mail.com — It seems like a disconnect: Most of the media stories about flights grounded because of Iceland's volcanic eruption were accompanied by spectacular aerial photographs of the volcano. That flashed through the mind of ABC News' Neal Karlinsky when he flew over Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano twice during the past week, even landed on the crater.

There are hucksters there that do not sleep, and the Great Nanny is ever-watchful.

Jet's don't glide worth a crap. Without totally repositioning the wings it's very difficult to design a plain that can travel at near sonic speeds and can also glide.

You can fly around it, and even land on the damned volcano if you want.As long as you don't fly through the ash cloud you are ok. This is what happens if you do:<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Flight_9" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Airways_Fligh ...</a>So, do you you feel lucky on your next flight? Go ahead and chance it."Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem. All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control. I trust you are not in too much distress."This was while gliding powerless towards mountains at night. In a 747. With c**kpit windows that had been sandblasted by abrasive ash to the point where they were like frosted glass. And no power for most of their instrumentation, since all four engines were out. Excuse me while I change my shorts....
