John, of course. 775-856-9539 Some background that might also help: -- the Checklist that I use for my trips outside the USA -- a recent video covering changes in Mexico as of Jan2024:

We’re making good progress on our circumnavigation, and today we’re caravaning with pilot friend Alberto… from Veracruz to Mérida, and thereafter by ground to Sisal for some beach time. Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

I can only speak to single-engine piston aircraft (e.g. C172)... from my experience over hundreds of flight hours, XP12 is significantly better (performance, weather, flight model) than XP11. Wayne

Bill, Joe and I are well underway on our flying adventure all around Mexico. And today will be one of our more adventuresome flying days… as we cross the Sierra Madre, refuel in Monterrey, and head down the Gulf of Mexico to Veracruz. Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

Point that 'ol arrow southward... and enjoy! Thanks for watching, Wayne

Hi, John, I passed on your "hi" to Joe... somewhere along this trip we were all exclaiming about our (at one time) hitch hiking prowess. Cool! Thanks for watching, Wayne

Today, best buds Bill, Joe, and I are off on our 6th Flying Adventure, this time flying around Mexico. As detailed in Part 1 of this series, we plan to be 17 days in-country, with 8 flying days. This morning at the break of dawn we’re off to clear customs in Puerto Peñasco, on to Obregón for a...

I was putting together a little video and asked Google Gemini (successor to Bard): "please create a cartoon image of 3 old men flying a small aircraft around Mexico" The conversation wasn't perfect, but it was fun!

Got my G100UL STC some months ago... and my cylinders are eager to get the lead out. Wayne

Looking for our next flying adventure, Bill, Joe, and I plan a trip all around Mexico. In this first episode of the series, we overview our selection of locations and outline our flight planning. Welcome aboard! Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

Confirm that you're indeed on the Logbook tab... not the Flights tab?? Logbook tab (bottom)... + sign (upper right)... select any date, Close (upper left; don't by mistake hit Now)... then continue to make the logbook entry. Screenshot?

In this short video we reference and summarize a presentation and related checklist that seeks to capture the What and How to make adventure flights to Mexico happen. What documents do you need… what process to follow… and what’s new for Mexico GA travel in 2024. We check it all out with a day...

Just one data point... my channel has ~3000 subscribers yielding revenue of about US$19/month. Seems the real money must be in sponsors and Patreon.

We didn't do the air rally... we "rolled our own" air tour from California to the Eastern Caribbean in Jan-2020: ... absolutely a great time!

UL94 I assume? Would love to see G100UL somewhere/anywhere :).

YMMV, but I find Windy.com a more enjoyable (for certain) and likely a more productive experience. And then for a formal briefing, make a "Flight" in ForeFlight and click Briefing.

Plus... every week some 19-year old would-be pilot posts on POA "When I was 10 years old I was prescribed ADHD meds, haven't been on them for years, now what do I do?". Usually with time/$$$, the FAA hurdles can be overcome... but just seems a severe and discouraging hurdle.

Rich, I purchased PlanePerfect and it seems to work fine... but the spray bottle nozzle leaked a bunch during flights. I twisted the nozzle to try to stop the drip but to no avail... Rich, do you have a special trick? Thanks, Wayne

I tried the AWC Beta... but I remain with Windy for all mid/long-term forecasts... and ForeFlight Imagery/Briefings for short-term.
