Default Safety of aircraft in Mexico..

Guymas is an international airport your equipment is very, very safe in
the airplane, certainly safer than in a hotel. In Mexico, airport
security at most small dirt strips is tighter than security at LAX.
Many airports have their own outposts complete with a hummer and 10-15
guards with M-16's 24x7 (you can hear them listening to Shakira on the
radio at night). Everytime you walk up to your plane you are greeted by
someone with an M-16 asking you to demonstrate your paperwork.


You are not allowed to leave your plane overnight in Mexico unless there
is 24/7 security.
