A possible animal transport solution for everyone.

November 19, 2004

Please crosspost to every animal group everywhere. Please forgive if this is a

duplicate. Contact Ann Ak4252 to help, discuss, etc.

I was thinking about other methods of transporting animals and I

discussed this with a friend of mine. He is a hobby pilot. Hobby pilots often

fly around in empty planes. They just like to fly. Some of them would love a

reason to fly somewhere. Like to transport animals to rescues or forever homes.

Now, some of these people are rich and they won't want anything in

return for flying. Others aren't rich but love to fly and would do it if they

were paid the gas money.

There are small airports everywhere. Just going to the airport and

posting would be good but getting to know the people would be great. And not

difficult. They are usually smallish places where a lot of people know

each other and the person who runs the place knows everyone.

This is the first phase. Get to know the local private airport people.

Find out who flies for fun. Those who fly for fun besides helping homeless

animals could get a tax break on their gas and if they rent their planes they

could write off the rental costs to charity if done through a nonprofit. Is

this a win, win? I think yes.

The second phase is to find out who flies to certain places regularly.

If it is for business, then the business writes it off. If it is for

pleasure, a great tax write off once again. They may do it either way.

My friend mentioned that the Air National Guard are always looking to

fly. I am planning on contacting them in my area. This could be another great

resource.

Please respond with your thoughts.
