Click on the airports to see which is which. BUT, heading from Adak to
Casco, you go EAST.. which means ADAK is west.

Good job, Paul
Dave

AirNav has a bug in their algorithm.

I'll accept your apology any time now.

Go to http://www.airnav.com/airport/ATU, click on the MAPPOINT link on the
right just above the airport picture.

Enlarge the map and zoom out until both locations are shown. Simple.

Shows ATU on the far West side of the screen, and Adak on the far East
side of the screen. If you go east from Adak, you're going to have a VERY
long trip before you get to ATU. Say hi to Steve Fossett on the way.
