I’m hoping this is the current jet stream for us. The jet stream bends, almost double it seems sometimes, around Alaska, bouncing off the Aleutians. Since most in the Lower 48 never see the weather map for Alaska, your idea of the jet stream is very different. (Most US TV weather readers/casters stand in front of New Mexico. My brother in NYC could never tell what Mountain Time weather was like.)

Speaking of watching big planes land http://ykalaska.wordpress.com/2007/03/20/where-is-alaska-airbus/
and jet streams. The following was about a year or 6 months before the first commercial jet liner.

That navigation device must be better than the modern one for the Bethel Mountain Passes? Where is… Alaska’s mountainous Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta

Noemi, I’m glad you find something interesting. Don’t forget, if you have school or community preparedness plans to contribute or thoughts about community health and environment improvements, you are very welcome to share. The larger community doesn’t often get to hear or benefit from the good ideas that teens and youth have to offer.
