Cool and windy.

And a girl behind every tree. *Grins*

Actually it wasn't that cold. Since we straddle the Pacific and Bearing Sea, the temps were quite moderate.

We did only see the sun about 30 days out of the year.

I did get a chance to fly with a Coast Guard crew in a C-130, as we kept an eye out for Russian Trawlers. We landed on Attu, and got the grand tour of the island with the Base Commander. (Longest on-going battle of WW2 took place there.)

Beautiful Island as I recall.

I was stationed in Alaska from 1977 - 78.
