Even military men get the muchies.

A Canadian military helicopter touched down in Kenora in the parking lot across from the A&W for a food run on Thursday evening.

Restaurant owner Randy Nickle said he was surprised to see the chopper touch down.

“They were hungry, they were looking for food.  They flew from Edmonton…and were trying to get to Thunder Bay and, of course, they needed fuel so they stopped to get gas at the airport.  But because there’s no food there they decided, “Hey, let’s go to A&W for supper.”

Nickle said crew members picked up an order of burgers, fries and drinks before lifting off.
