Mexican Regs

[Freight Dawg]

You pax drivers never get to see the "nicer" parts of Mexico, in the Lear I have been to the following places one to many times: MMIO (Saltio), MMCU (Chiuachua), MMMY (Monterey), MMGL (Guadlajara), MMTO (Toluca), MMAS, (Auga Caleintese), MMHO (Hermisilio), MMMX (Mexico City), MMLO (Leon), MMCS (Juarez), MMGM (Guaymas) and about six others. It isn't always nice and pretty, especailly when your broker doesn't show up. Of course this is flying in and out late at night on demand freight, Later Dudes!

I forgot, congrats b350capt for clarifying the training capt qualification and listing your seat with your name. I feel very humble to able to type and post in your presence, forgive me sire

B350 Capt

good job for all the hot info, yeah I been to Mochis, Culiacan, and Maz

in addition to all over Mexico, I have been to Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, Panama, Cuba, Nicaragua, Honduras, and other such places.

Never had to pay a bribe to anyone carrying a gun anywhere, ever. Some Coca-Cola and some Playboys always helped tho

next time I fly into Bogota I will PM you for your outstanding advice

frieght dawg - no attitude needed, the post wasnt in respones to you. satpak is assuming that just beacuse he has had different experiences that all others are only watching movies or are inexperienced bafoons which clearly shows a lack of maturity and respect for other airmen. of course a student pilot doesnt know everthing, but doesnt mean it should be grounds to degrade his contribution, whether right or wrong. and thats great that sat's been all over down south, so have many others. and i never said you HAD to bribe them, i said it makes it easier, which it DOES. so my question is, whats the difference between beers and smokes, and coke and playboys? seems like the same thing to me. I did mention sodas, which last time i checked Coca-cola fell into that category. and i wouldnt be of any help in bogota, never been there. mexico however i do know...and lets see, maz, culiacan, and mochis are all towered airports and serviced by major handling companies....note i mentioned places that had no tower and were only attended by federal and or state police. obviously theres going to be a difference. but anyway, why are we having a pissing match about it anyway, the poor guy who asked the question is probably either long moved on or is so freaked out that he'll never go there anyway, lol! cheers gents.....thanks for the joust! p.s. dawg, i'll be sure to pass along your sentiments to all the others on the board who happen to mention seat position.....

OK, ya got out of it. Handlers are important in on demand non resort locations, it can be very uneasy at times. I have thought a few times we were gonna throw down with the locals, damn federales just turned their backs.

lol, yeah i know what you mean dawg...managed never to get into any real trouble with them, that was my only point to warn the guy who started this post to expect some tension if he went to a rural airport, and how far simple things like beer, soda, etc can go. i personally hate trying to mess around down there without a handler...do-able of course, but so much easier when you get a friendly hello senors, paperwork looks good, how much turbosina do you need, heres your paperwork and flight plan, bye! lol
