This is not Hawaii. Explosions -- even the small ones -- on these
mountains
are measured in terms of many atomic bombs detonating all at once.

Your plane would look pretty silly with a rock the size of a Volkswagen
sitting in the middle of it.

The supersonic shockwave and 700-degree air would remove the airplane long
before the rock did, but you're probably not saying anything we don't know.
My father-in-law rode Hueys for the air national guard during the eruptions
in 1980.

no TFRs or NOTAMs, just advice to stay clear of ash and steam.
