RV-10 pilot and wife fly Pilots'n Paws flight!

RV-10 pilot Dick Sipp (rsipp in these forums) and his wife Vicki got some good publicity for Pilots'n Paws, RV's, EAA and General Aviation when they recently carried a lot of pups on a rescue flight. Look at how big that "pup" is in photograph 2! According to the article, Dick is a former B-52 pilot. (Yes, the journalist said the RV-10 is a "two-seat" airplane, but hey! at least the newspaper gave us some good publicity.) We'll take it.

Good job, Dick, and thanks for your service to our country!

Way to go Frogman!

Thanks very much Don and Bob for taking time to post the link. It was quite a group of "puppies" they had'nt missed any meals.

On the trip up and back we went right over Seymour Johnson AFB, NC where I was stationed in the 60's. When I mentioned that to the 20 something girl working approach control, I got a sorta "So" response. Actually they were very cordial. We got 2 hours of IFR in and out of clouds, rain, and turbulence flying along the trough over the coast. The dog handlier/paper work person (wife Vicki) was less than happy, but a real trooper when it comes to the pups.

It was rewarding to help get a new relationship between a shelter and RV pilots going, the instigator was actually Wayne Owens an RV-9 pilot from Eagle Neck airpark where we used to live.

Oh, the handle is "Frogman" not Froggy. Some of us are sensitive.
