The sites down for me
Well I really don't think you'd have a failure like the aircraft in indonesia because that was a very extreme case and they were flying right through the plume. But as you probably know having lots of little abrasive particles going through something as precisely engineer as a turbine engine isn't good and having the particles melt and form coatings isn't good either. I did an aviation degree for a year (dropped out due to lack of money for practical training) so I know a little about aviation and tbh you wouldn't catch me going up at the moment because I know what harm the ash would be doing to those engines.Actually listened to some good info on a few radio stations this morning, one report described the sudden failure of all 4 engines due to volcanic dust another said its not that bad as you should fly at different height.
I dunno i'm not expert (i hate flying....my arms get tired) but I wonder how long people will put up with it before food prices and other items rise/shortage.
Good time to put up the train prices anyway
p.s. mate down south said his car was covered in grey ash this morning.

what...like buy & fly your own plane
Mark my words, if flights are resumed whilst this ash is still above us there will be incidents in the future where airlines are having to replace (expensive) components a lot sooner than expected. I really doubt enough damage would be done in one flight to make an aircraft fall from the sky or anything, but the damage done each time the aircraft goes up will hurt the airlines more than not being able to fly at all....
Was wanting to be a commercial pilot but I just didn't have the money to do the training.
