I am wondering if there were significant planes grounded when Mt. Pinatubo erupted? I don’t recall hearing about it.

We flew all our planes out of Clark Air Force base to somewhere else BEFORE the volcano could get to them.

I seriously doubt there were even German airline pilots flying anything through the Pinatubo dust clouds ~ but that doesn't mean they didn't want to!

Again, may I remind you that just because you don't remember something doesn't mean it didn't happen.
