Kaikoura (Kai) is a very easy passenger. It might as well be a ride in the pickup truck! She has been up several times with doors on and off. I always keep her in the center seat and have the dual controls removed. I am always at the ready to restrain her but she never seems bothered in the slightest. She has grown up around helos and seems very much at ease around them. No issues with tail rotors. If she is roaming about when we come in to land, she approaches from the front and sits clear of the tip path plane until engine off, and is then eager to greet us. I do worry about the in flight noise and her hearing. Anyone know of a good way to protect K9 hearing?
