Sounds good, Judy. Let us know what day the animals will be ready to head out and approximately how much each crate will weigh. Sam - I need a good VFR day from 3MY to KUES & back. I don't mind day or night. Rob 309-635-8565 mobile or [email protected]. This will be my first transport.

A newbie! I love it. I so enjoy getting new people involved in animal rescue--whether pilots, rescuers, volunteer ground transporters . . . Let me ask Chasity and Mary what day works best for them and about the weight of the crates, and I'll let you know ASAP.

I have half a dozen pets... I love animals but I am a new pilot and new to PnP. Waukesha doesn't look great this week with snow and clouds (you had mentioned next weekend anyway) but hopefully it will clear by next week. I'm excited to help :)

And we're excited to have you help. These are all breeder releases as you may have guessed by the breeds and ages. We're kind of at the mercy of the breeder as to when she will agree to let them go. Of course, I'm sure Chas will foster them herself, if need be, until good weather conditions and schedules can be worked out. :D

I need to know what size crates you guys have room for. What dimensions?

I'm flying Tuesday so I'll measure and let you know. It's a Piper Archer II so I have a little bit of room with back seats and a cargo area.

Great. Still waiting to hear from the breeder and find out about crate sizes. Might use 2 or 3 depending on room.

I have plenty of room in that I've removed the rear seat of my plane. I'm wondering if we could straighten out this route a little. I hit "Map this request" and Peoria is quite a bit off the route. Rob, could we meet in Muscatine, Iowa at Muscatine Municipal Airport (KMUT)? That would take 28 miles off the route through Peoria, 44 miles off my leg and add 16 to yours.

Chris might be a better fit for this route if you meet in Muscatine. You two are directly on the path. I mapped it and that adds 93 miles round trip to my route. Maybe Chris will chime back in and meet you half way! I had planned to make anorher stop and this complicates it a bit. Rob

Hey Rob, I misread one of the posts--I thought you were based in Waukesha. I see on your profile you're based in Peoria. I will meet you in Peoria--don't want to spoil your maiden flight!! Are you available to fly during the week as I am?
