Hey Capt. I think he was talking about Punta Chivato air strip not Palo Verde. Haven't heard anything about the Palo Verde runway. Has anyone heard anything about Palo Verde or San Bruno yet?

well the report AS i read it referenced the military airport at Palo Verde/san bruno - i'll re check it. i hope i was wrong as that's very usable when clear - and the jets on the relief caravan have to have pavement.

man this is such a bad deal and soon the normally great fall WX starts, many people returning for their season and driving some economy.

That was the Palo Verde airport not Pt. Chivato. The Pt. Chivato run way is very wet yet and I'm told needs 3 days to dry out.

Joelt, No, I did. I had posted on the other thread about the Palo Verde airport and got confused. But that isn't to unusual a state of mind .... for me.
Things are drying out here and all the usual workers are here now cleaning and removing rubbish.

Just got a new report too on the runway here in Punta Chicato.
"Just got back from doing the runway (Sunday 10:45 local) Really in good shape. I have it smooth however it is slightly soft in spots... not wet soft just loose sand soft. overall pretty good. again be cautious on the edges... North end run up pad in great shape.... south end not as good."
Edit: and this.
"Anyone flying into Punta Chivato airstrip should “buzz” or overfly first as there will be folks working on it on starting Sunday 9/6/2009. This will warn them to get out of the way. The airstrip should continue firming up as the sun & wind dry it out more."
