I am so glad that so many people have asked about the transport of ferrtes by airplane. It gives me a wonderful chance to tell you once more about the wonderful pet rescue group called FLYING PAWS (http://flyingpaws.org/). This group will help transport ferrets as well as dogs. However, they need more pilots. If you are a pilot and you would like to help out, I believe that the mileage, expenses would be tax deductible. In 1994, when I was gettting my pilot's license, I also had my first ferret. Sammie was a sweet boy who liked to spend time with his human. He used to spend time with the young instructor pilots who taught at the university. I loaded him up in a pet carrier and would put him in the back of the 152 while I was learning to fly. I later advanced to a 172 and a 182, but never would let him run in the plane. My trips were all local flights for fun and I never took him on cross country trips with me. I knew he was accepted at the local FBO, but wasn't sure what would happen if he was not welcome elsewhere. REMEMBER: If you are a pilot and want to have a purpose to your hobby, why not volunteer with FLYING PAWS (http://flyingpaws.org/) and have a wonderful new excuse for flying! -- renee :) It's amazing how much can be accomplished if nobody cares who gets the credit!
