This would be a cool iPad app.

Nothing flying North or East of Austria ... (well, the East part may be because it's nearly 1 a.m. there)

Most parts of the northern European airspace was closed 1-2 days ago.

Yes, I knew that - but this shows it really well.

12+ hours later, moved south and east - nearly all of France, half of Italy, Romania, etc. blanketed ...

P.S. site may be having problems ... I got a look a few minutes ago, but now just get a blank page.

Another 3+ hours (Apr 17 16:04:11 WEST) - the layer seems to have moved a bit back north (and further east?).

There's an Air Berlin A330 flying at 12,000 ft over Germany ...

Another day (Apr 18 11:54:41 WEST 2010), layers about steady.

A couple of KLM 737s over the Netherlands, a Piper over Germany, an A320 at 29,000 ft over eastern Austria ...
