Thanks to mr. Jack and Scott, my wife and i made it to cabo today for our 10 year anniversary vacation. on our first leg of trip, from marksville, LA to laredo, TX, we managed to have intermittent alternator failure. sitting at laredo on a saturday with a bad alternator and unable to order one until monday and not receive till tues...day, i started calling fbo's in search of the "needle in the haystack". and after about 10 calls, i was given the number to texas skyways. mr. Jack answered and told me that they would help in any way that they could. after about a 5 minute wait, he came back on phone with news that they had alternator that matched mine. this was around 1130 saturday. we put cowling on and headed to 5C1. arrived at 1430 and by 1500 i was headed back to laredo. again this was on a saturday. mr. Jack and Scott were very very helpful and great people! my wife and i made it to cabo today, one day late instead of 4 days late.

I have flown my Texas Skyways 1979 C-182 Q for 800 hours throughout Central America, lots of high altitude and short airfields. Routes are usually within the 150nm range and 12,500 ft cruises are very common. It is the perfect airplane for the mission, the only reason for flying a twin such as an Aztec or Seneca instead could be a large of Px load or px's fear of single engine planes. I plan on 15 gph conservatively and fly with EGT around 1350, which is VERY conservative.
