Baja Airplanes
Hey Captain Mike, flying back from San Fransiquito a few weeks ago, I saw this on the ramp in San Felipe. I guess it belongs to th El Dorado Ranch
Developement. It looked like they did an outsatnding, "nip and tuck" job!
Sure would be great to see some old photos of planes in Baja...actually any planes on dirt airstrips in Baja would be pretty cool!

Mike, my old Baja racing partner Chuck, and I, are buying one of the new light sport aircraft because Chuck is nervous about flunking a physical.
Mine is fine, and my United pilot daughter is going to get me current.
Question, do you know if we can fly it 'out of country?"
I would love to fly a slow, light, pump gas burning two seater all over the peninsula.... sort of like the old 'Senterfit' stuff.

The DC3 flies from San Francisco bay area each weekend to San Felipe with prospective customers for El Dorado.

runner - yes the LSA catagory can go to baja, just have to have the same paperwork in order. but watch your gas and range, many of them don't have
much - never pass up an opportunity to buy avgas in baja, you may need it 'cause the next stop may be out!
look in to a mogas STC too.

Capt. Mike, it looked great!
Any idea what a plane like this would cost with the conversion? Just seems like it would be the perfect Baja plane to take six or more people and
cargo to some of the really remote spots on the peninsula. What about a Charter Service?

Clipper invited...
Capt. Mike, we have invited these guys to Juan y Juan's for their shakedown flight. Haven't heard from them yet, but will let you know. Carlos Fiesta
is still working on Jimmy Buffet's group to see if they'd like to come back as well...
