Members are not guaranteed they can get on an LMV trip to Mexico. Flight teams are put together by monthly Trip Coordinators, who are responsible for selecting team members. A complete planning and packing checklist can be found by clicking here on LMV Trip Tip Brochure . Trips are typically flown in single and twin engine light planes that seat from 4-6 people. A typical team has 3-6 members on board and includes a pilot, medical professional, and an interpreter.
Medical professionals are often MD's, dentists, optometrists, and others.
Other team members might include additional medical professionals, medical assistants, a co-pilot, and general volunteers. Most current trips are going to the northern half of Baja California. Most work here is done with the Tarahumara Indians. LMV flew many trips through 1994 to the State of Sonora. Destinations included San Pedro de la Cueva, Arrivechi, Huasabas, Granados, Bachadehuachi, Tarachi, and Tepache.
