Hi Liz,

Do you have this leg covered or do you still need help ?

Wasn't sure from the thread.

We're based in Pittsburgh - Zelienople (KPJC), and can help out, schedule permitting.

Thanks,

Keith

Keith,
I'm so sorry, I did not get your message. Unfortunately for some reason, I am not being notified of responses here.

Sadly we were grounded yesterday :( so it is undetermined if we are able to bring Hunter in. While Bruce (POU) was VERY kind to offer to go all the way out to (now) LBE and ALL the way to me (PYM) to go all the way home to POU...

It's far to much to ask of him.

If you could email me at [email protected] I would love to be able to work something out to lighten his load!

Thank you so very much! Again, I apologize for not seeing your reply here.

Liz

Good morning. I am going to post here what we have been emailing outside of PnP. The mission was cancelled yesterday (Saturday) and today (Sunday 10/6) due to weather in NY and PA. So it goes...

I have offered to run the mission on Friday, 10/11 and communicated that to the parties involved with flying the cancelled mission this weekend. I offered to fly the entire mission if necessary, and will also work with Andris, the second leg pilot, to see if he can take the mission on Friday as well. If not, then I, and my copilot, will fly it.

To Liz: if I post that I can run an entire mission, then that's my intent to do so and as PIC as long as the mission fits my timing and capability, I will do so, so no worries. We've flown missions much much longer than this one!

That's the status right now. More as we get closer to next Friday.

Hey Keith,

I'm based up in TAN, which is right next to PYM where Hunter needs to go. Do you have any availability over the next couple of days, I could meet you halfway? Thanks. Mike

Good Morning

Weds 10/9/13

Keeping an eye out on the weather this Thursday into Friday along the East Coast. I emailed the participants in this mission regarding the possibility of weather impacting the ability to fly the rescue on Friday, 10/11/13. Will make the go no-go decision by Thursday afternoon and post it here and via emails.

As such, I would love to know if anyone is available this Saturday 10/12 or Sunday 10/13..

Neither Bruce nor Andris are available this weekend, and I would like to try to get Hunter home

Thank you all so very much for your consideration and thank you all for following this transport.. I truly am grateful for you all being out there for me and for my hounds in need.

PS~
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I am not getting notices of posts here.. please email me at [email protected] if you are available to help on Saturday or Sunday 10/12, 10/13

A wonderful good evening all..
well.. we're still on the ground as I type this and I'm not going to lie as I'm a bit bummed about it; nothing we can do.. weather is being entirely uncooperative of late. Therefore..

I am putting out the last minute Hail Mary pass here for 2 pilots on Saturday, 10/12 as I am 0 for 3 on getting this boy home to me.

I apologize in advance for crappin up your inboxes once again :)

Thank you all so much again for your patience and for your consideration in helping me get Hunter tomorrow
