New Airport in San Juanico (SBY)
Looks like there's now an official new airstrip in San Juanico/Scorpion Bay.
Fly into BCS... as a member/owner in the airport. Not for the general public to fly in.
Seems like the plan is to include medical services for the community.

A “members only” airport for gringos in rural Mexico 
Thank god they will keep out the general public. The general public is so uncouth!

Of course sombody probably has plans to build Condos, Townhomes and Fractionals. Can we say desalination plant? Of course it will be environmentally
well done, and gated.

Who's got title to all the land?
Is it going to be another boondoggle with titles?
Same story- different town?
Infrastructure?
Its easy to scape an airport out of dry land
To provide the other stuff needed is the hard part as we have seen before

De nada, Jon.
I am looking forward to Harald doing his satellite and topo map magic with them.
I am wondering if the new runway is in the same place or how they compare in relation to the town.

OK - here is the magic
red is the newest runway
the upper 2 were the first ones - town growth has swallowed most of them
