ladies and gents,

a question came to my mind:
Are gliders (and towplanes) also affected by the UK airspace closures
due to the volcanic ashes?

Eh... FIR is closed for IFR and VFR traffic SFC up to FL245. Looks that
even de birds are grounded ;-)


Not quite:


You are right!
I was refering to the Dutch FIR.
That's were I live.
Most of the Dutch think that the world ends at the Dutch border ;-)
