Flying With Dog

[JJ Campbell]

I put my dog in a pet carrier in my LSA and secure it with the safety belt. What do other folks do? Can you trust them not to jump on your lap or play with the control stick?

Baxter, my previous golden retriever, used to fly in the back seat of my 172. He loved to fly, and would get excited when we got a block or two from the airport. He literally jumped into the back seat raring to go.

Sadly, Jason my current golden, gets motion sick; I'd be afraid to take him up in my LSA fearing he'd barf all over and possibly interfere with my control of the plane.

Nice picture . . . he's a real beauty, Stan.

Did Baxter have ear protection?

Both of our Australian Shepards seem to enjoy flying with us. They just jump in the baggage compartment and off we go!

Yes, indeed! We have "Mutt Muffs."

She loves to go.

Question:

For those of you who have used the Mutt Muffs or similar, have their use caused any ear complications on the animals? I suspect the muffs would cause more perspiration in the ear canals, which would increase the likelihood of ear infection.
Just wondering.

No issues but is not hot in Maine, Delta has shown no symptoms or complaints other than she wants a set of Noise Cancaling LIght Speed Zulu’s

Damn, Dave -- her mustache matches yours!

thanks buddy by the way we close on a townhouse by KPTW. One of the weekends I am there I will fly up and visit.

That would be great, David. Call first, and I'll roll out the RV carpet.
