Last time I landed there was on the big dirt runway in town. The paved runway was owned by the salt company.
The salt company donated the paved runway to the city and they closed the dirt runway.
It's run by the military but I'm like 99% sure it's open for private aircraft. A couple of small airlines fly in there. And ofcouse the salt company
still uses it.
But I'll find out for sure before I try landing there.

I'm pretty sure they do now. Just no fuel. But I'll have plenty for the round trip.
Huh ???...Pretty sure ???? |

That's flight simulator you must be referring to. 
Brings back fond memories of my instructor yelling "Put the nose down, put the nose down!" We always ran for the nearest Jack and coke afterwards.....

so much for coco logic...so the tentative plan is to arrive in GN on friday the 27th for an early dinner at sto.remedio and go out to the lagoon
saturday 28th and depending on weather camp at the lagoon and stay till sunday if it is nice....much depends on weather and a billion other things or
course...hard to make definate plans in baja...which sucks if you are trying to rent a plane I guess.

I tried calling Shari this morning pero no en casa.
Okay, I guessed wrong and scheduled the plane for the wrong weekend.
What I meant was Sat. Feb 29 to Mon. March 2.
I am flying on Sat Feb 14 with my instructor just to warm up and train a little.
The other Sat. in Feb is the 21st.
So what day is the Party? The 24th is a Tuesday.
And for the record. I spelled Guerrero wrong. I'll fix it.

Hey Buck-
Being that my birthday falls on Feb. 29 (Leap Year), I can assure that you're wrong again....maybe Saturday Feb. 28th. Maybe you could buy one of
those Baja calendars

Okay. I did guess right. I reajusted the scehdule. I will leave San Diego at about 9-10am Friday morning. That should get us to Guerrero Negro at
around 3pm.
I kept the Monday but will leave Sunday morning if we see whales on Saturday.
So, Friday Feb 27 to Sunday March 1, with the option to stay one more day if needed.
Anymore questions, comments, or ridicule?

Here is the flight plan if we fly to Ensenada from San Diego. I will use this flight plan if the weather is clear along the coast.

Looks like a confident pilot to me! How many flight hours have you logged? IFR?VFR? What is the weight limit including bags?
Thanks!

" Looks like a confident pilot to me! How many flight hours have you logged? IFR?VFR? What is the weight limit including bags?

1) Confidence: Yes, it will be an easy flight. The hardest part is getting the money.
2) I have about 400 hours and about 50 hours of PA-32-300 time. All of the PA-32 time is Baja.
3) The flight will be VFR. I have some instrument dual but haven't finished the rating yet. Besides if the conditions are IFR we aren't going even if
I had the rating. IFR means the weather sucks.
4) The plane will carry 5 passengers and 1 pilot. I've never carried more than 5 total so that I can carry more fuel and baggage. But on this trip I'm
planning 4 total so maybe 50lbs of gear each. We'll only be there for a few days so we'll be traveling light.

Your navigational computer:
This is a smaller version of the same type of GPS that a modern airliner uses. My plane has one and it works very well.
In Baja I normally navigate by looking out the windshield but a smart pilot always backs that up with his instruments as well.
