It was not a good day for Jack"El Jeffe" McCormick head of the Baja Bush Pilots Association.
He witnessed a P210 being stolen from Mulege. Later that day he flew his Aero Commander to another Mexican airport and on landing the main gear collapsed. Nose gear stayed down so the props didn't hit the ground. He got a fork lift and lifted the airplane up and got the main gear down and locked. He parked the airplane on the ramp and left for home. Later got a call and was told that a corporate jet had blown his Commander into a hangar. Much damage.
