Aircraft missing in Baja - 10/30/2006
We were contacted this afternoon by Don Johnson of the Hotel Serenidad
who indicated that an aircraft left Mulege on Monday, October 23 for the
US and is presumed to be lost and /or down. He was notified this
afternoon by relatives who expected the aircraft home early this week.
The aircraft departed Mulege Monday and encountered bad weather to the
North. The pilot returned to the Serenidad and waited about two hours
and made the decision to depart again to what it is believed to the
North.
In checking with San Felipe and Mexicali, the aircraft did not land or
report passing their station. And we have confirmed with both US Flight
Service and US Customs that the aircraft has not entered the US at any
US port of entry within the missing time period. It is presumed that it
either landed at a strip, made a hard landing damaging the aircraft so
it cannot fly, or has gone down somewhere between Mulege and Calexico.
The pilot is a seasoned Baja traveler and normally uses Calexico as his
port of entry into the US. The Emergency response group of the US Coast
Guard indicates that there has been no ELT signal reported by either the
US or Mexico.
The information is as follows:
Pilot: Gary Thomas
Passenger: Peggy Thomas
N Number: N9667Y
Aircraft: Beach Bonanza P35
City: Escalon
State: California
US Flight service has been notified of the missing aircraft along with
US Customs. In addition, San Felipe is broadcasting information of the
missing aircraft to all controlled Mexican airports in the Northwest.
If you have seen this aircraft in the last one week time period, please
contact the BBP at 480 730 3250 or the US Coast Guard at 510 437 3701.
If you call the Coast Guard, indicate that the call is in reference to
N9667Y.
And if you are flying from the US to Mulege, please watch for any signs
of the aircraft. And, even though it has been a long time, monitor
121.5 for any ELT signal.
