That must be nearly half the Finnish Air Force disabled then :DL

Bloody irresponsible to send a jet fighter into something like that. Its asking to get FOD'ed out.

Times like this is when big, slow birds (like the old DC-3) are most useful. I am suprised that at least some puddle jumpers aren't allowed - given the slower speed.....

It's about time the governments manned up and organised extra trains, coaches and ships instead of just hoping it'll go away and people will find their own way back.
It's been seventy years since Dunkirk, we managed it back then, we can do it again now. All that's standing in the way is politics and legislation.

Some are allowed, and it isn't the slower speed thats the key its the engines not having to suck in vast amounts of air/ash to operate.

Take one minute and see how many reasons you can think of which would mean that a cross channel ferry service through the worlds busiest shipping lane by some journalist with a couple of inflatables he borrowed is a bit of a no-go

The original article stated that the French did not want any competition to their ferries.We must be due a French ferry workers strike again soon.

The Hornets flew on Thursday, when the airspace was still open. They had scheduled dogfight exercises. So, no, they didn't send a jet to 'fly into the cloud'.

A different attitude to the one they took in June 44 :DL

They also sent a Hawk up there, it came back with data.

The damage to the F-18 seems pretty clear, can't get me into a plane any time soon.
