Technically, it’s Alaska, but this is a tiny island run by the Air Force half way across the Pacific.

The Pacific isnt that far across up there. (Remember, Srah Palin can see Russia from her front porch!) Those great circles get in the way though.

Shemya is known for its wicked cross winds. The landing (getting the plane on the ground) had to be urgent because flying to Anchorage could have been a better option. Shemya would be my last resort alternate. Anchorage or turning back and going to Sapporo, Japan although that would be flying into head winds and take longer, perhaps. They could be there for a while.

Good grief! I looked at it on Google Earth. And to think the Chief used to threaten me with Adak, Alaska.
