Pnp flight
Hi all,
We flew our first Pilots N Paws (PnP) flight this weekend. We went from KFLY down to Sundance airport (KHSD) on the outskirts of Oklahoma City to pick up some kitties. The momma and kittens had been living in an oil field, which is scheduled to get sprayed with poison to get rid of weeds. So a local rescue operation managed to catch the momma and two of the kittens.
We flew down to Sundance (quite a nice airport by the way!), ate a quick lunch, picked up the cats, and flew back. We were going to deliver them directly to the rescue operation in Denver at KBJC. However, the weather did not cooperate, so we landed back at KFLY, and drove the kitties halfway up to Denver, meeting one of the volunteers halfway.
Here is a photo of the momma and the kittens asleep in the back just after we landed.
And here is a photo of the kittens just after they woke up.
The rescue organization really had their act together. They gave me a complete list with contact information, and the leader followed us on Flight Aware, to give updates to the people on both end on the ground. All in all we logged about 6 hours, for a very worthwhile and fun day.
Now all I have to do is find a softsided crate I can get into the back that will fit. The one I was using was about an inch too wide, so I had to half collapse it to get it into the baggage area.
cheers
Geoff
