This talk about airports in the western Aluetians, what's it all about?
You aren't thinking of trying something really *stupid*, are you?!?

No, but Maurice Kirk is. www.pipercubforum.com/korea.htm

In 2001 he flew from London to Sydney. Last year he took part in the
around-New Zealand air race, then flew the Cub back to Australia.
(Check it out) In April and May he flew from Darwin to near Seoul.

Now all that's holding him up is the Russian insistence that, because
there's no avgas for sale in Siberia (maybe in all of Russia?), he
must put a diesel engine in the Cub. (He has made much of the flight
from London to Seoul on mogas.)
