I am able to make the entire flight or just the southern segment on Friday, July 19. I can be in BLF at about 5:00 p.m., and it is about 2:15 from BLF to the Buffalo/Olean area. If there is another pilot in NY who would like to complete the northern portion, we can switch in MGW (my home base) or some other airport.
As always, flight is subject to weather being suitable.

Dan, that would be great. And, assuming that WX is OK for my trip to BLF, we can keep the pups for a day or two if the weather does not permit your flight to Morgantown on Friday evening. We have plenty of facilities here.

If you guys are doing this run, do you think it would be possible to join up and grab a dog from georgia coming to pittsburgh...we have planes that can handle the northern legs for you all, if you could handle the southern legs for us...let me know...and thanks a ton

Bigairh20,
The logistics of this might be tricky. I'm planning to fly to KPIT to pick up a passenger and lots of bags. Then I fly from KPIT to KBLF to drop off the passenger and bags and pick up the three dogs, thence to KMGW, where Dan will take over for the leg to KBQR. It would be difficult for me to load the passenger, bags and a dog at KPIT. weather is also likely to be a factor on Friday afternoon.
I would suggest trying to find someone else to handle this, but if you are unsuccessful, willing to give it a try.
