Will my 10' 6" surfboard fit in the hold or do we just strap it to the wing? :cool:

Yes it is Part 135. We are certificated for single pilot so if you want a trip you can sit Rt seat. I have flown with board (short) to Isla Natividad
in the past. Air strip not currently registered with current permit but Baja Bush pilots are working on expedited process to get permits up and current at several airports. In the 9 seat Navajo I have a total length of about 15 feet... so.
Hopefully we all stay healthy and can once again the joys of Baja.
Viva Baja
Cheers.

In 1996 I showed up at Brown field with my board to fly to Natividad in a twin engine Cherokee and pilot ended up putting the board down the center aisle. :biggrin: We had a great adventure. After 2nd day we flew down to Abreojos, via GN air strip for fuel, in the early morning to get waves there until the wind on the island got 'right'. Always wanted to recreate that trip. Maybe we will get a chance to do so. Hope springs eternal. I saved your contact info.

How timely, given the current situation.

I suspect you will be flying many more northbound, in the near future.

Will the State Dept preclusion against nonessential travel, that is expected to be announced tomorrow, affect you? I am not familiar with Part 135. Enlighten us.
