Nothing over the U.K., nothing over France, one plane over Germany at the moment. :shock:
I haven't heard a plane at Gatwick since Thursday.

[/quote]Right now, one El Al 747 just slightly into indicated volcanic ash area, over Bay of Biscay on heading 105 at 35,000 feet. I'd guess headed for Rome or Tel Aviv.

Now that brings back some fond memories...

...especially of a very lightweight one I built. I rolled some typing paper into a double wall tube, contoured the nose and made hollow fins. It flew out of sight and then showed back up after a few seconds. A later design with a different engine, did not return.

I love the graphic. 3 out 5 people in that thing are pictured as black, but the Neanderthal link only connects to one of them, and that one black person is paired with two nationalities that are thought of as reasonably intelligent.(not that there are any nationalities that I myself consider stupid)

Quite entertaining when you realize that a lot of racists claim that blacks are less "evolved" then they are.
