the latest mishap at serenidad this week, there was also another last week. from what i understand after being blown off approach this plane made a
second run at it, with one little change, the landing gear was up ! OUCH, nice use for the boat trailer though !
Serindad crashes....been quite a bunch.

But then, it's a party-place for small planes! I've seen a few crashes, heard about many, and thankfully know of very few fatalities.
Here's a photo of a memorable crash at the Serindad between an incoming plane and an outgoing pickup. See the dent in the pickup's top. Yup, the
unwary driver.. (who I should not name but now lives in Thailand. Hi'ya Ranger Roy! Staying off those Bangkok runways?).. drove his pickup blindly
out onto the strip right when this low-wing was landing...Whammo!... Nobody seriously hurt, thank Bacchus. Ranger Roy managed to hold on to his beer
through it all...although the pilot may have spilled his.
The federales and army had a field day writing tickets, collecting fines, having drinks at the hotel bar, etc. Another great day in Mulege. You
gotta love this place!

good one Marv, how about one of the V tail's wing too?
can't wait for this weekend, hope no more incidents but love the landing judging and score cards.
