Thank you!

I could possibly make this flight wednesday morning but it would have to be early. I have to be in Asheville NC at 10:00 am, and I live in Charleston SC. It's about an hour in the plane I would be using that day to Fayetville, then two hours to Atlanta, then an hour to Asheville. I would have to pick up the dogs in Fayetville no later than 7:00 a.m. Let me know if this is even a possibility before I begin figuring if I can do it on my end. I would prefer to drop the dogs off at KLZU Gwinnett County airport about 30 miles to the Northeast of Atlanta to avoid me having to enter their airspace and land at a very congested airport.

We could fly them this weekend if the other pilot can't make it work on Wednesday. Call me direct 704-281-2289

Hi. Keith Decker here. I would like to take the "kids" their whole route to get them where they need to be. I'm based in Rock Hill, SC and would fly to Fayettville to pick them up and take them to Atlanta. I'd like to do this on Wed. 8-21, in the morning due to thunderstorms likely in the afternoon. I hope I can help you! Best, Keith.

WOW. You guys are awesome. Thank you so much for offering to help these two! Unfortunately Wednesday is not an option (I apologize for not being more specific in the original post). Diesel is scheduled for his neuter that morning. Would Thursday be possible for any of you? I know the weather's not the best this week

Hi Jen. Diesel and his upcoming surgery does present a problem. Usually the Vet's want a few days before a male is released for travel after neutering. If he has to go the day after, then he should travel in a crate from the time he leaves the vet until he gets to destination in Atlanta. Given his weight, he will need a large crate. That may present a problem getting a large crate in a small airplane. I'll give you a call so we can discuss options and we'll make this happen! Best, Keith

Weather permitting I could help (weekends only) and have crates. I'm based in Atlanta and might be able to swing the entire route but would love to split it with someone. If you can move them with one flight and sooner ... take that option.

What's the status of this mission/request?

Thanks so much to everyone for offering to help these two. Keith Decker plans to fly them from Fayetteville at 10:30am all the way to Atlanta. Hope the weather agrees with the plan!
