Great picture, Thanks! Ours had really big tires for off-airport landing.

I flew Twin Otters for 36 years, on and off airports, in Alaska without breaking anything. Best time of my life.

Looking at the remaining operational webcams, the wind at this time looks to be close to 0. Maybe there is a little but I can not see it via the cameras. Tomorrow forecast is good. Alaska Pilots that fly in Alaska, can land anywhere. Might skid off the end of the runway, but they land. Test your pucker limits into any one of the airport in SE Alaska, PWS or Kodiak. In comparison, ZIH looks like the salt flats.

Ironically, I, "Max", arrive tomorrow and Alaska has made no mention of a possible delay, etc.

Looks like the Ixtapa/Z area will dodge a bullet this time.

It jinked to the right (east) between 06:00 and 09:30, and it's making landfall at this moment. I suspect the road will be blocked with landslides around El Calvario. Let's hope the bridges in Petatlán and Técpan hold up.

I received an email from AeroMexico today advising me that my flight from MEX to ZIH on October 12 might be affected by Tropical Storm Max.

I wouldn’t think there would still be adverse affects for flying then. We’ll see.

Probably tropical storm (Max) to hit us Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning. Better news (more accurate) on Monday, I think.

They are calling this a tropical depression. Is there any forecast that predicts this turning into a hurricane??
