The weather was less than stellar for this mission in Hilton Head and Charleston. My buddy, Barry, was interested in some flight time so he was at the controls for the legs to Charleston and New Bern. I acted as Hound Handler this trip but did get to fly the leg back from New Bern to Hilton Head.
The leg from Hilton Head to Charleston was a short one, lasting only 36 minutes, but was highlighted with low clouds and an instrument approach into Charleston. We broke out of the clouds 800 feet above the ground.
Once in Charleston, we were met by The Brooks' and Master's. We also had a welcoming committee of hounds! Besides Denver, Cotton and Gaylord were there, as well as a Dachshund (sorry....didn't get the name!) The Brooks' fostered Denver. THANK YOU, LYDIA AND BRIAN!
The leg to New Bern was slightly under 2 hours and the weather was much better up there with only scattered clouds around the airport. Denver is such a sweet boy and was a great passenger. As you can see by the pictures below, he enjoyed his flight in first class!
Once in New Bern, we were greeted by John Dowling and family. They fell in love instantly!! How could you not?? :-) John and I went over Denver's paperwork and off they went. Barry and I grabbed a crew vehicle and went for a quick bite of lunch before returning home. I flew that leg which lasted two and a half hours and ended with an instrument approach back into Hilton Head.
