We do these missions...A LOT! Instead of writing down contacts, etc, it is better to use the resource Pilots N Paws. The transport requests will be posted there instead of on here because you will often be flying in conjunction with certified aircraft or (gasp) non-Vans experimental aircraft. Also, when you use PNP, you can download their form (since they are a 501c3) and write it off on your taxes. So not only do you get to fly and save a life, you get about one eleventh back for fuel. In some cases, with the new FAA ruling, if it is offered, you can accept reimbursement for fuel from a 501c. Please read the dialog on the PNP website.
It is very easy to get excited and help out, but please, please, please use the resources, it helps the rescue groups a lot more. I mean hey, I could write down and make drawings of airports, but it is easier to buy or download the sectional....lol. That being said, if you are in southern California, I fly rescue flights normally twice a month and we are combining the resources of two large rescues in Ramona within the next few months. There are two other groups I have dealt with...Lucky Dog Rescue Flights and Animal Rescue Flights (ARF) that transport down that way as well. Good luck, thanks for your efforts, and keep saving lives!
