Followinf from the Net (San Felipe)

A commitment to sign the contracts for chartered flights from Long Beach or Carlsbad, to San Felipe was signed yesterday in Mexicali and after the contracts are signed, the first chartered flight is scheduled to begin June 16, 2006. The estimated cost per flight (round trip) will be approximately $400 USD. The commitment states that the Developer's Group of San Felipe, which includes north and south and in between developers, will agree to make up the difference if the flights are not full. This will mean a great boom to San Felipe, as gasoline costs in the United States are going out of this world. You now can fill up your tank in Mexico for half the cost in the U.S. Photos of the plane, the name of the company, ect., will be provided this afternoon. Stay tuned. La Gata

"Developer's Group of San Felipe, which includes north and south and in between developers, will agree to make up the difference if the flights are not full"

:lol:

and there's still some great beach lots available in Kansas....................

that will never happen.
calling it "charter" and saying they'll run a "schedule" of 3 days RT a week...

there is not enough demand for that to SF. Wait till its hot, like in about starting last week...and all the sno birds blow back to the north.
sure, the locals will subsidize empty planes when the season is dead. :lol:

And if he word of all the latest break-in in San Felipe gets out, this charter service will go the way of the one that tried 7 or 8 years ago. Nobody wants to buy and leave anything here only to have it vandalized when the snowbird season is over.

It's even worse than that, wornout. Apes and humans supposedly evolved separately from an even more primitive ancestor. Just different branches off an older family tree. Seems to me this side of the family is still pretty primitive a lot of the time ...
