Lucky for you, I was just driving past the airstrip 3 days ago and took these photos. I figured some meet was happening because of the unusual plane activity.

So here you go, enjoy:

Then I visited with this lassie who wondered where you have been keeping yourself? She's looking for a pilot-guide. I am struggling to get into my flight jacket now.

Capt. Mike & Pompano,

How would like to own that Beaver in the background ?

Reminds me of Alaska

what a great stew she'd make! i'd like her to give me a very lengthy pre flight briefing.....
hey i see Marlin is there with the 340. i rescued him once at San Felipe.
his 210 got ripped at El Gallito a few years ago.

That Beaver has a nice set of radial pistons, too...


Err...like this other Beaver in Canada...

AHHHH, the temptation here is huge...but I'm with Bajaguy and withholding the smart comments for now...

Uhh....Shari,
No! The nervous guy didn't get the right camera angle. :rolleyes:

I tried to exercise proper decorum, guys. :)

BBP AT SERINADAD - MARCH 21, 2009

Capt. Mike and other flying fans,

Here is what happened last night at the Serinadad Resort in Mulege. The big BBP rally..and it was a very successful event.

Lots of airplanes, good company, food, and musica.


.
The airfield was as packed as I have seen it in serveral years. Almost like the good ol days...

.

.

.

.
Guillermo and I taste the ribs...always perfect! We have know each quite a while now. This is his 41st year manning the pig roast. He always puts some special choice loin on my plate...gracias, amigo.

.

.
The dessert cart...ah, that flan....mmmmmm

.

.
Capt. Mike...do you recognize any in this photo? I mentioned your name. They were just recording the landing competitions.

.

.

.
Of course, Alex was captaining the bar. Whether on land or water, he's a good skipper.
