First Pilots N Paws Rescue Flight!

 

pnp-round-logoLori and I have been talking for the last couple of years about getting involved with Pilots N Paws.  Pilots N Paws is an organization that helps coordinate the transfers of animals to & from shelters or new homes.  We signed up on the boards and were quickly contacted about a need to transfer a dog and her 11 puppies up to Rhode Island from North Carolina.  We coordinated the transfers and the first leg of the flight was flown by Mark and his wife up from Lumberton, NC up to our home airport – Richmond Executive Airport (KFCI).  Lori, Hannah and I loaded up the plane with “Lady” and her 11 puppies while Bryan went to his friend’s birthday party.  Lady was very well behaved and a sweet girl.  It was obvious that she knew we were helping her.  We flew up to Trenton-Robbinsville Airport (N87) and met Mike and Eric who would fly the last leg of the trip up to Rhode Island.  It was cold, windy & bumpy around Trenton but we made the quick turn and headed back to Richmond where the weather was gorgeous.  It was really a rewarding day and a fun way for us to utilize the airplane for something good.  We will definitely do more rescue flights and look forward to the next ones.  Pilots N Paws is a very active organization and there seems to be a very high demand for the flights.  Here are the pictures of our rescue flight.

Wonderful pics. Thanks for sharing both your time and your heart to help such a sweet dog and her family.

Just saw your offer on Pilot N Paws. Live in Williamsburg and have a possible rescue Corgi near Pittsburg. Would that be something you are interested in flying? Could meet in Richmond or of course, Williamsburg.

Hi Elsie – definitely a possibility. We aren’t available for the next week but after that I’m sure it can be worked out. The request has to actually go through the Pilots N Paws website. Are you already listed on this?
