Hey. I'm just there to handle the margaritas, carnitas and señoritas. Basically, all things that end in "itas". :rofl:

Besides, DJ will be all enthralled with talking airplanes, twins, STOL, blue lines and red lines. You see someone has to keep the ladies entertained while all this is going on in a foreign land. :bud:

Edit:! I just realized that my avatar looks a lot like ----> :bud:

I think we need to put together a BT caravan to Mexico.

OMG!!! A BT trip to Colonial Mexico!! Queretaro is a World Heritage site. Alex, when you say "San Miguel" are you referring to San Miguel de Allende? That would be over the top! How long is the flight from say McAllen/Brownsville? :pray:

On second thought, that Miguel dump looks like it'll do nicely! :thumbup:

KBRO to MMQT 350NM.

Alex,

We'll have a new baby around here in a couple weeks so travel is less flexible for a bit. My first Navajo trip to Mexico will be to the clinic in Baja in October.

I think a trip like this would make for an epic BT gathering. Maybe half time at the beach and half time in the old country.

Vamos hermanos!

I'm sorry for all the questions but my WingXPro map does not go that far south. Ok, 2:15-2:30 from Texas border. There looks to be some pretty serious mountains to be traversed. How high are those mountains to the east?

I think the 340 will get over them...

Hey! I'm doing this so you can talk 340-speak with Alex. I'll check-out the golf course and various "itas" while you are practicing short field take-offs at the 6,700' msl airport in San Miguel. See, it is really all about you. :thumbup:

Here's the preferred route from KMFE. Fly KMFE to Victoria (CVM) to Tamuin (TMN) with an MEA of 7000'. From TMN the MEA goes up to 13K all the way to Queretaro. To the east of Q MEAs are in the 15/16K range.

Quick facts - Queretaro (downtown) is a world heritage site. San Miguel de Allende is 40 miles west and a quick 40 minute drive. If and when the airport opens at SMA, it will be a short flight from MMQT.

If we organize a fly-in (down), I've been talking with Erik Eliel about coming down and holding a radar seminar (RTI) for some gringo pilot friends down here and I could see about scheduling it then so at least the aviation excuse would be fully justified with my wife!

The 340 is right at home in this high terrain by the way. For NA guys, we could plan this for the CAVU season in the fall (summer is storm season). There are some serious mountains but it's beautiful country.

Another quick fact. MMQT to PV is 1.5 hours in the 340. 1 hour to Ixtapa (MMZH).

I'm in! Maybe November? I should be in good shape with the 340 by then hopefully

Guess its time
