I do it all the time --and my Bo isn't a great
short field performer . She's a speed Baby !!! When I depart, I always try to be lighter --and when she gets to altitude is where she shines --. I
used to depart almost grossed in my Lance, but no more.
What's the word on the work at San Felipe ?/ any good news ?
Let me know if you are headed down --I will try to go at the same time .

I wondered what happened to him --The 172 wasn't around this year.
We only have about 5 regulars that fly in . The license ids up to date, I just got new socks last year and gonna get 2 new ones for this coming
season. I am also going to pour more concrete for my pad. It is the one behind the Pemex. I can't believe that it has been over twenty years since I
poured the original !

well Bob if that place can't get some grading in i think i'll pass. i just don'y need the extra excitement these days. 1700 ft and some wind in the
nose and i am OK, but 1500 ft and soft stuff is for tail draggers.
which brings me to this Q for Diver Dale -
what do you think about picking up at gonzaga? isn't it a lot closer than San Felipe?
or i meet you at SF on your way in from San Diego and do the ride with you.
only problem is getting the plane for any day shoots. we can work it out.

You're the Captain --
What ever you're comfortable with Mike. As I mentioned, I do it all the time and there are at least 4 other regulars too.
The entire strip was regraded in May 2008 , but the rains have just washed in too much sand on the South end.
My ex-partner in our first two plane now flies a V35, and we have a 206 and another B-33 , a Navion and a Warrior that go in and out ! Mike and I have
been flying to Puertecitos since 1980.

Mike: You can solve your Problem with a good 170B. 1200 Ft into Pulpito all the Time, no Sweat!
Went Flying the other day in a !72 with the 180 Lyc. No constant Speed Prop.
Spent 1,7 Hours in the left seat, the Instructor told me he would sign me off the same day,
But Mike at 77 years old and double hearing Aids, it is just to damn Noisy!!
Even through the Doc gave me a current Medical, I have decided that it is time to let someone else do the Flying.
Maybe someday I will get that ride with you. Good Luck

anytime yur ready Skeet! you did win the raffle remember.
glad to hear you're getting in some stick time.
the only reason i don't have a 170B is it would take me too dang long to get there! i am up for speed, so i go comanche fast! gotta get to mexico fast
and gotta get home fast too.

Mike, Puertecitos is almost exactly halfway between San Felipe and Gonzaga Bay (50 miles either way... 45-55 by road). The islands are closer to
Gonzaga, however...

And the road being paved from San Felipe to Puertecitos is a big incentive.

Yeah, but it's still a mesican road!!
When I am goofing around, exploring, I don't mind 4 wheeling. But when I wanta be sittin on the front porch or fishin, I don't want to be driving !
45 minutes to San Felipe from Yuma , and then another 15 minutes to Puertecitos. Lou, when you have one of them --nuttin to do daze, call me and I
will pick you up at the airport and we can see some country !!

Mike... you do have one more airport option: El Vergel (at Hwy. Km. 35) is exactly halfway between San Felipe and Puertecitos... and the highway is
all new paved road from there to Puertecitos. There is a police substation right there, too.

I'd love to do that Bob. I'll be in contact when I get back down there this fall.

DK - yes thx i know el vergel, the problem is that one is private, if you don't own a home there you cannot land without prior permission. and the
owners do the maintenance pay for it themselves so they want it private. using it for landing and park is a no-no. plus it is way too short and under
1500 ft and no status reports avail.
i'll see if Dale wants to meet me at Gonzaga sometime or just get a ride with him from San Felipe. or do Puertocitos after Bob reports on fresh
grading, ha!

A while back I harshed on Dale's business. I apologise.
Dale's boat looks very cool. I guess I'll just need to work a little more overtime if I want to hang out with an and enjoy a classy operation like
Dale's.
I hope Captn Mike can blaze the trail here and figure out the best way to fly in.
Looks like a great 1-2 trip for some quick fishing and diving.
The spearfishing look very good there!

i hate it when i mis spell "their"
Bucky - 5 guys want to go to BOLA , they are from santa barbara.
i can't go and have only 3 seats extra but i mentiioned Tom at 1st flight has a 6 and he can find a pilot. do you want to take them? i have a number,
they might lurk here.
i think they'd drive to Brown. their only other option is Baja Airventures and paying airtaxi rates. they DO NOT WANT to DRIVE!!!!

Sounds good Cap!
I'm checking with 1st Flight for aircraft availablity.
If you want to U2U me the number I'll call them with some possible dates.
Ya, the drive is torture.
(Looks like I'm not winning the spelling bee either)
