I hope to fly a Bahamas trip in the near future, and this looks to be a great opportunity to get any and all questions answered. If anyone in the Tampa area wants to go, please let me know and we can fly loose formation on the way down.

More info here.

Might I add, Banyan has agreed to lift its $15 ramp fee for those aircraft that are flying Pilots 'n Paws missions. It's been entered in their computer system, so make sure you mention PnP if you're on a dog run.
