Number one, for some reason I just never thought of Mexico as
having an air force for some reason.

If I recall correctly, the first military use of an aircraft occurred
in Mexico. While that fact doesn't directly address the subject of
Mexico's current air force, it does indicate that Mexico's place in
military aviation history is assured.

Was it Loughead or Curtiss that shipped an early design across the
border, that was used to strafe the decks of a military ship?
