CT4ME Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 The 2012 Whales Baja Fly-in trip is on the calendar. March 8-12, 2012. The Whales trip rivals the Page Fly-in as a Great Flying Adventure. This years event will use Loreto as the home base. For those of you who have wanted to "do Mexico", but haven't, here's your opportunity. The trip is sponsored by the Baja Bush Pilots, and will probably have 25-40 planes. On our first trip, a few years back, 65 showed up. To fly to Mexico, Sport pilots will need a medical (or a full Private license). Flying in the Baja is safe and a real hoot. We can coordinate our flights down from Southern CA or AZ. More information available here: Whales 2012 trip info Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT4ME Posted March 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Weather is looking PERFECT... Clear skies and 80 degrees! About 55 aircraft participating. Besides the whale petting, there's a beach clam bake planned, and group meals. Optional kayaking, golf, fishing, mountain biking, scuba, ATVs, and touring some 300-year-old missions.
