Hi Rosemary,

If you want us to ferry these friends from Lancaster to Kingston, NC we will be happy to do that since we are based right at Lancaster, can't refuse this one, this would give you your 1st leg :D

OK, will remove the rear seat after the PNP flights we have this weekend then so we can get this crowd in :P

Good luck finding the other pilots.

Rosemary, I can take any two for half of the last leg. I have a 120# baggage limit and about a 200 nm leg. If you can get them to Northern VA (Winchester, Warrenton, etc.) I can get them to central NJ. Alternatively, I can get them from KISO to Northern VA.

Hello All,

On Sunday Nov. 25, I could take the entire group from Greenville, SC (GSP) to Leesburg, VA (JYO) or Winchester, VA (OKV). If perhaps Christophe and Laryssa could just get them from Lancaster to Greenville, I could take them up to Northern VA to connect with Mel (plus another pilot if all dogs are to be accomodated.)

Will stay tuned!

Steve,

That could work for us - even closer, happy to take them from LKR to GSP (or GMU - FYI there is a great cafe on the runway, 20% discount for fly-ins).

Steve,

Leesburg would be great if you are comfortable with the Washington SFRA - I'm based there, lots of grass close by.

Rosemary,
If Steve can stop in Kinston to pickup Hercules then I think we are all set as far as Northern Virginia. I can get two pups or Hercules to NJ (max 120 lbs.) but I cant take Hercules and the pups. So as I see it you need a run to RI for those two pups plus another flight for Hercules to NJ.

Rosemary,
From what I can tell, if Steve can stop at Kinston to pick up Hercules, we are all set as far as Northern Virginia. From there I can take either Hercules or Hershey and Juliette, but not all three, to NJ (120# weight limit). As of now, that leaves Hercules to NJ and Noelle and Rudy to RI with nothing from Northern Virginia onwards.

Would also like to know if the dogs will come with crates as I won't have enough for all of these guys.

I will not be able to fly as far east as Kinston; unless a new pilot can volunteer to take the Kinston - Northern VA leg, I'd suggest separating the transfer such that all the dogs except Hercules come with Cristophe and Larysa to Greenville, then fly up to Leesburg with me, to connect there with Mel. This makes sense from the standpoint that Mel cannot take all the dogs north anyway. Hercules would of course then need a separate transport.

Mel--I'm based at JYO too! Hangar A-10.
