Transporting a dog by ground and air

Once in a while I help out with a transport.
This is where we move a dog from one place of the country to another.  Sometimes it involves 3 people, sometimes 20.  This time it took a bunch of people and A PLANE.
 Pointer Rescue had tried to move Waldo twice before, only for such a long transport not to fill. This time a wonderful gentlemen stepped in and offered to fly him from Indiana to Maryland for us.
I was on the Maryland side to pick up Waldo.

When I asked the Pilot "Where you coming to Hagerstown anyway"?  He said "No, I just wanted to save people a bunch of driving".  He was turning around and going back home.
If I didn't already have a foster coming to my house, Waldo would have stayed with me.  He was such a gentlemen.

Thank you to everyone that helped plan, beg, drive, put up and fly Waldo to us.

Roger has been wanting a plane.

Okay, Maybe I've found a reason why. Not sure how long it would take me to get in a plane like that ... with him flying!?!

That pilot doesn't look too bad - is he single? Can he fly down to Seattle for the weekend?

Is his wife invited?
