According to the Baja Bush Pilots, Mexico AFAC has now disavowed the authorization permits "facilitated" by a third party and any
Multi-entry permits secured by said authorizations.
A few months ago, I spoke to the "facilitator" myself, both from a personal and journalistic perspective and he readily admitted that the bulk of the $1700 fee charged was used as "tips" (bribes) to facilitate the paperwork.
As much as I enjoy flying in Mexico, especially in service for the Flying Samaritans organization which does tremendous charity work there, the process never felt right to me.
It's a shame. No, it's a **** shame. It makes no sense for Mexico to not simply agree to cross border agreements for experimentals as most other countries have as the money generated from cross border travel heavily favors the South.
I hope this gets resolved properly soon.
