Lola's Dad...I have a friend that has his own plane and is a private pilot, you would be surprised at the cost of doing that...at almost $4 a gallon for fuel it's ridiculous, because they go in gallons per hour, and even his little 4 seater plane goes through approximately 10-13 gallons per hour, which would not make it very cost efficient from somewhere as far as Spokane. We are flying down to Oklahoma maybe this winter and it's going to be several hundred dollars to do so, for a 4 hour ride one way...this is much more cost efficient though I like the idea of the pilots doing it.
Got a call this afternoon from the folks that are transporting Shadow, what a nice couple! I may have made a semi-local friend as they live south of me.
Pick up is going to be tomorrow evening sometime just north of Denver so it all worked out wonderfully as I'll have plenty of time to get up there and back at only a 2.5/3 hour drive one way. Much better than the original plan even though we were going to fly up, it's much easier on my checkbook not having to split fuel with my buddy for his airplane.
This worked out wonderfully, Matt's birthday is Sunday, so just in time.
