Predictions on King Air modifications and Santa Fe Fiesta mix
The Santa Fe Highway Department faces a major added cost to outfit the King Air for aerial photography. Estimated at 60 000 to 80 000 dollars plus FAA certification, the pressurized plane requires a camera hole and sealing work. The department will retain a contractor for months until outfitting is complete. A prior similar job was done in West Germany. Also discussed are state agency charging for computer work to tighten budgets and a bold aerosol bill pushing education to prevent inhalant abuse. Santa Fe Fiesta adds a disco dance to its traditional events, hoping the State Fair Commission approves the trend.
