DescriptionThis image depicts a Continental Airliner sitting on the tarmac in front of the Albuquerque Municipal Airport in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The plane itself is chrome in color and is parked facing the right side of the frame. The motion blur around the propellers implies that they are spinning very quickly. Beyond the plane, in the background, the main terminal of the Albuquerque Airport can be seen. Several airport employees are visible behind the plane next to the building.
