So who's flying to Europe or trying to fly around Europe?

I counted around five Air France, Lufthansa, and Swiss planes sitting on the ground here, nobody's getting across the pond right now, apparently. I was supposed to fly out yesterday, but I'm stuck here for a week.

my cousins flight from scotland to ireland was cancelled because of it.

O well, it's better than trying to fly through volcanic ash.

last time this volcano erupted it was in 1821 to 1823 and lasted more than a year

hopefully this volcano doesnt mess too much up

ingenious idea, we will fly reverse. So if I want to fly from Boston to London, I will instead fly to San Francisco, then Hong Kong, then land in Bagdad and drive in from there. because a volcano ain't got shit on me imo

Well for your fucking information, we're actually trying to find the home of Ingolfr Arnarson. He was the first settler in Iceland and if we find his home, we find out more about him as a person. We know it's in Reykjavik, but no one has ever found out exactly where.


I was on the Ziyaret Tepe site with the University of Akron.
