That was awesome Greg and Capt. Mike!! I so want to fly with you sometime.Dad won't do it, seems he had a real bad experience in the past flying with
one of his buddies in a single engine to Gonzaga(circa 1965).
Happiness is just a Baja memory away...

hey Greg that was fun. you are the 1st person to make video of my flights available for people to see. thx for your most excellent effort!!
i have dozens of hours taken over the years flying mexico since 1978 but the tapes are all on sony 8 mm cassettes, beta, VHS, and VHS-C in my library.
and both my beta and VHS machines no longer work!! 
so i hope to get them transfered to digital files and can do as DVDs and be able to post online some day.
there are some gems in there for sure, most of which i haven't watched in eons.
looking forward to part 2.

Cool - glad eveyone's enjoying it ... thanks!
Mike - that's a nice looking new ride you have now! Was the other Comanche just aging or does the new one do better tricks? 
Hopefully you'll be able to digitize all that old video and make an hour long documentary... that would be really cool...
Thanks again!

Loreto is usually out of the north, i can't recall that one but must have been some if you noticed a crab angle on final.
8 minutes rule only applies if it's the last stop! ha. 
new paint and interior was done 2004 summer 'cause it was just time. that bird was made in 1961 so you have to refurbish 'em periodically. i added
in-flight movies then too. 2 screens.
making digital transfers of my video histories is on my want list, maybe this is the year it gets done!

mike I wasn't sure but I thought I saw wind waves suggesting a pretty good wind out of the east, and then I thought I saw you bring the nose around a
little bit just before touchdown. Anyway I loved the whole film, brought back lots of great memories particularly the low stuff around PSFO.

Hey Ken,
I think what you're seeing there turning on to final at Loreto are the waves refracting around that rounded point. The wind was indeed cranking
primarily out of the north but it sure looks more east in the video.
Near Gonzaga while kayaking we were once pinned by a strong norher on a protected beach. Even though the beach was protected by a significant point,
the refracting waves crashed directly on the beach looking as if they were rolling in from the ENE... yuk ... see:

Hey, congrats on the photo contest win by the way!
