Hal Denton sent in this selfie of him and his co-pilot, Simon.
“Normally Simon has doggie ear muffs on, but he knocked them off in the back of the plane and I was unwilling to try to retrieve them,” Hal explains.

I was wondering if a “student pilot” certificate is available for pets? I can see this in a headline:
PET FLY’S PLANE TO SAFE LANDING
The man, Hal Denton, passed out – medical cause unknown, and his beloved dog, successfully
(crashed) landed his light plane. The dog, Simon, was commended by airport authorities and was given a
years supply of Purina Pet chow as a reward!
Awesome looking dog!!
We have Malamutes! I can’t tell if yours is a Huskie or a Malamute, but they’re wonderful dogs.
What, we got Jack Nicholson on the forum, or what?
If Dog is your copilot, you should swap seats.
