We are hoping to successfully plan a multi-leg trip with stops in (or near) Lancaster, SC, Kinston, NC, central NJ, and Providence, RI. I realize this is a tall order, but I have faith in the hero pilots from PnP that we can make this happen. WE ARE HOPING FOR THIS TO TAKE PLACE ON THE WEEKEND OF 11/24 OR 11/25.

Hi Rosemary,

If you want us to ferry these friends from Lancaster to Kingston, NC we will be happy to do that since we are based right at Lancaster, can't refuse this one, this would give you your 1st leg

[rpetriello]

Yes!!! Thank you so much, Christophe & Larysa!!!! You are confirmed for the first leg of the trip. I appreciate your offer VERY much!!! Will keep you posted on the plans as they come together.

OK, will remove the rear seat after the PNP flights we have this weekend then so we can get this crowd in

Good luck finding the other pilots.

Rosemary, I can take any two for half of the last leg. I have a 120# baggage limit and about a 200 nm leg. If you can get them to Northern VA (Winchester, Warrenton, etc.) I can get them to central NJ. Alternatively, I can get them from KISO to Northern VA.

Hello All,

On Sunday Nov. 25, I could take the entire group from Greenville, SC (GSP) to Leesburg, VA (JYO) or Winchester, VA (OKV). If perhaps Christophe and Laryssa could just get them from Lancaster to Greenville, I could take them up to Northern VA to connect with Mel (plus another pilot if all dogs are to be accomodated.)

Will stay tuned!

Steve,

That could work for us - even closer, happy to take them from LKR to GSP (or GMU - FYI there is a great cafe on the runway, 20% discount for fly-ins).

[rpetriello]

I apologize for the bit of information I left out - Hercules is in Kinston, NC so that is a stop that will be necessary.

[MelEtheridge]

Steve,

Leesburg would be great if you are comfortable with the Washington SFRA - I'm based there, lots of grass close by.

Can you folks all let me know where we stand with this transport? There needs to be a stop in SC AND in NC, then also in NJ and RI. Three dogs need to get to NJ and two puppies need to get to RI. It sounds like Christophe & Larysa have the first lefg covered from Lancaster, SC to Kinston, NC. From there, the dogs can be split up, if necessary, but the need is stated above. Please let me know asap as this is a short week coming up and I am still hoping we can pull this off.

Thanks so much and Happy Thanksgiving to all!!
Rosemary
