Aircraft Fire Truck Picture, Santa Monica Airport

Passmoore, Works Of Alexander & I.V.

Of all the paintings in my collection, this is my son's unequivocal favorite. Ever since he saw this bright yellow airport-rescue fire engine, his requests that I paint it were never-ending. At last one day, the Santa Monica Fire Department left it out in the sun to dry after a wash.
I dedicate it to the memory of all the lost firefighters of September 11th.
Fire departments take pride in their fire trucks. Shiny objects of beauty, they deserve all the washing and waxing attention typically bestowed on them.
Series Description: Small municipal airport in Santa Monica that caters to private Learjets & Gulfstreams. Dedicated to Mark Tristan Munley, a Jersey City friend who loved planes.
