Jon, you're the man. That hits a real soft spot in my heart.

Jon: Thank you very much from us K9 lovers. Does your group have any poster type information sheets? I'm of the opinion this could catch on by other private pilots throughout the country. I know private pilots are looking for any excuse to crank up and go somewhere. I'm thinking of a resturant named Wings that we frequent at the GA Airport in Auburn CA. A poster on their wall would be viewed by many pilots. I'm sure other locations would work as well. If your group can get them printed I will cover the cost and help with the distribution. Poggers everywhere could help with the personal distribution.

Jon,
I trust that the dogs are sedated to some degree....and have empty stomachs, bladders and bowels? I would be happy to help out, but only in the cooler months!
I often pull the rear five seats in my airplane and have a rear loading door that will eat just about anything. My a/c is not pressurized and the heat of the Desert Southwest requires me to climb like a home sick angel to at least 12,000 feet for cooler air and less thermal activity.....even then if I have a group of "non-flyers", people that is, there is usually one that needs the sick sac, which often translates to two, three or four as the sounds and aroma make their way around the cabin! Now that's people, people who have a modicum of control over their physical being, dogs do not have that luxury!
I cheat, I carry a small jar of Vicks Vapor Rub and put a small dabble on my upper lip, which keeps me from joining in on the solo, duet or whatever! Not too smart if I am having to suck on the hose but a godsend nevertheless!
I also couldn't help but notice a couple of things on your video......the most obvious being a need for a quart or two of Artic White Imron to be appropriately sprayed onto your nose cowl ...............after normal prepartions that is. And what's up with the reporter standing next to a turbo-prop blade Finally, did you have a clearance to pop up into those clouds and disappear or was that one of those ATR Climbs to VHF on top
Happy to help out.......

[QUOTE=flyu2there;30829]Jon,

Hey John, nope, no sedation for any of the dogs flown so far! Only a couple have had a little initial dry heave activity but most of the dogs have been fine. I will let Jon tell you about the pups with diarrhea in a pressurized cabin, I think he could have used your Vicks!
All the dogs are confined to various size crates with the exception of a very large breed like a Newfoundland...for them we have very nice harnesses and tether them to the back seat through the seatbelt lines. So far, they normally lie down on the seat of the floor and go to sleep. A little cotton in their ears to cut the noise but other then that, they are just on restricted food before flights.
Did I hear you correctly are you volunteering?

Jon,
My plane is pressurized and has AC so my passengers are comfortable, as they should be.
Eat your heart out.
Debi,
Yes, consider me a volunteer....but not in the Summer. I have enough issues with human beeins in the heat, dogs won't make the team in 115 degree weather, but you knew that.
Jon, so you are pressurizzed and have air con.....whats up with the paint...I guess that's a Liberty Thing
PS, I am still way faster than you......................
John
I told the guy not to video the crappy paint, so of course they feature it.
My plane is a tool. But it has AC.
I can't get the link to work for the video!
Way to go Jon. You have a BIG heart!!! We rescued a Smooth Coat Fox Terrier last June and added him to our collection: the two schnauzers.
