Last Friday, "Hound Handler" Kim and I flew Mission 12 from Charleston, SC to Winston-Salem, NC. We were headed there for the air show so it worked out well. Our passenger was Holly.

After a delay in Hilton Head due to maintenance, Kim and I lifted off for Charleston. Holly was there waiting for us at Odyssey Aviation. We fueled and loaded up and headed off for Winston-Salem, NC. The flight was a little over two hours in duration but Holly was a trooper. Air Traffic Control even commented on our transport since I put "Carolina Basset Hound Rescue Transport" in the comments section of our flight plan. The controller at Charlotte even said she has been to the CBHR website!

Upon landing, we transferred Holly to her new adoptive dad and we went along our business preparing for the air show AND for Mission 13.

Mission 13 took place yesterday and Henry was our passenger. He was being adopted by a couple in Mount Pleasant, SC and was catching a ride with us. We also had an unexpected passenger as Holly's home trial didn't work out and she was headed back to Charleston to hook up with her foster mom again.

This flight has a little more drama than most since Holly didn't want to share the back seat with Henry. Hound Handler Kim did a remarkable job keeping them calm and separated, though Henry spent a portion of the flight trying to climb over seats at 8,000 feet up! :-)

Once on the ground at Charleston, Holly and Henry went their separate ways. Two more successful missions for HD1 and her flight crew!

Enjoy the photos!
