I can take the final leg from the northern half of Iowa to any airport in the Minneapolis area. I'm available from Oct 28 til the end of the month.

FIRST OFF - WOWSERS TO BOTH OF YOU! This is totally unexpected, thank you guys!!!!
Sarah,
I have talked with the sending rescue. She is willing to bring the dogs from Ardmore to Oklahoma City. So my anticipation is that they will need to go from OKC to Kansas City, and Kansas City to somewhere in Iowa and Iowa northward to Minneapolis. Do you have a preference as to whether you go north or south? Are you available on the 28th if Dave is, weather pending of course?
Dave,
Thank you so much! Are you available on the 28th where we could tentatively schedule this for Sunday October 28th? WOuld maybe Des Moines, IA area work for you as a meeting point or do you need to be farther north?

Looks like we are just trying to find the other pilot on the Kansas City side now! :)
I will keep you both updated as to what I find out!

Jessica, put me down for the 28th! I fly private jets and have a fixed days-off schedule. All we need is good weather! Waterloo, IA KALO would be preferable, but KDSM would work also. Lets see what kind of response we get. My email is [email protected] and we can exchange phone numbers by email closer to the day.

I will also need to know the size of carrier(s) they're traveling in. I have different sized ones I can bring, but these will go back with me after I drop the pups off.

I also will throw out there, if Saturday works better for a pilot, we always could bring them up to Kansas City that Saturday, and then continue on their journey on Sunday. Just looking for one more pilot! :)

Not to throw a wrench in your plans, but I'm normally not available to fly on weekends with my work schedule. I have a a wedding on the 28th, I could do the 29th, but I work the overnight shift that Saturday, so I'd need to get some sleep Sunday morning prior to flying. No I do not have a preference if I fly North or South out of KC.

Put me down as available for Nov 4th then. My schedule for Nov is not out yet and I'll let you know whether this will work. Meanwhile, the rest of my availability for October is still from the 28th to the end of the month.
