Meanwhile no airport or strip available when I went there...But managed to slip in....Interesting Story!!

Thanks! I've been trying to figure out where this is ever since I saw the news. I still don't know if it is East or West of Akutan.

Best regards.

Hi Luis,Eat enough Turkey?....Akutan is a Sea plane Base...From Dutch Harbor on a 55Deg Compass heading!..its on "FLIGHT" Map..marked that way...Goggle shows "Flights" depiction scenery wise,much like FLIGHT does...What we need of course is a "BEAVER"...but that path was good enough to land there..Have Fun..Vin!!
