Picture of the day: Ready to roll By General Aviation News Staff · January 12, 2016 · William Dubois sent in this photo, which he titled “Winter in Santa Fe, New Mexico!” “The Plane Tales 1947 Ercoupe Racer ready to roll on snowy ground,” he added.
Jeff says January 13, 2016 at 8:27 am Picture title says “Winter in Santa Fe”. Looks like KSAF, so I’d guess KSAF, ramp north of the tower.
Mária Nucci says January 13, 2016 at 7:59 am Cool pic – pun intended! At what airport/airstrip was this taken?
William Dubois says January 14, 2016 at 8:19 am Thank you! (It was cool that morning indeed…quite cool). Airport was KSAF.
Mike says January 13, 2016 at 7:46 am Great picture of the plane! Wasn’t that Herbies the love bugs number? 53
William Dubois says January 14, 2016 at 8:20 am You are so right, we share Herbie’s Number. It seemed appropriate to choose a humble underdog number when racing an underdog airplane!
