Has anyone ever flown into Dutch Harbor, AK ?
I remember seeing a Discovery Channel special on bush pilots, and they were showing an Alaska Airlines 737 landing and taking off from this airport. Looks like a real challenge, with only 3900 feet and major terrain on each end!
The pilot did a great job, touching down on the numbers, and then doing a 180 at the end to get back to the terminal.
