After opening up a base at Dutch Harbor, I've moved some of my assets out into the far-flung Aleutian chain.
Here, one of my Metros is getting ready for a flight eastward to the Alaskan Peninsula
Back taxiing up runway 12, you can see the rest of the Dutch Harbor based fleet in the background, including my 737
Climbing out over the airport, this is pretty decent weather for these parts
In the left crosswind, some harbor shipping getting offloaded can be seen.
Leaving Dutch Harbor behind me
These are bleak shores, with nary a single tree to be found, due to the continuous wild winds that whip through the islands
These islands were created through volcanic eruptions and one can still see the occasional active volcano through the weather.
The islands are a land of contrasts, high, jagged peaks that rise out of flat, boggy tundra
On the descent for the Visual Approach, the weather's improved nicely
