Sue, et al --

I mapped the route and sent off a few notes. We ourselves can only take 5 or 6 at a time and can only go as far as Pineville or Perry or so, although we could do that for a few days in a row if there's enough plane to take them on and if overnight care is available in the neighborhood (or if other pilots want to make additional runs :-) Let's see what unfolds.


Happy New Year

Hello;

I would be able to help with a leg from perry or prefer Lake city to Ocala. I can only hold 1 larger crate (C-150) with up to 100 pounds. But on a single day I could make 2 or possibly 3 trips (3 might be pushing it). The catch though is that I am not available until Friday 1/8 but then not until 1/17. All of this depends upon the weather of course. Let me know...

Lake City is over 200nm for us, or a bit outside our comfort zone. We could do Douglas or maybe Homerville, though.

That's even more than we can carry (50 lbs is our top end at least for a while), so you'd be safe there. And if we got going early enough we might make two trips, although not three. But this could come together!

Let's see if anyone else responds and then we'll coordinate schedules. If I'm not flying these

danged puppies out on Saturday (and it looks like I may not be), then we could probably swing it.


HTH & Happy New Year
