Prior to the 737NGs, I can't imagine Alaskan had any aircraft to get
from ANC to anywhere civilized in Russia.
It is one heck of a long way and very deceiving on a Mercator
projection map.
I know Alaskan serves a couple of posts on the Aleutian islands, but I
do believe they are seasonal.

They had MD-80s doing it for a while, which is when they found out they
don't do well in the conditions and limited their cold flying and
shoot them to
Mexico. I believe they flew 732 flights toward the end.
