Aleutian Island airports?

What's the farthest west civilian airport in the Aleutians? I see
military airports on Shemya and Attu: what happens if a civilian
aircraft comes along and politely asks to join the traffic pattern?


Sidewinder up the wazoo! :~(

Looks like the westernmost _civil_ airport (not seaplane base) is Atka.

I question that. Note that the Cessna got within 3 miles of the White
House without being shot down.

The C-150 would have fallen on city dwellers...anything in Alaska would only
fall on a whale.

But I suppose whales are considered more precious than people.

Well, if you believe that a greater value should be placed on the rarer item,
they certainly are.
