Still in Dutch

“Still in port, we’re waiting on a crewman who did not make yesterdays flight. Should be in today, then we’re off, will be back in contact in about 2 wks.”

So where the heck is Dutch Harbor, anyway?

Dutch Harbor is the main port of the city of Unalaska. Unalaska is located on Unalaska Island and neighboring Amaknak Island in the Aleutian Islands off of mainland Alaska. Dutch is actually on Amaknak Island, and is connected to Unalaska Island by a bridge.
