Check his spot 27,28 and 29. That is a nice beach at Punta San Francisquito. Been there twice. Where he is now has a crappy beach. It is covered with diapers. Nice hotel though, right on the airstrip. Called Hotel Serinidad. Been there a few times too.

He is on a nice trip and nobody down there wants a Maule.

He very well could be at that bar that's in the swimming pool there at the Serinidad...doesn't want to get his iphone wet reporting in to BCP \:D/ It's been real quiet from down that way, must be too much fun.
Last I saw it was warming into the 80's, did it warm up down in Las Barracas yet?

Whales was fun. Landings a real challenge. 30MPH gusting higher.

For the most part when your driving in Mexico yes the country side looks like a garbage dump, but those are rocks painted white :lol: Your landing fee $ put to good use.

Re: 3/3/11 Baja Bush Pilots Whales 11

Glad they are ok, I am sure a little shaken though. The plane is a low wing, did it catch the berm at the side of the road? When he cares to talk about it I am sure there is something to be learned here if he would care to share it. Is this the Lancair from your post above about the take off crash on the Mexican side?

Re: 3/3/11 Baja Bush Pilots Whales 11

Wow! They can always buy a new plane; glad to see they walked away from that one!
