LMC. Not good flying weather. Ash can damage aircraft engines. Maybe some ash on Easy's windshield, and likely a reduction in northern hemisphere sunlight and a cooler than normal summer. (This and the previous Icelandic eruptions and the LaPalma extened eruption.)

No Picturesque and Symmetrical little Latina Cone Volcano here! Put away your Corona Bottle and beach towel; That is one big jagged toothed nasty ass looking volcano!

“LMC. Not good flying weather. “

That’s a fact. Not good driving weather either if you’re in the path.

I had just started working overseas in 1980 when Mt. St. Helens blew and I had a co-worker who was from Spokane. His wife was telling him about how bad the ash was at home. A lot of cars died from ash ingestion.

I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near that Russian ash cloud in a plane.

Great pictures.
