Day 1 Thursday April 14

Our flights were canceled today. All flights were canceled today. The UK airspace was shutdown and nothing came in or went out. It did remind me a lot of 2001 in that you could stand outside and there was nothing going over. Then I was at home under the landing approach to MHT and 5 times a day, I missed the sound of the airplanes that flew over. Today we were staying in Ruislip on the final approach to Heathrow and the 1 plane every 5 minutes was missing.

It was clear today and breezy. I expected a grey snow, but nothing fell.

The first flight we could get out was to be Sunday afternoon. Sunday, if and only if the planes flew in on Saturday.
