Flying Nomads ?


Hey Folks,

I'll be in Baja over the next month, and would love to link up with anybody that has a plane!! I've got a private single-engine/land license--mostly in Cessnas/Pipers/Super Decathalons, with aerobatics training, and would be more than happy to split costs to take a spin around Baja in the air !!

Have you not read Capt. Mike's posts?

He will do almost anything to get a rider to share costs and give him an excuse to FLY BAJA!

Matt, you are a great addition to this forum with your lust for adventure, sharing your trips, and having a Jeep and a dog!

Please know there is a TON of great stuff here on Nomad (and some garbage too from a few)... The Baja Trip Reports, Off Road, Historic Interests & Literature forums are places to spend time reading... get to know who here is nice and will share information without insults and name calling or thinking Baja is their private playground that no one else has a right to see after they found a spot they like!

Welcome aboard amigo!

p.s.


My pup'd be upset if I left her on-duty in the Jeep while I'm out flying around. She flies airplanes, rides motorcycles, and loves jetskis !!! She steers the Jeep real well, but we're still working on her clutch skills !!

I figured that might be your response since I seem to recall the word "aerobatics" in one of your posts. But please leave Mutt guarding your jeep, nothing worse that puppy puke at 15,000'!:rolleyes:

Hey Matt&Mutt.

I've been trying to form some share expense trips out of San Diego. I've never taken a dog so I would ask he rides in a kennel. It can be dangerous to have an unrestrained dog in a light aircraft.

Dogs in Airplanes


Hey there,

A poorly behaved pup might be a liability in a small plane if it gets into the pedals, but the last 3 pups I've had have all flown airplanes with nary an incident. The only consideration on my end is that it can be really loud inside small craft, and sometimes I worry about what it does to their ears. Turbulence would be unpleasant, but typically it's just pleasure flights on nice days that we take together.

But....nothing quite like the reception we got in Iowa City some time ago when we landed and taxied up to the control tower, laying backwards with our seats in full recline (could still see the runway), with the pup on the control yoke and us barking into the mike to ground control !! The dawg had his own chair in the pilot's lounge, and a lot of attention;)

Dogs + Airplanes = Lots of Fun

it's not a gang, it's a club, mang.... Screaming Airlines that is.

and....to be clear as i get requests all the time, but
NO PETS ALLOWED , PERIOD!!!!

i don't care how cute or well trained they are.
one guy in mulege i met at serenidad wanted to cover all the gas just to get his mutt down there from some place in the north west, he said the dog was too big for the airlines restrictions for cages in the pressurized baggage section or something like that.

my interior renovation in 2004 cost over $4,000. I ain't going to have it scratched or drooled on :biggrin:

i got dog checked twice in Nogales by customs after 2001 and their dog's romping sniffing for goods ruined my older cloth interior. never again......., sorry animal lovers.:smug:

O.K. Mike.
This also must exclude some aerobatics, where Matt is licensed for. No "barf" either on your precious upholstery.:no:

And I was so looking forward to some aerial acrobatics over our new, yet unfinished, golfcourse here in Loreto Bay.:biggrin:

It's boring here in this dusty neighborhood, which, according to a visiting buddy, resembles a warzone.




I think my photographic memory ran out of film

hahahahaha.........:smug:

1. AC is licensed in the "standard" catagory, no aerobat tricks permitted.
2. humans have upchucked in it before, only rarely, mainly due to over drinking night before, never from turbulence.
3. all who "ralphed" :barf: did so into 1 gal. heavy duty zip locks i keep in the front seat's back pockets. not a problem. they get to hold their specimens until landing and egress - such a joy.
4. no. 1s have been done in all manner of ways and successfully into many vessels. Both male and female wizzers.
5. no. 2s ...............well i'm not saying here but Depends are a good thing and i'll let it go at that!!:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

6. as for the 1500 meters high club.........i never looked back at what i can't say here didn't happen once!

That's what I'm talking about. Dogs can panic when scared and overwelm the pilot.

Dogs in planes


A leash will easily attach to a 3-point seatbelt or alternate tie-down points. Can't see how it'd be any type of worry if the pup has no access to the yoke/pedals/throttle/mixture controls.....

Barf at 10k feet ?? Sheez, at least I can control how many margaritas & fish tacos the pup ingests pre-flight.... Flown several pups, in a variety of circumstances, and the only pukers that I've ever had hobbled away on 2, not 4, legs....

Guess staying home with extra batteries for the remote might be more prudent....

simple answer on pets in planes.......if it's your pet, get your own plane!!
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

i have several friends who fly their pets back and forth to their baja homes.

it only takes one mess of a dog's inerds coming from whichever orifice to ruin the day, the flight, the fabric.:mad:
