Picture title says “Winter in Santa Fe”. Looks like KSAF, so I’d guess KSAF, ramp north of the tower.
Yep, you are correct, KSAF north ramp.
Cool pic – pun intended!
At what airport/airstrip was this taken?
Thank you! (It was cool that morning indeed…quite cool). Airport was KSAF.
Great picture of the plane! Wasn’t that Herbies the love bugs number? 53
You are so right, we share Herbie’s Number. It seemed appropriate to choose a humble underdog number when racing an underdog airplane!
Not sure if it’s bad form or not to include a noncommercial link in comments, but the story of how we chose the number is on my blog here:
