When were you looking to transport? Seems like an easy jump from San Diego to Pheonix.

I plan to fly from McClellan Palomar Airport (kCRQ) to Chandler Airport (KCHD) on Monday or Tuesday (Jan 14 or 15). .

If I can help I would be glad to provide transport. I do not have a crate but can make room on my aircraft for one.

Thanks,

John

Wow, these are fantastic offers in such short time. I will need to get in to the vet on Monday for the health certificate. Knowing that many times Monday's are booked up at the vet after the weekends, I'm not sure how quick I can get him in. KCRQ is 45 min drive north, so that would have to be calculated into the schedule too. I would say either Monday afternoon or Tuesday would be safe bets on how soon I could get him ready and delivered on time. I would be so grateful for your this opportunity to send this little guy to the surgeon and long term foster home.

Yes, I can provide the crate.

Sounds like Motoair was already heading in that direction. If anything falls through feel free to PM/phone me as a back-up plan.

I am a VFR (fair weather) pilot, so if Motoair can't fly due to weather, I'll be stuck on the ground as well.
