Oh yeah, a couple of other points I forgot. Part of the fee is based on
airplane wingspan, so our Lancair 360 was the minimum. A IV would probably be
more. The other point -- bring passports or good photo ID(?). They were used
for the visa they gave us on landing. There is a program where you can pay a
bit more, but then you can enter multiple times per year. One thing necessary
for it is to have 3 (three) copies of everything when you enter, then you can
get a mulitple entry permit. You'll still pay some fees, but others become
cheaper. I don't have the notes on all this right now, but if there is
interest I can dig them up. All in all, our experience was fine, and we will
be doing it again, but I know several members of a social flying club we
belong to won't fly in MX anymore due to various bad experiences. So it may
have a lot to do with where you choose to go. Charles Patton LNC2 N360JM
We were just down to Alamos, MX in late January, and they weren't bothered at
all by the fact that is experimental, We flew into Cuidad Obregon for a port
of entry. They just wanted the papers; registration, proof of Mexican
insurance, and pilot's license, and proof you're allowed to fly the plane --
i.e., if the plane is registered to a corporation, then you need to have the
corporation's permission to fly the plane. Fees totaled just under $100 US.
