Very challenging airport, I made many trips there in my Coast Guard days at Kodiak, 1988-90 and 93-96. The performance and capabilities of the C-130 made it comparatively easy...
Ah yes, the rare and elusive "back door" approach. My personal favorite. When we flew the DC-6 in there, we used to have to make sure there were no container ships in the back door blind area.
Yes, jets can land at DUT. For a number of years, Alaska Airlines and before it Mark Air flew a Boeing 737 combi (freight/passenger) jet in there. I understand the runway is either 6 feet or 6 yards longer than the absolute minimum for a B-737 to land there.
A stiff northeast breeze will close the DUT airport. Reason is, the runway is cut across the southwest face of Ballyhoo Mountain. A wind from the northeast will divide and flow around the mountain, and rejoin at the southwest end. This results in a crosswind which shears on short final to a tailwind, regardless of which direction an aircraft approaches. As a result, if the wind was from the northeast, we knew we wouldn't be getting the mail or any air shipments that day.
Este vudeo esta padricimo especialmente cundo ba agarrando las curvas contra la Montana. se siente que ba uno a estrellarce y cuando aterrisa se siente que bas a chocar. Pero como dicen para ser piloto y aterrisar en Dutch harbor tienen que ser de los mejores en la nacion.

I was on the Sherman, made 3 Alpats. It was pretty intense watching them aim for the boat, and at the last minute turn into the airport.

Beautiful, good job.

Awesome video and skills. I kept my breath from turning short final till touchdown :-)
Thanks for the great video.
When we made the trip in that small plane it was very windy plus the plane was dipping and moving all over fun times .

I did in 1993 in 757 sealing a hundred feet visability2 miles
We came in on the east side cool you can see Priest Point from that clip
Now try it with some wind. I like to watch this because I can see my Trooper parked in front of my apartment.
Where from did you fly? Background is fantastic! Beautiful. Hello from Russia. Good luck!;)
