In SEL because NRT wasn't open this morning, and we were supposed to go to SZX tomorrow but wait now we are going SEL/OAK early AM. Mother nature is really messing with us!! Hope Mt. Redoubt quiets down soon. Everyone out here in Asia is being revised to cover????????

Apparently the Einstein's in SDF didn't know the possibility of Redoubt erupting. I talked with scheduling and they don't have a clue as to what is going on, she said as far as she knew they were operating normally
. What Z time is it where you are????

. What Z time is it where you are????Brown had a B767 and B747. The B767 eventually launched to the Pac Rim. B747 waiting for a part. So Einstein brings in another B747, I think it had a part for the grounded one ... just before ANC ATC closes the airport for arrivals and departures until daylight hours.
Guess no one saw that one coming either ...
Sure it is quiet here now and planes are getting into ANC, but at any given moment Redoubt can awaken and shut this place down for a long time. What the braintrust in KY hasn't considered is that today the winds are shifting and the next eruption will send ash right up the Cook Inlet towards ANC.
What happened to that "eruption plan" they were so proud of ?
Oh Yeah, they did have the Commodore C64 computers in the check-in area covered in a plastic trash bag !

Took that picture last Thursday before it blew up.
Glad its my week off. Heard most of our stuff got canceled yesterday. Alaska sent an airplane to Nome via Kodiak.
Just life in the final frontier.
