I have an email out to some other St Louis pilots, hope to have a positive answer by tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

By the way, I am able to do my leg.

2 out the 3 alternate pilots I emailed are unable this Saturday, and the Nashville weather has not imporved, so I think Plan A is a no-go.

If you could get a foster arranged in St. Louis, I could still come get him on Saturday then he would be at least part of the way. Let me know.

So I have another pilot that has contacted me that is waiting for a part for his plane that may be able to do the St Louis to Nashville or into TN flight this weekend. Will keep you posted. Anyone else that may be available to help with the St Louis, MO - TN leg will be appreciated. Need to get Cotton Home this weekend if at all possible. THANK YOU everyone

Hey Mike was curious If I can get my guys here in NC on board, could you fly on Friday? Just asking. Looks like the weather is going to be nasty in Nashville all weekend. I could possibly reach back out to Mark to see if he or another pilot could do Friday. Also I have sent an email to a gentleman in Nashville that may provide ground transporation from St Louis. Waiting to hear back from him also. Still trying.

mark.staggs wrote:Wow, that's a big change in forecast since I looked this morning! :o It was normal summertime chances (20%) at 8:00 am. No, I'm not instrument rated. Looks like it I'm probably unable this weekend unless the forecast drastically improves.

Sorry. :(
Hi Mark,
Could you do Friday Morning? Mike said he could do Friday picking her up at 8AM? Please advise. So I can contact everyone else. Thanks

Mike,
If you pick up Cotton at 8AM in Cameron what time would you be arriving in St Louis. I just trying to see if it is at all possible for the other pilots. I have sent Mark a message. I don't have his phone number so not sure what time he will see it. I guess the times are going to make the difference here. thanks for all you are doing.

Mike,
Mark is a NO GO for Friday. I have a call out to another Pilot named Ray. I will let you know as soon as he calls me back. I also have a call out to my NC Pilots as well. What time would you have her in St Louis?

Will keep you posted. Thanks

Assuming an 8:00 am pick up and quick turn in Cameron, should be back to Spirit of St. Louis Airport (KSUS) by 9:30.
