If you can get the dogs up into the CT area, like KOXC (Waterbury Oxford) I can fly the last leg to Maine.

I am driving to Farmington, ME on Wednesday to my cabin, which I drive right by the Franklin County Animal Shelter.

If the dogs can be brought to CT on Tuesday (6/4) in the afternoon, then they can hitch a ride with me Wednesday (6/5) morning.

Renee - I appreciate the offer, but I doubt that it can be done during the week. I work, and my health certificate appointment is for Friday. Thanks.

Thanks, Charlie -

I'm working on it. SO far, I haven't heard back from anyone.

This Saturday or Sunday I can fly them-not far, but I can at least get the trip started. Both days would be in the morning. (6/8 or 6/9)

Depending on weather, I have a pilot up NOrth who can do the CT to ME flight (Charlie, Dan Schrager said he could help, as well), and another CT pilot (Charlie LeJambre) who can do the middle leg. Pat, how far North can you fly? Charlie L. can meet you in VA if you can do that. I'm also looking at Sunday, instead of Saturday.....I know I'm pushing it, but here's what I'm looking at for these dogs. (I have a total of 7 that need to get to Maine, but knowing the size of Pat's plane, only 2 can go this weekend).

This weekend, Sunday, 6/9 - Pat, Charlie LeJ and Charlie M (Loxley and Suzie Q, the 2 adopted ones)

Next weekend, either day, Craig Wylie and Dan Sch. (husky boys and 3 puppies). IF Charlie M would rather fly next weekend, I can see if Dan S. can help out this weekend.

Thanks, guys ---

YOur thoughts?

Ok. I'm thinking we are going to end up srubbing the entire thing for this weekend (especially with Tropical Storm Andrea headed up your way this weekend). I'll start working on it for next weekend.
