonalds!  The place all airshow fans go to eat!
