Re: With Bear on the Way to Texas - Lets Get Some Road Trip Shots
It sounds like its going to cost a fortune to move the bear by truck. I saw the note that years ago it cost $500 per day per Highway patrol car for the escort. At $1000+ per day for H.P escort alone, surely it would have been far cheaper to fly the thing to Texas. Sure, there would have been people needed to support it at every fuel stop, but it would only take 1 -2 days at most to get there. I wonder if its got another a really serious issue that hasn't been discussed that has made it non flightworthy? Sure, you need people to race the thing, but for a ferry flight? Surly it could be done with a minimal amount of experience on the plane.
Just a thought.
