Are you a 501c3: Yes
Additional Info/situation: See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjfOL4IdjOQ to see kitten in need of transport.
Am willing to drive to GSP if necessary, am within five miles of KCAO Clemson, SC - (http://www.oconeesc.com/Departments/AJ/Airport.aspx), within 30 minutes of KTOC (Toccoa, GA)& KLQK (Pickens, SC). Chris is close to both Leesburg, VA (KJYO) and Manassas, VA (KMNZ) as well as the bigger DC airports (but according to him unless you're driving a 747 it's going to be a lot easier to land at one of the first two).
If we need to do this in two hops, I have a possible foster in Mebane, NC (4W7) who could receive this baby.
Feel free to email or call me for more info.

Re: Crippled Kitten needs ride Clemson SC to Northern VA
I'm based in the Northern Virginia area, so I'd be happy to help! What day were you looking at doing this transport? If someone would like to meet halfway such as KGSO or KDAN, that would work great too..

Re: Crippled Kitten needs ride Clemson SC to Northern VA
I'm in the same situation as Jonathan - Cessna 150 based in Northern VA (Leesburg). I can't make it all the way to SC, but if you can get her to the Southern VA area (KDAN) I can get her the rest of the way if Jonathan can't make it.

Re: Crippled Kitten needs ride Clemson SC to Northern VA
Jonathan, Mel, thanks for responding. I'm completely open as to the day to do this, but getting them that far north is the problem. Will continue to post in hopes someone is heading that way from our area or south and can pick them up. Thanks!

Re: Crippled Kitten needs ride Clemson SC to Northern VA
The weather models are predicting convective and thunderstorm activity this weekend. I'll keep a close eye on the weather, and if I can fly down to SC, I'll let you know. Right now, according to the weather models, Sunday morning would be the ideal time frame.

Re: Crippled Kitten needs ride Clemson SC to Northern VA
I'm sorry, I'm just having that kind of day - if you read any of my earlier posts just ignore them. Trying to do six things at once.
Ok - would you be ok coming into Clemson or would you need me to meet you at another airport?
And which airport to you fly into in NVA so I can let Chris know?
As far as storms go, yes, please do be careful. They just seem to pop up without a moment's notice here. I have a very flexible schedule so I can just drop things and bring him along if necessary. Thanks again for the offer!

Re: Crippled Kitten needs ride Clemson SC to Northern VA
Most likely GSP would work best, but I need to take another look at the aeronautical chart and see where the other airports are. I've flown into Anderson before, so that might be possible. Would be landing at KHEF (Manassas).
I took a look at the weather models, and it looks like Monday afternoon/evening might be better.. If anything changes, I'll give you a call and let you know. I'll be monitoring the weather closely.

Re: Crippled Kitten needs ride Clemson SC to Northern VA
KCAO (Clemson) is the closest to me, I posted a link in the original post about them, Anderson is fine, GSP is fine too, I don't have a problem driving to Greenville if that is what it takes to get this baby up to VA. Feel free to text or call me at 864-906-1443 with more info as time comes closer. It has rained almost constantly here the entire summer, I'm so sick of rain it's not even funny!
Thanks again and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Re: Crippled Kitten needs ride Clemson SC to Northern VA
I can get the kitten from charleston to northern Virginia on Sunday. Is it possible for somebody to get the kitten from Clemson to charleston today or tomorrow?
Thank You!
Thank You!

Re: Crippled Kitten needs ride Clemson SC to Northern VA
If you could do GSP, that would bring the flight time down to 10 hours. I'm going to try tomorrow (Sunday), unless the weather has plans of its own. It'll take me about 4.5 hours to get down to GSP, so let's try 11AM? That would get me into HEF (Manassas) around 3PM. I have your number, so if any last minute changes occur, I will notify you.
