There has been cosiderable hurricane damage in Baha. Baja Bush Pilots have helped the Mexican Red Cross with moving water and supplies from the mainland to Loreto. From there they have moved them to the smaller airports. There has been a call for folks with helocopers to move stuff to the small villages with no airports.
Seems to me that if you have a plane with power, flys slow and has big fat tires that are good for nothing but landing where no one else dares, you could be of help. Log on to BBP home page, reed the posts and articles. Jack ( owner of BBP ) is organizing this deal.

Small plane crash in Mexico kills 3 Americans
Sunday, September 10, 2006
TIJUANA, Mexico -- Three medical volunteers were killed in a small plane crash near the U.S.-Mexico border, authorities said Saturday. The Beach Bonanza B36 aircraft left Brownfield, Calif., shortly after noon on Friday and was attempting to land less than an hour later at a military airport near Ensenada, south of the Mexican border city of Tijuana, when it hit a factory wall, said Jaime Nieto, director of civil protection for Ensenada. Dentist Merlin James Larson, 76, of Palm Desert, Calif.; nurse Brianne Nicole Shelton, 25, of San Marcos, Calif.; and pilot Robert McEneany, 57, of Las Vegas were killed, according to the U.S. Embassy in Mexico City.
