You really need to get her a leather flight helmet & goggles

Somehow I arrived at a mental image of @Neal’s plane on top of the ventEssex.

How does she do when you start the engine?

 

[Neal]

This is the first time in the plane, just getting her used to the space and smells. Next time will be engine start and taxi a bit and that's all. May repeat or if she does well then go fly. Taking it slowly to avoid scaring/traumatizing her. I've had her in the hangar several times to get used to smells. I don't know how the sound will be to her, I have mutt muffs but not sure she'd keep them on. For the taxi work I won't use them but for flying I may. As I have noise cancelling headphones I don't really know how loud it is.

Well you know with her hearing, it's going to be loud! But sounds like you're doing it right so she'll probably be OK.

She might wear the muffs if you give her treats while trainingJudyD

Get her some doggie Dave Clarks!

Last thing you want is a panicking dog at 5000 ft.

We always flew with our girls Dixie and Dolly. They had their own cabin and head sets.
