The jets at DUT were always a dicey proposition. Reeve's YS-11 was the perfect plane for the route, albeit I think it topped out around 200 knots so not exactly a lightening bolt.
My Aleutians experience was nothing but smooth calm conditions in the Pen Air flight with good vis and the return on the Rusty Tusty being glassy smooth and completely clear skies. Can't believe it is anything but that..... (others have disagreed though).
