I'm looking for a guy who I believe belongs to a ultralight flying club in David. I think his name is Gary Pitts. I'm sure any member of the club would know him I've lost his phone number. Thanks for your help.

  I have his email if that will help. If so, just pm me.

Can you tell me if this info is still accurate and do you know anything about flying a N registered Experimental plane in Panama. Are there HP Experimental planes, are there many homebuilders in Panama? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

  I too am searching for information regarding general aviation in Panama. I'm female, a pilot, a broker for private air charter, live in David Panama, semi retired. Can't find G.A. in David. Any info would be helpful.

wow fellow pilots, I owned a M20c for years. Only fly it out of the US once, into central Mexico. Anyone wanting to split the cost of renting and flying please contact me. Super :-)

We will be down there soon.

Just a thought...

Would anyone be willing to help me relocate my pets when I'm ready to relocate to Panama next year. I don't know what the laws are etc but it might be a good way to relocate most of them together since I have several, mostly cats, and would gladly work out a reasonable fee for this service while giving you an opportunity to fly from the states and have the costs covered, helping me out greatly since I would need to make several trips with a regular airline. I would of course have all of their paperwork in order. Not sure if this is even possible, but figured I would inquire to the possibility. Anyone??

  Check with your vet to find one that can do the international paperwork. Then take that paperwork to the USDA to get approval $40 the last time I did it. Then both documents to the Panama Embassy or Consulate. $50 the last year. All paperwork must have been completed within 10 days of arrival to Panama. A vet must check your dog at the airport. $165 last year. Note: you can't start on the 10th of the month and arrive on the 20th. Panama counts that as 11 days, so you would have to got 11th to 20th.
  
  I once sent the paper work by FedX and got the final papers 2 hours before I had to leave for the airport. You might check for a vet that can get it all done for you.
  
  Also the airline will charge you up to $200 to take your pet along. Also you may not be able to take your dog on the plane in hot or very cold weather. The dog may sit with luggage on the tarmac or in the hold of the airplane for a long time.

  Dear Bird,
  
  I can only relate my experience. Our dog, Shadow, a 12 pound poodle, has flown a hundred times on airlines- without anyone knowing he is onboard. He has flown 16 times into the USA without having been declared OR noticed! The only time he was cught was going into Panama. The onlty thing between us and the street with its taxicabs was one more xray machine. When my wife took him out of his "stealth" bag, the employees started yelling, "perro! perro!"
  
  Because it was Sunday, they had to call out veterinarians- not one, but TWO. One to do the paper work and one to check him over. We waited two hours for them to come to the airport. Because it was Sunday, "naturally" there were overtime fees of $240 for the two of them.
  
  So, there was no difficulty except the time lost, money spent, and missing the last flight to David. He had current rabies and vaccinations paper with him. But we won't take him in after normal weekday hours anymore.
  
  Incidentally, they missed him at the departure gate security check on the way out as he was sliding across the floor below the folding tables. The Shadow Nose. He is right under their noses. So much for security. As the saying goes, I would rather have a gun in my hand than a cop on the line!
  
  I hope it works out for you. Just have the animals papers ready and go through on normal hours.
  
  Happy traveling,
  
  Doc
  
  P.S. Let me know how it works out. You are welcome to call me in Florida.
