 Russ,
 That's Mulege Municipal Airport - not sure how much it's used these days.

 Russ yours is pointing to the old mulege aero club that was built by Lou Federico in the 60s but has long ago closed down. it is on the north side of
the river but was replaced by the serenidad strip when Don built the hotel who's strip was favored and for safety. I just finished Lou's book and yes
it was ONE HELL OF A RIDE!!!
 
 Diver's pic appears to be the club aero strip but was it taken eons ago? it ain't like that today. if it is an archived pic it is the only one i ever
saw!
 what say you diver?? what is it and when?

 The photo I swiped had no date but it is obviously pretty old.
 I was thinking late 60's or early 70's ?
 It's from the Wikipedia site.
 
 Where's Pompano ?   He or Dusty will know.

 Mulege club Aero claimed quite a few accidents over the years, the ones in Lou's book are unreal. especially when they would routinely come in at
night with car headlights. and that strip was sooooo short with a very steep grade. frightening.
  
 and more than one met his end while flying drunk. bad news.
