Charleston Air Expo - CANCELLED

The Charleston Air Expo scheduled on April 17, 2010 in Charleston, SC was officially cancelled today by the air base. Hound Dog One and her crew were looking forward to this event as we were scheduled to be a static display and have a CBHR exhibit set up next to the aircraft. Our thanks to those of you that have stepped up and volunteered your time to help us at this event. We hope to be invited back in the future.

Hound Dog One Events Update

I'm excited to announce that I just submitted the application for Hound Dog One to be a static display (with a CBHR exhibit) in the Charleston Air Expo on Saturday, April 17, 2010 at Charleston International Airport in Charleston, SC. The main show is on Saturday, however, there will be a military family appreciation day show on Friday the 16th. We'll need some volunteers to assist Kim and I both days so if you are available to help, let us know.

In addition, HD1 and her crew are looking forward to the MCAS Cherry Point Air Show in May. We'll need volunteers to assist us at that show as well since that one is a three day event. What an opportunity for us to reach out to potential adopters at these two shows. Both shows average approximately 150,000 people each. Better yet, it does not cost CBHR a dime!

Mission 17 - Denver Transport

Hound Dog One was back in action yesterday (1/23/10), transporting a handsome guy named Denver from Charleston, SC to New Bern, NC. Denver is one lucky hound too! He was the first Basset to be transported by Hound Dog One in 2010.

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.

Enjoy the photos and trip tracking below and thanks for supporting Hound Dog One!

Hound Dog One Update

Good Evening, Everyone!

We hope that each and every one of you had a safe and enjoyable Thanksgiving with your friends, family, and loved ones. We also have to apologize for not updating this blog in a while. November and December have been/are very busy months for HD1's flight crew with changing work schedules and personal business. That being said, here is a recap of what Hound Dog One has done in 2009 to date.

- Raised $4,607.01 for CBHR with the Fly-A-Thon. Unfortunately, four of the five cities were not visited during the fly-a-thon weekend due to inclement weather. We did, however, visit Charleston, SC where we raised over $200 during that visit. I would like to thank all of the HD1 supporters and CBHR volunteers for making the trip out to the airport that evening. We are still trying to re-schedule the four missed stops but this may not take place until 2010 due to our schedule as well as the Holidays.

- Flew 16 aerial missions with CBHR hounds onboard.

- Drove 3 CBHR missions.

- Flew 1 Pilots N Paws mission.

- Drove 1 Pilots N Paws mission.

- Appeared in 3 air shows as a static display.

Hound Dog One and her flight crew look forward to 2010 and we thank you again for your support and dedication.

Happy Holidays!

Your Hound Dog One Flight Crew
Ted and Kim Holstein
