Lots of discussions now, about if the governments are not too careful with the flight restrictions.

Wonder where it will lead to.

It is kind of weird. I've not seen a sky without white stripes since shortly after 9/11. Now it is for days in a row by now. Very weird. I've seen my first clear blue skies since childhood again.

Enjoy them while they last. ;)

I do, it was fairly clouded today though. So no clear blue sky. But I had a few in a row.

Only striped skies here :-\  And noisy aircraft saw a Coast Guard helicopter go by rather low earlier.  Must be nice if you don't have to travel

I had to bump this thread because it seems Iceland may REALLY get it's revenge epically:

That would be rough if more volcanoes erupt in Iceland.

There probably will be more eruptions in Iceland in the very near future. The volano that erupted, historically has a nearby volcano that erupts with it. (sorry, can't remember the names right now)

It's funny how now we get bombarded with doom scenario's.

Yes, there is this volcano often erupting shortly after this one.

But now I read about three more on the brink of eruption. One on Iceland really was threatening, because it has erupted 20 times over the past 2800 years..... (might have been a typo of course). And we all should be aware that there are many more active volcanoes on Iceland.

The tone of some messages on Icelandic volcanoes gets like the tone on predictions of the end of the world. Like supernova or comet in a time-span that all of us will be dead and humankind probably extinct. Weird, how there is such a hunger for stories told with a tone of absolute doom awaiting us.

But it's nowhere near absolute doom.

True, but what I see in the media, they sure try to make us think it could be.

It's doom for the fragile European economy if airlines get grounded too often by ash clouds. Otherwise, this activity is rather normal and nothing in scale to a cataclysm.

New regulations mean a lot more flights will be about.

I welcome them, but I do feel there will be some sort of consequences.
