I will change the thread title so it will reflect that pilots other than Capt. Mike will be showing there photos, too.
Thanks for contributing!

He Capt. Mike! Why do you not do a Book like Sennitiff did on all the Strips still open. Use Phots instead of Diagrams.
Would be a great Book.
I can still feel my Butt Puckerr\going into the old Hotel Muelge Strip. Ask Saul sometimes about that Cessna 170 B which came in there at times on a
Hot Day.!!
David: Thanks for all the Photos from all you guys, It makes the old heart Thump..
Does any one have any shots of Punta Pulpito or the strip just South of Bombero on the turn off to San Nicholas?? Woulds appreciate s\Loolkng at
them.
Thanks again.

Mike my 1987 (17th edition) Sentrfitt 'Airports of Baja Ca.' has both... (pgs. 226, 227)
Punta Pulpito is 42 miles north of Loreto/ 26 miles south of Mulege, at the base of the Concepcion peninsula. Runway then is listed at 1,170' with
lots of brush. In 1972, it's length was 1,470'... used by cattle buyers and occaisional tourists seeking a private beach, Arnold says!
The other one Skeet is asking about is Rancho Rosarito, on Hwy. 1 south of the bottom of Concepcion Bay, at the turnoff to San Nicolas. That runway
was upgraded for the highway construction company plane. The 1972 Airports of Baja has runway 36/18 at 3,613' long... The 1987 edition only 1,755 with
the other runway (20/02) at 1,911'.

David: Thanks ; Those are two of the Strips I went into often while living at San Nicholas.
Sure will appreciate the Photos if you find them Pomp.
Do any of you remember going into the Beach Strip at the end of Conception? The very end where the Road now goes around the South Point.
Also at one time there was an Airstrip at Escondia Bay near Tripui.
Thanks again for all the good Photos

i have the Ahhhnold.... Senterfitt editions DK mentions and i'll see if i can scan them , the pix, and post here, Skeet.
skeet , ever hear about an old V tailed bonanza pilot from Az named G. W.? last name rhymed with "purchase". he was a hoot, used to fly Sams trips in
the mid 80s, that's when i met him once at Bahia Kino.
anyway he didn't like Senterfitt very much for reasons i won't divulge here - but he always referred to Arnold as Sentersh*t.
i used to laugh my arse off when old GW got on a roll.
he flew a very fast turboed 35 w/ 300 hp. He was so big he could barely get the yoke pulled back to flare. He lost his medical and sold the plane.
when he talked he spoke and sounded just like Foghorn Leghorn from old Warner bros cartoons. if you can imagine that....

Here are those strips and a couple more from Senterfitt's 1972 edition:
This one was brought up on another thread about the old house with a cardon cactus growing on the roof:
Read what Arnold says about this place... I guess this was before any surfers discovered 'Scorpion Bay'!?

Here's an airport I'll bet no one can name. We had to use it when the coast was fogged in. 1100 ft long with ocotillo trees at the end. It been a year
since we have taken pictures in an ill fated attempt at re doing Arnolds' book.

We left Loreto with a full load of fuel, got to San Ignacio which was IFR, didn't want to go back, and then found this place.

Clues: 'Between Loreto and San Ignacio'; 'Coast was fogged in': so San Ignacio Lagoon, not the town; 'Ocotillos'...
The photo is looking westward, as the fog bank can be seen...
>>> I will guess Cadejé (?)

It sure would be great if you would treat us with your airstrip photos... I also could make a web site just for your pictures... All your work
shouldn't be in vain!!
I enjoy looking over Arnold's photos from 40 years ago, still!

Not Cadeje, and not in ANY airport book. The locals (police and military) were very nice and told us we were the largest plane they had land there.
Just leaving now for BOLA now so we'll tell the answer Sun eve when we get back.
PS We would have liked another 100 or so feet for takeoff, we trimmed the Ocotillos a bit.

Mike, go to www.photobucket.com... it is free (your style of web site)!
When you are ready to copy photos from your PC to the photobucket page, click on '800X600, 15" screen' (or a smaller) size for the re-sizing option
(to post on Nomad witout distorting the web page (like too big pictures will do here).
Then, once you have copied all your photos onto your photobucket.com album (at the 800X600, or smaller re-sized size), you can put the images here on
Nomad (several per post).
