As the sun begins to set on the Aleutians, you have just dropped off your passengers at Cold Bay and are preparing to head back to Dutch Harbor. The skies are clear, but a winter snowstorm is moving to Dutch Harbor.

As a pilot of a Dutch Harbor based air taxi service, you never know when you will be called on to use your bush piloting skills. The cold weather, and unpredictable weather can make flying this time of year hazardous. Always be prepared for the worse.
