The Boxer signal went up on Thursday, a little white Boxie, Clover, needed a ride from Des Moines up to rescue here in Minne. Clover was dealing with a serious case of the mange, and was in some danger of bleeding out due the state of her skin.
The weather Saturday was pretty crummy, but as usually happens, Sunday was a nice one, cool and clear with winds out of the north. I launched early so I could get back to finish the deck and go rollerblading with the wife. The early start gave me a nice view of the Mississip heading into downtown Minne.
The good guys and gals at Minne Approach cleared me right on up to 7500 into the bravo where the air is cool and the economy rocks! The Prius of airborne dog haulers!
Iowa seems to farm more wind than corn these days - they are sprouting up everywhere....
That is Ames, home of my alma mater Iowa State, and Des Moines off in the distance - really a nice day to fly.
On the ground I met Jamie and her husband who took Clover in overnight while the weather cleared - she was in pretty rough shape. That's a really nice white Boxer under all that - just sweet as can be. I got all bloody lifting her in, but stuff can be washed....
As usual for my K9 passengers, she settled in, took a snooze, and left the flying to me.
DM Approach, Minne Center, and Minne Approach provided expert guidance all day long until I was greeted by Nick in the Tower at KANE who offered up land long 27 and roll to the hangar.
Clover is a sweetie and she is in good hands now....
