I am based in Frederick, MD (Airport: KFDK) - and can take all the dogs for a leg of up to ~150nm either from the North (from FDK NE) or the South (up to FDK). I am available Sunday 11/11 -- please let me know.

Hi Matt,

Thanks so much for your response to our request. I am unsure how far 150nm will take you, so can you tell me if you would be able to get as far as Elizabethtown, NC or from FDK to somewhere in NJ?

Thank you!!
Rosemary
p.s. there are also a few cats to go on this transport, but I was unable to get their pictures to load last night.

Southbound would take me down towards FarmVille VA or a little bit further. As for North - can go towards Allentown or Princeton - easier to coordinate with a last leg pilot as to where is a happy middle ground.

Hi Matt,
Any chance you could meet another pilot at KHWY and still bring the animals to NJ? Just checking because a southern pilot I know is based at KXSA and can get to Elizabethtown and as far north as KHWY. Trying very hard to make this work.
Thanks so much!!
Rosemary

I can take a leg on Sunday 11/11/12 to RI (Providence or Quonsett State) or near there. I'm based at KPOU, so a pick-up in NJ/MD is possible. Prefer it to be as early in the day as possible...just also want to be clear: I can transport the dogs, but both the dogs AND the cats, not together on the same mission. 11puppies and the mother will take up all my space in the plane. Is there a transport cage coming with the animals?

[IFDFF1]

I can definitely meet at KHWY (Warrentown) and either bring back to Frederick or meet Dutchessflier someplace in Southern PA or whatever is convenient.

I too would like to do early - so let me know what works.

[IFDFF1]

Apologies - but I am a renter and will need to confirm by tomorrow if this flight is a go (otherwise I have to release the aircraft). Will keep an eye on this through the day.

Have a good night,

[Dutchessflier]

I am prepared to go ahead with the leg to RI. Will be watching this thread for go or nogo decision. Bruce

[IFDFF1]

Bruce - would you be the one meeting me? If so - can we meet at Frederick (KFDK) and I will bring the dogs up? Or is that too far?

Rosemary - where is KXSA? Is that the origin or do we still need a Leg 1 Pilot to get to KXSA and then up to KHWY?

Thanks,
