Meandering over Old Mexico (And Points North)

Pulled the trigger on the deal for the "light twin". Once I cleaned out the cabin and put a little gas in it, it was good to go. It was kind of a tight fit getting it out of there though. Had a pretty good flight to MMLM via MMCL.
 
:jump:Hot Dog! It was sure a lot easier getting out of Topia than landing here. At least this time I kept my eyes opened.
 
Flew on to Chihuahua. Just hoping I don't get bit by some mean lil dog.....

Pics are a bit scrambled up.
 
Heading north to Chihuahua as the jungles and forests are giving way to scrub and desert.

Note the peculiar pointy peak off to starboard.
 
Hey there! Some more photos from flight #19. Now, most of these were taken before take off.
:ipepsi2:
 
Fred's collected up so many soveigniers that I had to get a little bigger aeroplane. Anyway it was a good flight to Casa Grande.
 
Rather pleasant flight over rugged terrain to Nogales. (Interesting landings in a tight box canyon). Two Czech planes along for this segment; LET 410 piloted by Falcon and myself in a Avia 57 (on temporary loan).

Willy took out a tamale stand departing MMCG but we distanced ourselves before the local authories could do anything about it.
 
A thoroughly interesting and entertaining flight. Taking off from MMCG was interesting in that I didn't use enough runway for the Boeing and not to mention the tamale stand, I took the tops out of a couple of trees on the end of the runway. And then when I was leveling off at cruise altitude, otto decided it would be fun to put the Stratoliner into a tail stand. Got that all sorted out and had a decent flight to Nogales. Nogales was entertaining as it was down in a hole and I just barely cleared the top edge of it on final. Then I bounced it hard enough that I was looking back down into the hole again. I did finally manage to get it down and stopped though without too much more tension.

Now to go clean the tamales out of the wheel well.....
 
After I got through picking pinecones out of the engines, we flew on to MMPE on the coast. Nice flight, even if I did almost have a mid-air just after takeoff. We're about to run out of Mexico.
 
I was having issues with the Stratoliner, so I swapped for the DC-3 for the flight to Mexicali (MMML). Nice flight and I stayed kind of low.

It's amazing what you can find south of the border! I think I've found my new ride. I'm ready when yall are!
 
Nice flight into Tijuana. Although apparently my airport scenery is about a half mile from the default...
 
:running: Heck, we got a late start out Mexicali due to some mechanical problems (Couldn't logon the Muliti player) with the plane, but finally got going and headed for TJ. Hopefully, we will catch up with Flight 19.
 
We left Mexico and went north of the border to Yuma Arizona. Great flight with good company. Even if there was some talk of Customs looking for me in Yuma...
