I made an unscheduled pit stop in Huatulco on my way from San Diego to Panama. Fueled up at the Shell dock after paying a small mordida at the Capitania’s office. Before I left, they explained that I was never there. Beautiful little port, with a long cruise ship dock and a few pretty resorts. At least, it looked that way from my POV for a few hours one Sunday morning.

We flew on a beautiful DC-3 Air Liberdad airplane from Huatulco to Oaxaca. Two pilots in blue Nomex jump suits jogged out to the plane and fired up. The engines remained at the same pitch on take off and cruise. When Oaxaca came into view, the pilots cut the engines and we drifted in, coming to a stop right at the terminal.
I think we were doing about 90 mph between the mountain peaks. I think I could have yelled down to some folks on the highway below.
Oaxaca Airport terminal had a thatched roof and onyx floor.
