A 1960 Cessna 182 (Skylane).
We're based in Boulder, CO (1V5).
We,(as
in me - Alan, my wife Sue and the two Dirtbags,) live in the mountains west of
Boulder at 7800'. In addition to flying, the dogs have plenty of
room to run and chase bears, chipmunks, rabbits, deer and anything else that
moves.
Are
we there yet? The dogs jump right in the back seat and occasionally
sit up to look out the window during flights. The same as when they
are in the car. I don't have them restrained - my personal
preference and in all the years of flying with them, we've never had a
problem. They never try to get in the front seat, again, just like
in the car. I also try to avoid taking them into nasty conditions
like turbulence although sometimes that's impossible. But,
they've never "flown" around the cabin or caused
difficulties. In fact, they've never puked in the plane (or in the
car) but occasionally do drool! I always carry a water dish and
water bottles for them, too. And of course, the obligatory dog
treats.
Flight
Destinations
Sometimes for breakfast,
sometimes for long week-ends, sometimes just for fun. Flying gives
us the freedom to explore the
small, sometimes close-to-forgotten towns in Colorado, Wyoming &
Nebraska. Or, zip down to New Mexico for hiking, food and art.
