Dogs

My dogs has about 1000 hrs in R44.
Its a Beagle, sit in the back on very short trips (15'), and in a cage that just fits between seats in the back and is strapped with the seat belt.

Longest flight 6hrs...

As others told in the thread : she goes in a kind of semi-sleep.

I wandered if she really likes it, but on long trips needing refueling she tends to stay under the heli (even garding it), and is really mad if I pretend leaving here behind.

Was a few moths ago on Isle of Wight, and the dog really put up a 'barking stand' to defend her heli against a B206 that landed just nearby....

So I think she likes it.
