I got a stupid question.  ok two questions.


why would you fly 700 miles to go help a dog?
wasnt there anybody closer than could help the dog?  I mean seriously 700 miles with no animal lover nearby?

glad you are helping  :salute but I am pretty sure all the money spent could've helped a lot more dogs that are closer.  anyway, not criticizing but trying to understand why there wasnt help nearby.    :aok

Tupac, like many other pilots, obviously has the compassion, time, and money to contribute to this worthy cause because he cares, not to mention it's a great way build flying time.  Tupac, I say go for it buddy!  Well done!

Incorrect.

A driven pilot will use any excuse to fly and go to great lengths to contrive a situation that requires him to fly.

After I picked him up he wouldnt stop yapping so I went up to 12,000' and he got REALLY sleepy. It probably took all the strength he had to muster this dissaproving stare. He also had a couple of towels in the kennel that he squirreled away in the corner.

Shortly after this picture was taken, Rover died of hypoxia.

Just kidding, Tupac. Nice pics!

I've thought about it, but I need 75 more hours PIC before I can be PIC on their flights. I think I would still have fun as SIC (well not really SIC, just another rated pilot in a front seat) but I think I'm going to wait until I can do PIC.

I was the second one to respond to the transport request email, and originally I tried to find someone who would take him to San Antonio, but when the first pilot backed out I said I'd do the whole thing.

Does your plane have auto pilot? You'll also want some decent avionics if you plan on doing angel flights, IMO.
