Would this plane have flown?

Nice research.

information:

| "2) A&P mechanics working on US aircraft in Mexico
| Requested by the BBP (Baja Bush Pilots) at the meeting,
the DGAC (Dirección
| General de Aeronáutica Civil), after consulting with their
legal persons (at
| the meeting) indicated that this requirement was not a
rule or law and that
| US A&P mechanics can work on US aircraft in Mexico without
the presence of
| or signing off by a Mexican A&P. This major change will
make repairs much
| simpler and less expensive for anyone who has a problem in
Mexico. The DG
| indicated that he will be sending a message to all ICAO
airports addressing
| this situation this week."

| All of this is academically-speaking, of course. Don't
take it personally,
| I'm just trying to show the benefits of doing a bit of
googledigging before
| heading off in that nice Mooney of yours to a remote
location in a foreign
| country.

|
| Having a local mechanic work on your plane only solves
1/2 the problem
| because the plane is again illegal as soon as you get
back to the
| states since you would need another log entry from a
U.S. mechanic. I

have the A&P do
