Thank you, Vince. After some of the scary How-I-Narrowly-Escaped creative writing efforts we've had on this board, your realistic view is refreshing.

SORRY for the confusion! I (Vince) posted the comments of Pat, the pilot because he is not a NOMAD. I transferred it over from the BAJA BUSH PILOT website. Doesn't matter, Pat has the right idea and the right stuff to not let the ******** get him down and get right back to Mulege in a new 206. Yes, there was a 210 hijacked from Serenedad last November. That one was never recovered, the owner has continued to fly to Serenedad. We are all hoping the army will help prevent further theft now that they have returned.

Thanks for clearing that one up, 'Vince.' :lol: When I first read that I had to do a double take, because I was pretty sure it wasn't you! ;D

Aloha...No confusion, Vince, I read the BBP report first and knew what you meant with 'From the hijacked pilot.'

A few more planes stolen over the years: Vince, maybe you remember way, way back when?....a neighbor of ours had his twin Aztez stolen from the Serinadad strip? Granted that was back in the dark ages....;)

That particular plane did not make it very far, nor did the thieves. As fuel ran out to the engines soon after takeoff, the twin crashed and exploded 50 feet under a Mulege hilltop just before dawn. It was quite an exciting morning, as the town thought it was the aircraft owner and me burned to a crisp...instead of two plane thieves from the mainland.

Never a dull moment, eh?

On planes...there was a great airshow over San Diego Bay this weekend.




I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.
