I love those apparent brisk walk rate of closure appraoches. And I think I saw an angle across the wide runway on a strong crosswind approach. Very good.

Thank you very very much for posting that. That would be a very neat trip but can't imagine the butterflies in my stomach. Not so much the actual flying but dealing with the authorities.

Dealing with the authorities went super smooth, no problems at all, very easy, very friendly, very cheap fuel and airport fees ($4.00 a night).
Great food and felt very safe.
It was a pleasant surprise Mexico. I heard horror stories about corrupt police and all, they are tales I think.
