: Can they fly on an airplane? Is this too stressful for them.
: stress can be fatal. (i will be flying)Thanks!

You would have to call the airline that you are using. You will need to take them to a vet and get a health certificate and then probably have to have them shipped in the airline approved carrier as cargo. Gliders do not handle stress well and that is one reason that I will not ship my gliders. You are right on that point, some gliders have died due to stress and I do not mean to increase your anxiety but I have heard many horror stories concerning gliders being shipped. I do have one rescued glider that was shipped to me from WA. State and I am in NC, so that was a long flight for her but she did well. BTW I did not pay to have her shipped to me. I wish you luck with getting your babies home safely.
