One final note for the day. Just to give you a sense of how remote Dutch harbor is, there is NO airport security for these flights. No X-ray, no metal detectors, nothing. Just an ID check for a 3 hours flight on a twin engine prop-job. 4 a.m. reveille tomorrow. Pray for good weather. (Oh yes, we heard through the grapevine that there is a fishing vessel sitting off the coast of Dutch waiting for the weather to break so it can come in. Apparently there are very rough seas between them and the port, so they are stuck. I don't really understand the physics, but it sounds feasible.)
