Airsoft Doesn't Sleep (Off-topic MADNESS!!) Mod warning in post #1

Captain Chaos

They seem to be moving around ok on this.

I'm currently tracking a TNT 737 from Liege to the UK with a delivery of mine.:)
Currently at 17,000ft and 55 miles form Stansted, should have it by the afternoon if the ash stays off.

111. You track flights live on the web because they contain something airsoft related you ordered from abroad..

112. Your airsoft stuff from abroad arrives and it contains a drop leg panel and pouch that, after trying on (for sizing), you find makes a decent place to put the tv and dvd remote and start using it around the gaff.

Oh Kev, you didn't, did you?

Ger - 'didn't' is past tense, which implies that I'm not doing it right now...

Actually Kev, fair play, who says men have no initiative?

Depends on when you're looking to fly Richie - the problem ain't so much getting out (air space open for the moment) - it's getting back next week. I'm missing MAC on Sunday as I've to go to Switzerland and due back Wednesday - to be honest I'm thinking of doing a no-show if the forecast is for the wind to swing back towards Ireland (which it is 50/50 to do early next week). According to www.met.ie and the latest update the amount of ash has increased - the only reason it hasn't shut us down is because it's going out towards the Atlantic - here's the chart:

and its at higher light levels at the moment of about FL400 as of yesterday

Though just watching the forecast now ... and it looks like the wind is shifting to the wrong direction (i.e. over us) on Monday morning. Not loving this inconclusive volcano god - in the immortal words of Yoda 'Do or do not - there is no try'.

T4RGET

my uncle and aunt got it from Holland this evening...

andy_g

its mainlly coming back in from the atlantic. we have a good thread on it on the A+A forum

MerryDespot

Ah cheers Andy - A&A forum? Off boards or on-boards?
Last thing I want is to fly out to Switzerland and then go through what a load of my colleagues went through when Irish air space shut in April and they had to travel overland to get back there from Dublin.

andy_g

aviation and aircraft forum. we have most of the latest VAAC advisory charts on the ash problem there. but then travel and holidays forum has it too i think

andy_g

thats the current chart from london VAAC

Saw that alright Andy - seems ok as long as the wind keeps the plume off over the atlantic. Still think I'm going to have to make a judgement call on this on Sunday morning before my flight and end up justifying my decision to my boss (in Switzerland) if it turns out not to be an issue next week. I'd rather be wrong and in Ireland than to Stop Worrying and Learn to Love the Ash Plume and end up in Zurich facing into a 20 hour cross countries trip to get home.
