Well, here we go. We have a beautiful Black Swan located in Lee's Summit, Missouri that needs a transport rescue flight to Charlotte, NC. Yep, a Black Swan. Please let me know if you would like to volunteer to help fly this beautiful bird to his new home. Here are the details: The swan is located in Grandview MO in south Kansas City, with the closest airport being Lee's Summit MO. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and our info is: Burge Bird Rescue 13833 S US Highway 71 Grandview, MO 64030 816-356-4700 2. The swan weighs 30 to 40 pounds, but is closer to the size of a 60 pound dog. He can safely be transported in a medium dog kennel suitable for a 60 pound dog, can tolerate 4 hours at 10,000 feet with a temperature between 40 and 80 degrees and a normal oxygen level. He has a health certificate and the required blood tests to enter the state of North Carolina. He can be walked with a dog leash at the base of his neck and cannot fly, but he can run faster than a person, and would be more safely carried. When carried, a bed sheet draped over his head and torso will prevent his wings from flapping and hitting someone in the face (swans are strong enough to break your nose if they hit you full force) and will prevent biting, although he has shown no signs of attempting to bite anyone. He will his at you like a snake though! 3. The swan is going to Jennifer Gordon at Carolina Waterfowl Rescue (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit) 5403 Poplin Rd Indian Trail, North Carolina 28079 KEQY - Monroe, North Carolina airport. She will be able to remove the swan from the transport carrier and into her own carrier. Kevin J. Saunders M20J - N23MD - Gainesville, Ga 706-974-8316

We have a wonderful furry passenger (65 lbs) that was rescued from certain death in a kill shelter. He now has a loving home and adoptive home in Sheboygan Falls, Wisconsin. Trouble is, this K9 currently resides in Atlanta, GA and needs a ride up North. Looking for a Mooney pilot willing to give this wonderful, furry guy a ride up North to COLUMBUS, OHIO from Atlanta. We have a volunteer that will take him from Ohio up to Wisconsin. The weather looks fantastic this Thursday/Friday. This rescue is being adopted into a home with a special needs person that must have a calming companion. We are trying our best to do some great work. We will provide you a crate, pads, whatever. If you are flying anyway, why not help save a life? Thank you for the consideration. N23MD - 706-974-8316 The better Half - Two Tailz ResQ "Carolyn" 404-909-2000
