Also for those of us required to have a Seeing Eye dog present on the flight deck.

Ear protection for your dog...

(I found out about them from http://www.headsetsinc.com/ while I was checking on an aircraft power adapter for the adaptive noise reduction head set upgrade kits I had purchased)

Those are interesting. My Aussie at one time had to go everywhere with me, but lately is very skittish about riding in the car. He's never been in the plane, but I've been wanting to take him but have been concerned with the noise. This looks like it could solve the noise issue, but I'm afraid I may only use them once just to find out my dog is terrified of flying.

Now I just have to figure out how to connect Muffy to my 4 place intercom...

Corey,... forget the dog. Think about those two legs.

The two legs have since moved on... but I still have the dog!

170s look SO good on floats! Fine looking Aussie, Cory. Something must have troubled him. Dogs, like people respond well to praise and bribes. You might try treats and a taxi run or 2 before the first flight. Henry enjoys car, boat, airplane or hiking. We always walk a bit where ever we land. That is probably why he wants to go (new adventures).
4stripes, actually I did inquire and suggested she contact the folks at headsetsinc about adding ANR and/or audio. She said they are looking at an audio connection. Stands to reason the dog might be more comfortable if able to hear you talk once in a while during a flight. I would route the audio wire along the seat belt-harness my dog wears
( http://www.ruffwear.com/s.nl/sc.2/categ ... /id.799/.f ) to (hopefully) keep him out of the windscreen.

Dude my red bone coonhound went on several solo flights with me and always jumped into the plane once we had our preflight done and were ready to go. He even went on my long cross-country for my private years ago. I always fastened him to the seat belt with short lead on a blanket in the back. When flying over a ridge one time he spied a flock of seagulls soaring on the ridge and started howling. I popped the co-pilots window open so he could stick his head out. I should say that Coonhounds have long ears and Dude had been breed pretty close to the bloodhound line and I don’t think he would have ever done that again had the opportunity arrived. But the sight of a 114 lb coonhound with his head out the side of a 172 window and his ears flapping in the wind will always be one of my fondness memories. I just could not resist the opportunity to let him have the chance to meet the seagulls on their own level.

Dudes been gone a few long years now and Blue and Amos my Black and Tans have never been flying with me I do no think they would like it.

My dog used to fly with me all of the time before the kids came along. He would ride in the back of my 150. It was hard to keep it in trim when he would move around back there. I am not sure how he would do in the 170, I am not sure he would be able to see out and I would be afraid that he would puke all over the place.
