Do you have aerial and/ or ground photos of Baja airports & landing strips... and would you post them here, if so? u2u me if you need help posting
the photos.
Photos of Baja from above are very interesting to those of us who are without wings!
Gracias!

David, I think I have a copy of Arnold Senterfits book. Although dated It will be a good source. I'll let you know.

David, found it! Senterfitt's Airports of Mexico & Central America. My copy,(autographed) is from 1981. You're welcome to borrow it. It has
extinsive photos, drawings and info on almost all the strips in Baja at that time. P

Phil that was my 1st edition i bought, it was paper back but after s few years i had it hardbound cause it was falling apart.
still sits proudly on my bookcase in the command center here at central HQ. Holds a lot of great memories as we used it as our bible for the 1st
jaunts south into mexico and baja.
those were my fav times - no GPS, no moving maps - just charts and dead reckoning with a compass, DG and clock/stopwatch.
the Arnold book got me where we wanted to go.

Thanks Phil, but I have three editions of Arnold's book AIRPORTS OF BAJA CALIFORNIA : 1967, 1972, & 1987... and I wasn't thinking of reproducing
them here.
Instead, new or recent photos of airstrips taken by Baja Nomad pilots/ passengers... perhaps other aerial photos, too?
