 Charlie and an arctic blue fox kit on Shemya.
|
 We flew once in 7 days on Shemya because of fog. Lots of "Scruffies" around.
|
 Kits. We left Shemya for Adak.
|
 The remains of NAS Adak are sad to see. A native corporation runs the place now.
|
 The old BOQ is not in use.
|
|
 There was a lot of construction in the 90's before the base closed. Now most of these bldgs are empty.
|
 Our 690 getting fueled.
|
 Ralph rented this fine vehicle so we could get around.
|
 Another view of the abandoned BOQ.
|
 Notice how all the satelite dishes are aimed at the horizon? They are pointed at geosynchronous birds above the equator.
|
 View out the harbor from near the old E-Club.
|
 The pier on the right is the old POL pier.
|
 The E-Club is now a VFW.
|
 VP-47 placard on the wall of the VFW.
|
 Volcano top west of Adak in the Aluetian Island chain.
|
 The Islands of Four Mountains.
|
 The hotter volcanos melt the snow off their cones.
|
 The business end of a volcano. We finished up the Stellar Sea-Lion survey at Sitka, then returned to Anchorage.
