Hi Leslie,

I might be able to assist on the 1st leg from NC. Waiting to see other pilots volunteering for the other leg(s) to arrange the logistics.

Chris,
I may be able to link up with you and fly the second leg to Lancaster, NY. How far north could bring the dog? It would obviously be dependent on the weather. I am IFR, but I have no ice protection, and the area around Buffalo often has low hanging lake effect clouds with icing in the winter.

Hi Mahesh,

I am actually based in the Charlotte area so will have to fly to Sanford 1st.

i could go to Lynchburg or push to Charlottesville (depending on your aircraft and how far you can go south). Otherwise, we could perhaps make it a 3-leg trip.

Do you want to bring the dog from Charlottesville to Penn Yan? I can meet you there and bring her to Buffalo.

Thank you so very much for all of your help!

Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of any assistance!

I know everything is subject to favorable weather, especially this time of year.

Take care,

Where you thinking of me doing the run from CHO to kpeo where i am based? If weather is good i can do that i think. I would prefer W24 falwell as fuel looks to be $1 less

Yes, Chris would bring the dog to CHO, you would pick up the dog from CHO. I can meet you at W24 and fly the dog to Buffalo. Leslie, I am based in Niagara Falls airport IAG, which is very close to Buffalo. I assume that the receiving rescue could meet me at Niagara Falls airport?

Hi everyone,

I am fine doing KTTA - W24. I also like cheaper gas so we could also consider KBCB (Blacksburg, VA).

Then mjm351 to do the W24 or KBCB-KPEO leg and Mahesh the last leg KPEO to Buffalo. Correct?

2/2 works great for me (WX permitting) as I have another PNP flight scheduled on 2/3.
