Volcanic ash from Mayon Volcano streaks the skies over Legazpi, Philippines, on December 27, 2009.
The aircraft-unfriendly ash helped convince officials to establish a no-fly zone around the volcano on December 28.
"The worst-case scenario is that [a plane's] engine would suddenly stop from functioning while in the air," Philippine Air Force Col. Kit Caraga told the Manila Bulletin.
