Normally I would try that, but they made us remove all luggage from the plane and then went through the entire plane. I do not think it was food they were looking for but valuables. The aircraft owner had brought a drone that was "taxed". I was too busy running around closing flight plans, paying fees and getting thing stamped in triplicate to negotiate a better price on the tax.

It's not like we were going to eat any of the food onboard. I was just hoping to let the soldiers eat it on the ramp rather than inventoried and thrown away. I had a cooler filled with some Trader Joe goodies in the cockpit that escaped detection, that I was able to hook up the DGAC rep with.

Im going to guess you were in Loreto? The only place like that out of all the places in Mexico we go. It's also the only place I've seen that form used.

Most of it went away today due to my mom's nagging that I should look professional on the first day of ground school, and she offered to pay :rolleyes:

Sounds like my mom. After I came back from Europe, where I hadn't shaved or cut my hair in months (that's how long it took for me to grow a beard back then) she commented 'people were crossing the street to avoid the homeless looking guy'. I was a ski bum at the time where a beard and long hair was appropriate attire.

Yes it was. I have landed in a lot of places in Mexico and never saw that form either.

It was the first time I was handed an officious looking form in Mexico without paying a fee, fine, tax, propina or mordida.

On my most recent trip to Mexico. The inflight meal of sandwiches was confiscated upon landing. The customs woman took the tray and came back with an inventoried list of the sandwiches quantified and weighed with the official stamp of the Mexican Customs. On the plus side this was the only transaction that did not require a fee or bribe.

I didn't know US is a quarantined country for Mexico.
