Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

[Winslow]

I have every intention of buying 3 tickets if I can't find someone already going in coach (who I'd upgrade to Premium Economy).

If you've got room to build one big enough, there may be another option...

It might be less expensive to buy two extra seats on the flight.

Pet Packers – Professional Flying Pet Nanny Service

You need to be cautious about this. I tried to get a rescue dog flown from PA to California this way but they won't do it unless the dog is small enough to be transported under the seat. My dog isn't that big at 19 lbs but apparently he was too big for the Pet Flying Professionals to want to deal with.

Ended up having him driven out here on a pet transport overland vehicle. She was awesome and it was hella expensive, but he's been worth every penny!

I just sent them an email and text. We'll see what happens. My dogs are 17, 15 and 8 pounds. The Nanny can carry my 8 pound chihuahua.

I'd REALLY like to avoid using a catapult.

Hey. Maybe one of the billionaires will let me use their Outer Spacemobile.

I'm using Sleepypod Air pet carriers. They are nothing short of SUPER! I have 3 of the orange ones.

Hope it works out! They might be small enough. I thought Max might be small enough but maybe 17 lbs will fit. The rescue said his legs were too long

My iggyhua (Italian Greyhuahua) has the longest legs. He also LOVES the carrier. When driving from Arizona to Chicago, I placed two on the floor behind the front seats. He spent a LOT of time in his. The other two dogs also fit no problem.

Odin needs the entire back seat of the Cherokee. He's not going to fit under a plane seat

Whatever solution you find, the little kids are worth it.

He’s a happy boy.

My daughter saw a T-shirt today, pic of a ukulele and a guitar. The guitar is saying "Uke, I am your father".

I had a ramp before the increase in height. It went from 7.3% to over 9% grade.

Yeah, but it'd be "fun" on a skateboard-or a wheelchair...For a moment, anyway.

Add snow and a toboggan!

For aerodynamic "efficiency", most cars look the same, particularly from the side, from anything over ~50 feet.

You mean you don't care for the melted blob profile almost every car has today? 2-3 yrs ago there was a change where most of them went to a fastback looking roof line which probably made trunk access more difficult.

Sheetmetal workers were true artists the way that they sculpted metal on cars. Old airplanes were the same.

Is that the spawn of Bucky Fuller's Dymaxion?

For style, how about this 1936 Phantom Corsair. Lycoming V8. Lycoming is still in business making aircraft engines.

They replied with a canned response. Didn't even address the primary question I asked. Will look for assistance elsewhere.

Maybe one extra seat would be enough for two. Not most desirable but cargo is an option which is how I shipped my dog.

How sneaking out without saying goodbye is described in different countries

Make a French exit (England)
Leave English style (France)
Take a Polish leave (Germany)
Give an Irish goodbye (USA)
Take off like a rich person (Turkey)

Designs often take queues from nature. In computer vision for example, research approaches often follow biological visual systems in nature that have had the benefit of evolution behind their designs.
