Although he handles being inverted pretty well.


Hey Chief,

Your reasons make total since. Some of our crews will work with SAR guys and gals regarding their dogs. Will make a day of aircraft familiarization, entry and exit, then a short hop to gauge reactions. Will do the same for K-9 units too. Would REALLY hate to see razor blades dressed in fur coats freak... All sorts of bad would result.

As far as flying, yeah, I feel your pain. Between work, a needed annual on the bug smasher, my biannual and medical, I'm a real soggy soup sandwich. Actually, this afternoon I pulled out the plane and ran her up to temps, checked for any new leaks, topped the tires and then roller end her back into the hanger. I also discovered the beacon bulb was acting a bit on the wonky side. Will need to figure that one out. Hope it is the bulb just giving up the ghost.

BTW: the wife melted when she saw Spot and his buddy.

Cheers Trev
