I am a pilot out of San Diego who normally splits costs with a friend. He is sick today but is expected to recover tomorrow. Let me talk to him tomorrow and see if he is better and also able to get out of work to make this flight.

I can't commit to it right now, so if another pilot was available and able to make this flight that would be great. If nobody else responds before Thursday afternoon I'll talk with my friend about an early Friday departure from San Diego to L.A. FFT Las Vegas.

We may also be able to do it on Thursday with a late (10PM ish) arrival at Las Vegas. Although that as well is dependent on my friend feeling better and able to make the flight.

That would be awesome! the Chi is in Romoland, so I could get to any airport (LAX, PSP, ONT, whatever and i have a friend in Vegas who will keep the dog until my husband leaves Sunday afternoon (he arrives Friday) I could get you a couple of free tickets to the Ides of March show at the Aliante casino Sat! Thanks! Hope he feels better! You Rock! Thanks!

Very cool, I'll talk to my friend tomorrow.

By the way, is the cut-off date Friday the 22nd or Sunday the 24th? If we have until Sunday we can absolutely do the transport (barring weather, but it looks okay right now). If it's on Friday we can probably still do it, I'd just need to work it out with my friend (He loves Vegas, so I don't think he'll mind at all).

Wow - thanks - if you can do it, as long as dog arrives in Vegas Sunday morning (hubby's flight leaves McCarren at 1:40) - there would need to be enough time for him to check the dog in at the terminal - so anytime between Friday and Sunday early would be awesome! Please let me know ASAP as my friend is
driving to Vegas from Phoenix and if you can't do it, I was hoping to see if someone could meet him at the Nevada border and he would drive her - obviously, flying her straight in would be the best solution Thanks so much! If you need to speak to me, my cell is 630-291-7299 - Thanks!

Hey, I called my friend who's still sick today. He expects to be well tomorrow.

Which airport would you like the pickup to be from? We are hoping to depart Saturday morning for a Saturday Afternoon arrival in Vegas.

Ok, I looked it up--looks like Torrance/Zamperini Field is the best bet for us. We could leave San Diego early Saturday and make a pick-up around 11 AM in Torrence. We should arrive in Vegas roughly at 1 PM.


We'd love to see a show if you can swing it. =^) If not, that's fine too.

Would it be possible for you to pick up the dog at the Hemet Airport - apparently it is pretty close to where the foster lives? Otherwise, it will take her 3 hours there and 3 back in LA traffic -
Please let me know!
Thanks!
