there's a long story about the "aztec eagles" on the bajagay site. yes there is a bajagay site and the search for mexican air force landed me there.
not that there's anything wrong with that.
I forgot to mention that the quote above and this one came from an article originally posted by Ken
Although I'm sure that it's been updated many times since WWII the Fuerza Aerea in Cipres, just south of Ensenada, is a Mexican Air Force relic from
that era.
"..which the commission adopted as its Fourth Recommendation on 10 April 1942. After some backing and filling a joint survey got well under way and
recommended three sites as primary airdromes-El Cipres, six miles south of Ensenada; Camalu, just south of San Jacinto; and Trinidad,
about eighteen miles south of La Ventura."

And although that web site shows "no registered members" it is apparently geared towards ex-pats since
the article is written in perfect English.

Thanks Ken... nice slow pace... do you have any film of the bad sections?
Russ was not able to withdraw any money from his Bank of America ATM while in Mexicali. Leidys filmed me enjoying my Latin music while we
waited...for breakfast, and Russ.
That sucks... I hope he had enough DOLLARS for the trip! Dollars are accepted gladly everywhere in Baja and a recent Nomad reported the exchange rate
at the Pemex stations was better than what the Casa de Cambio was offering.
I was able to loan Russ cash, and we continued on without it being a problem. The ATM Machines in Mexicali required a 'chip' that our ATM/Debit cards
don't have. Good thing I brought dollars to spend, or our trip would have been just like Baja Grande 2011. No food, no gas, no cash...
I'm not sure my ATM card was rejected because it lacked a chip. When I got home, I had a new BofA debit card in my mailbox. The bank said that they
cancelled my old debit card and issued me a new one because a merchant reported a possible compromise of card and PIN numbers. The letter was
postmarked the day before I left home so it probably arrived the day after I left. I wish they would have notified me by phone or email instead of
just cancelling the card and sending me a new one by snail mail.
If you don\'t like the way I drive, stay off the sidewalk!

I can happily report that, "Yes, I do!" I have on video a Full Size Chevy on 35s w/6" of lift attempting 'Basketball Hill' and lower Enmedio Canyon.
I will post that video here in the next week. Here is a short preview.
