Nice picture. Did they finish the little chapel they were building?

Thanks for the nice photo. Is that the runway in the background?
Ken Bondy - 8-10-2015 at 06:35 PM
David - yes it is. Can't believe I lived through 20+ takeoffs and landings there.
ehall - don't know, it's been 10 years since I've been there. Sorry.

There were once hundreds of airports in Baja... a private pilot's paradise to go everywhere on the peninsula! So sad that most of them have been
ditched to stop drug runners from using them!
Here is a map you might have used, from 1975. Every number in a circle is an Airport (landing strip) in Arnold Senterfitt's book. The other two
numbers (for non-pilots here) are the strip's elevation and the runway length (in hundreds of feet). Meling's airstrip shows 2,280 feet above sea
level and a 2,700 foot long runway.

Anybody remember Harry (hairy) Mormon?

David my first trip to Meling was in 1975. I was using Senterfitt's 1973 edition - here's what Meling looked like there. I met him once - at Meling.
He was on a search and recover in the mountains:

LOL, I thought you could relate! Thanks!
