Re: Flying Dogs

Shit, all those years and hours that lazy ass Hoser just rode with me. Not once did he offer to take the yoke and give me a break.

Re: Flying Dogs

Pokey Joe is not opposed to shoving the stick forward once in a while looking for smoother air. He usually only doubts my abilities after a trip to the ceiling and back. Sometimes he will bump the throttle up a bit if he thinks we are getting a bit slow.

Re: Flying Dogs

Very cool! I don't think my dog will ever fly my cub, but she loves to be in the air!

Now that right there, that's one hell of a retriever. I've known bird dogs, but never fish dogs!

Re: Flying Dogs

I'm glad this video is out so that I can finally come clean about my dog doing most of the flying. I do make sure to keep her paws off the yoke when we're at squirrel-spotting altitude though.

Re: Flying Dogs

Molly has always been a backseat driver. This was taken in her younger days, but she still likes to fly with me.

Didn't want to get him angry.

He had a mean distemper.

Re: Flying Dogs

In spite of that, he was family oriented.

He always flew with his paw.
