From another posted note elsewhere.
"Just a quick update on the Todos Santos airport that has been closed for several years now. They are trying to get it opened up again. They being he
ejido and a lawyer working for them. I know the lawyer and unfortunately he doesn't seem to get things done but I will step in and help him as I would
like to have it open again. i live in Cabo most of the year but plan on moving to Pescadero (just so. of TS).
I have government contacts wiht the DGAC and others that would like for it to open again or we'll build a new one in Pescadero if need be. I have an
experimantal motor glider adn other glider pilots that want to have an airstrip near the Sierra Laguna...right now there is no place for a tow launch.
Any members interested in seeing this strip open and or might want a hangar please let me know...The more interest the more likely the DGAC will
reopen it this year."
any locals from there have any input?

I know the guy who wrote this and he's definitely trying to get an airport going in the area.

I would love to see that airport open again, and count on me for any support from here in TS. I have a friend who flies down in a Saratoga from Brown
field (sorry do not know any more than that about the plane, but I do know that 4 of us fit inside with surfboards right down the middle, and that
using an airplane to explore and surf is a truly decadent way to go!! Closest I have ever been to feeling like a rock star!) every now and then.

BFS - where does the saratoga land? are you saying he's going in at TS now??
monoloco - great news, thx keep us posted i have always dreamed of the day we can land in TS again, makes the lure of prop purchase realistic.
i can get there in 4.5 hrs non stop from AZ. perfect micro climate.
to have a hangar would be the ultimate - i have several canned bldg plans which are for livable hangar condos for an AZ project which got put on hold
with the tankage.....

No Mike, unfortunately we cannot land in TS yet. I was referring to other strips further norte.

How about an L.A. Bay airport update?

another example of mexican efficiency.....officially closed according to DGAC notam. no operating permit on file.
planes come and go.
you can't get a filed flight plan to there from any towered operating airport so you have to file phantom to anyplace close with a current permit.
big joke essentially, who knows? it's mexico. go figure.
