## Description

P-3 Orion squadrons once hunted Soviet submarines from this island; the Navy left in 1997 and handed Adak (IATA: ADK, ICAO: PADK) infrastructure built for thousands — now maintained by a community of about 300. America's westernmost municipality, far out along the Aleutian chain, sees Alaska Airlines jets twice a week from Anchorage, their holds carrying groceries, mail and spare parts; charters serve the fish plant, which processes golden king crab and cod, and a supply ship delivers heavy goods. The airport's two long ex-military runways still rank among the best in the region — and the clocks here run on Hawaii-Aleutian time.
