Multiple pilots are probably needed to fly this boy to his new home. It's 360 nm.

Are you a 501c3: yes (rescue)

Additional Info/situation:

This sweet boy was an owner surrender to the local kill sheter. Previous owner did not even know he was blind, even though she had him for 5 years! Don't ask me how neglectful and unobservant she must have been. He has been rescued and a wonderful furever home was found in IN, near Indianapolis.

Airports near Christiansburg, VA: New River Valley in Dublin (PSK), Roanoke Regional/Woodrum Field (ROA).
Airports near Crawfordsville, IN: Crawfordsville Municipal (CFJ), Boone County in Lebanon (614), Timber House in Lafayette (31IN), Indianapolis International (IND)

If you can help to fly this boy to his furever home, please send your contact info (phone, email), preferred origin and destination airports, and available day(s).

Thanks in advance,
Doris

Doris,
I sent you an email indicating I can help this weekend. I fly out of Indianapolis so I can take the second leg. Let me know if you still need my help.

Dear Pilots,

I have received multiple offers to fly this dog on the second half of his journey to IN from either TN, OH, or KY on several days in the near future. Anyone avaiable to fly the first leg from the Roanoke, VA area?

Thanks.
Doris

I can do the first leg. Looks like Va Tech Airport (BCB) is the closest to Christiansburg, but PSK is okay too. For the hand-off, prefer either Charleston,WV (CHS), Huntington, WV (HTS), or Ashland, OH (DWU). Prefer Friday flight, but Saturday will work out fine too. I'll be coming out of Winchester, VA (OKV), N9372Q (BE33). Cell 973-219-3994. Home 540-668-6862 - Paul Cox
