Sim, aparentemente estiveram lá duas vezes:

Citando:
"The reason the band landed in Anchorage on June 27, 1966, varies depending on whom you ask. According to some, the jet, which was heading to Japan, stopped in Alaska to dodge a typhoon. Others say it was a planned refueling stop extended because of mechanical problems.

A brief history of the Beatles' (brief) time in Alaska:

The Beatles were wrapping up their last tour ever and were reportedly irritable and bored during their brief stay at the former Anchorage Westward Hotel, now the Hilton."

E um guião à espera de financiamento para se tornar num filme sobre esse dia em que as mães das adolescentes as fecharam em casa para não irem ter com os Beatles:

Citando:
"In her screenplay "Revolver," Kate Trefry captures an extraordinary day in the life of Anchorage.

"It's based on my mom and her friends' experience when the Beatles landed in Anchorage in 1966," said Trefry, 30, who is from Anchorage. "My mom was 13, so my grandma locked her in the house like a lot of moms did. But a few of her friends escaped and went to the hotel where the Beatles were staying and actually got to the floor where their room was, but didn't see them.""
(...)
"As for "Revolver," the Fab Four's unannounced Anchorage visit provided Trefry with plenty of material both real and imagined."
