Major DJ Muttley

"Maj. DJ Muttley. intrepid canine aviator (now long departed on his last mission), had almost a hundred hours of flight time in his log book and enjoyed flying in anything that offered him a chance (he's flown in a dozen different aircraft types and even flown in a Vodochody L-29 jet trainer). DJ was the offspring of a Canadian working Siberian champion (CKC) and a HUGE guy for a Siberian, standing well over 25 inches at the shoulders. Personality-wise, he was the mellowest dog you've ever met (the only thing he was visibly 'scared' of was strangers smoking cigarettes...go figure!). Since he was too large to qualify for AKC shows, he was relegated to 'pet status', which is how we acquired him. A magnificent companion and simply cool as a cucumber in the air (Tom Cruise in 'TOP GUN' had nothing on DJ in the 'cool department'). We greatly miss wonderful DJ. He is shown here wearing one of my old Air Force bone-domes and 02 masks! Clear skies and favorable jet streams, DJ!
