Hi David - Thanks for writing us! May I add your eyewitness account to the eruption record? (https://www.avo.alaska.edu/volcanoes/activity.php?volcname=Pavlof&eruptionid=224&page=basic ) Thanks! -cheryl -------- David Kinney wrote: I was at angels 25 when Pavlof blew flying in a USCG C130. I saw the initial blast but my crew was not paying attention. We had already flown over but i was looking back behind the AC. The MT wasn't dark it was cobalt blue before it let go. Burned into my brain forever but my Pentex 1500 was in the back so no pix. -- Cheryl Cameron Geologist, Alaska Volcano Observatory Alaska Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys voice: 907-451-5012 fax: 907-451-5050
