My 2 cents: (1) Isla Cedros is part of Ensenada, Baja California <http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_Cedros>http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isla_Cedros
Correct. Baja is Pacific time, Baja Sur is mountain time.
(2) The aeroport seems to be on UTC-7 <http://worldaerodata.com/wad.cgi?id=MX00386&sch=MM10>http://worldaerodata.com/wad.cgi?id=MX00386&sch=MM10
I believe there is a good chance that record is incorrect. If so it probably has its roots in the original CIA error. http://www.gcmap.com/airport/CDI shows it to be Pacific Time, UTC-8 (DST-7). I've sent an email to the two airlines that report offering charter service to the Island, seeking clarification. The airport itself appears to be just an unmanned paved airstrip, so I don't know who else to contact for confirmation. Regards, Steve Jones []
