text: No, it was during the period that the airport in Atka was derated so When?air couldn't fly the Metro's and they used a Piper turbo Navajo instead. I only flew from Atka to Dutch once in their turbo Goose, on the deck, 350 ft all the way with a stop in Nikolski. It was the most terrifying flight ever for me; I still have a rectal impression from sucked up seat cushion. Two weeks afterwards, that plane disappeared over Makushin with the same pilot and one passenger. All they ever found was - a seat cushion.
