the way Mexicans do their surnames - parents can have different last names than their children - its wierd. Your last name could be the last name of
your mother. Your father might have a diff last name.

I was surprised to see the location of the crash site this morning. Leaves me with many questions.
Left early for the ranch of Juan Cunningham this morning, a couple kilometers north of the military checkpoint at Km 25
north of Loreto.
After coffee, Juan pulled out his binoculars and reference the point of impact. Maybe 1000 feet below and north of one of the highest peaks in the
mountain chain at 5800 feet. Juan had watched recovery efforts over three or four days, through his field glasses.
On your chart, From San Jose de Comandu, look east to the 5800' peak.
An aircraft on course, Loreto direct Ciudad Constitucion, why was he so far north of course.
Peaks are taller at the crash site than behind Loreto.
P.S. I'd sent ya a picture but my camera died.

Factors that would be a good guess causing the pilot to divert from the direct course could be severe turbulence, or drawn to what could appear to be
a course to better visibility, or dealing with a possible malfunction such as an electrical failure affecting navigation equipment. As a single pilot
aircraft the situation they were in with the storm would be more than a handful for the most experienced pilot. Of course there are a multitude of
other problems to be considered.
