You know, I don't know much about air space, but it seems that out of all the forms of travel, flying would be the one most adaptable on the fly when shit like this goes down.

Oh man, that is sublime! The glory of nature!

Now I feel like either cotton candy or popcorn.

Man, that is an awesome shot.  That's one to just make you sit back for a second.

Damn!  That stuff is blowing right over Europe, 36,000 feet up.  Most flights over there got cancelled.  So why don't they just fly lower, say 25,000 ft?

Cobra, I have no idea. I've e-mailed all my week's customers in the UK, though many aren't replying. I have a feeling some of these poor people are stuck as well. I just read that 100,000 Britons alone are stranded.
