Sweet Calliope needs to get to Asheville, preferably before Saturday, to meet her transport heading towards Indiana, where she will be fostered. She's a bit of a shy girl, but very sweet and ready to get settled! We've been having trouble with this transport the last couple of weekends, so we're very much hoping to get her moving this week. Thanks so much for all you do!!

I may be able to transport the dog from Kinston to Asheville the middle of this week. I will know my availability later this afternoon, but I hope to be able to make the flight Tuesday (1st), Wednesday (2nd), or Thursday (3rd). Will any of these days work for you?

We will do our best to make this work, Ken - thanks so much!! What time of day would you want to leave, and would you be departing from Kinston or Asheville?

Hi Joan - I am based in Raleigh (RDU), so I would need to fly first to Kinston (ISO). I would hope to be at ISO at 09:45am and could depart there at 10:30am with the dog. That would put me into Asheville (AVL) by 1:00pm. These times would hold true for any of the three days I mentioned (Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday), but I am flexible to leave a little earlier or later as necessary. I should be able to let you know which day this week when my work schedule gels later today. I look forward to working with you to make this transport happen.

Regards,
Ken Menzie

All righty - I need to talk with the foster, who is a school teacher, so it will be later today before I have any info either. Stay tuned! :)

Joan,
I now have a work commitment for tomorrow (Tuesday). But, I should still be free either to fly the trip Wednesday or Thursday. I can fly later in the afternoon if that meshes better with everyone's schedules.

How's this, Ken - we could have Calliope at the Kinston airport at 11:00 on Thursday. Does that work all right for you? If so, I need very specific directions about where the "taxi driver" should go to deliver Calli to you. Thank you so much!!!

Joan

Pilots, FYI - Ken may not be available on Thursday after all, so if anyone else is available, we're open to all offers. Crossing our paws that Ken will be able to fly her, but trying to also cover my bases. :)

Joan... I fly with Ken -- he called me earlier this afternoon about this mission. There is a good possibility we could fly the mission on Saturday if Ken's work does not permit him to fly the mission before Saturday. Let's see how Ken's schedule works out. If needed we can link up on Friday.

Joan,
The business trip I had today (Wednesday) just cancelled. So, I am free to fly the puppy any time today. I know this is last minute, but we can make it happen! Please let me know and I will coordinate the pickup / drop-off arrangements.
