If there where active volcanos on my route of flight I was given a warning and why my route of flight was changed. Sometime a volcano erupts after we depart. That plume of ash can climb fast and high and we may not get the warning in time. It happens but it is rare. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/8622099.stm

But it happens. I’ve seen it and I avoided it. Those poor fellows where flying at night.
