Beautiful day for a flight

Beautiful day for a flight

The little group take off from Mesa, Arizona, and head for Loreto on the Baja coast. The sea down there is teaming with wildlife and the fishing is fantastic. The flight should take about three and half hours. Jens lays back and enjoys the ride while Jim flies the plane. About half an hour away from Loreto, they spot clouds ahead. Jim tries to contact coastguards for a weather update, but has no joy. Assuming it is just a squall ahead, he flies right on in to it.
