I have read a few accounts where people did. I don't really see why you
would bother. Here is why I think that. What maybe those who would
don't know, is there are 2 small inhabited (by a hundred of so Eskimos)
islands at about the mid way point.

Fine, but you also have to get out to the tip of the Aleutians to begin
with. Anyway you look at it, you are going to flying over some decent
stretches of water to pull off this trip. The water survival gear could
very well come in handy Of course, given the water temps in that part of
the world, you would have to fly wearing the survival suit, and you would
need to get that raft deployed pretty darn fast after you hit the water.
But that's another conversation entirely.

If you fly at 12,000 feet or higher you should easily
be able to glide that far shouldn't you?

Of course, at that altitude you have other things to worry about, too.
