midlifeflyer Posted December 16, 2014 Report Posted December 16, 2014 Anyone know about carrier/crate sizes... to fit in cargo, ... in back seat? It's going to be pretty small. I have a 24" crate which is about as big as it's going to be to get into the back seat. I've simply tethered larger dogs. What I've seen a lot of recently in posts and videos is putting a dog bed in the baggage compartment. Seems to allow for a lot more options. So would pulling out the back seats in a Mooney, although the baggage compartment solution seems to be a good idea from a comfort and security standpoint. Out vet recommends lining it (or a carrier) with disposable diapers in case of accidents - makes for a much easier cleanup. Quote
DrBill Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Posted December 17, 2014 Here's another he just finished editing ! Good audio too. http://youtu.be/4hofBFsCLXw A SMALL crate will fit in the luggage area. A Medium will not. I use the bottom half of a large crate in the back seat with a dog pad in it and I tether the dog to the crate. Quote
Marauder Posted December 17, 2014 Report Posted December 17, 2014 Its good to see some guys flying these. I have two crates. This one is collapsible and fits in the baggage area. Good for 2 - 3 puppies: I have this larger one that fits on the back seat of my F: Quote
aviatoreb Posted December 17, 2014 Report Posted December 17, 2014 Yup. Me too. Been wanting to do this for a while! We are dog lovers. I think my wife will be more excited about this than I am after we do our first one! Yay for you! After your first mission contact PnP and leave a not and pictures and they keep a Facebook page - they may send you a tshirt. Here is my favorite mission - almost a dozen Chihuahuas in the back of the ol Mooney. 1 Quote

Been to some of the VA airports to take legs into PA, NJ or NY. Maybe we can do an all Mooney rescue... Quote
