KJÆRE LESER
In the coming days, up until October 25th, there will only be sporadic posts here on the blog. I am going on vacation to Sicily—provided Mount Etna allows it. Right now, the volcano is quiet. Air traffic to the key airport near Catania, Fontanarossa, has been suspended for several consecutive days due to ashfall. The same applies to the large NATO base at Sigonella, which is also nearby.
Thank you for following the blog, and fly safe!
I dagene fremover, til den 25. oktober, blir det kun sporadiske innlegg her på bloggen. Jeg tar ferie på Sicilia dersom Etna vil ha det slik. Akkurrat nå er hun rolig. Flytrafikken til den viktige flyplassen ved Catania, Fontanarossa, har vært stengt flere dager i strekk grunnet askenedfall. Det samme gjelder den store NATO basen Sigonella, også like ved.
Takk for at du følger bloggen og fly safe!
