Hey Alec, I read online that this massive mother was hauled up there a few weeks ago. It's supposed to be the port for a hub as part of an exploratory Arctic drilling program. Did you see it by chance? They were supposedly still waiting approval from the the Feds to send it and it's support ships up north through the Bering Strait. I think it's Shell's.

Hooosh........that thing is huge. Better perspective with the lift ship next to it and the tugs. Like a small city. It was nice viewing them enlarged on your Flicker account. Thanks for posting them. When did you take the pics?

Yep! It is sitting out in Dutch Harbor right now. I fly by it everytime I arrive and depart. It really is huge.

It was on the Blue Marlin in Port Angeles, WA in April and then the other two was when it was leaving Elliot Bay (Seattle) on June 15th.
 
Went up to the Air Show at KGOO over the weekend. Great weather and a ton of warbirds.
