Due to recent volcano eruption in easter DR Congo I wonder how relief flights can go in after lava made the local airport unusable.

Looks pretty scarey on the BBC world news last night. Over 300, 000 people fled to neighbouring Rowanda. Looks Apocolyptic. <img src="frown.gif" border="0">

Gemini Air Cargo has a DC-10 carrying in relief supplies, from KBWI to Kigali (spelling?).
