Wondering where to fly today?

Come here to the Dispatcher's Office at Misty' Place and we'll give you some suggestions of great flights over and into the beautiful Misty Fjords area. Unlike "flight seeing" routes and many of the Trip Tics ... these routes simply point you in the direction of the next location. It is up to you to get there safely. On a clear day, you set your heading and go. On a cloudy day, you stay below the ceiling of the clouds and you must wind your way through the mountains and fjords to obtain your next objective. This is the way it "really happens" up there. And having an assignment to pick someone up at a cabin (who has a flight out) and not showing up because of some low clouds is not acceptable! So the flying can get "white knuckle" at times.

The key to using the Dispatch is the "Dispatcher's Ribbon". This is a web-based "ribbon" that you place beside the flight simulator window so you'll know what headings to set. When you do it correctly, you can pull it out, look at the map, read the leg comments, (briefing), then tuck it away again to the side of your screen. "HOW TO" do this is on the FAQ page under "Dispatcher's Ribbon'. Also, if you would like to submit a route, the "how to" is there also. We continue to believe the best part of PFJ are not the scenery locations we put into it, but getting from one to another. RTMM is about getting "from here to there" ... this is another way to do that! Click on a Dispatch Link below and the web-based Dispatcher's Ribbon will appear. Enjoy!

NOTAM: Be sure to read the small "What you will Need" box below the briefing. It will list all of the things you must have to "see" the dispatch.

Check the weather!

To the left is a top down view of Misty's Place. This is where many of our adventures and flights will begin so we thought you should be familiar with it. It is the home base for the Return to Misty Moorings site.

Misty's Cottage - We will often refer going to the end of the runway with the little white cottage ... that's Runway 17, (but the paint keeps coming off the dirt!).

Misty's Bar & Grill - This is a general hangout for pilots and locals in the area. This is where a lot of the adventures are planned and where you can get a great fried halibut sandwich and, on a warm day, a cold glass of beer (on a warm day) or, on a damp and misty day, a steaming hot cup of coffee on those damp, wintry days in Misty Fjords.

Hangar #1 - This is where the bigger planes are parked and where maintenance is done on them.

Hangar #2 - This hangar is for smaller planes where the light maintenance is done (plugs, oil, brakes, etc).

Amphibian Ramp - Notice across from the Bar and Grill, there is a place where you can "drive" your amphibian into the Misty Canal. You can then (being careful) navigate up this canal, stop at the float docks, or proceed to takeoff out over Bostwick Inlet.

Float Plane Dock - There is a very nice float plane dock and fishing pier near the beginning of Rwy 35. You can park your float plane there.

Cabin - A place for an overnight ... rustic and away from the noise ... just a nice place to relax on a day off.

Orientation: Flying from 35 will take you nearly over PAKT and flying off 17 after a bank to port will take you out over Bostwick Inlet. Click on image to the left for overview map of the immediate area.

Where do you want to go? Here are all the maps you will need for the various scernery locations as well as some excellent reference maps on the Misty Fjords area we are all flying. Click on the item and the map will open for you. For the best search map we've found, click on the above graphic. Put in an example of "Downdraft Lake AK" ... then select "topo" then "+" to zoom in. It will find features like this if you put the state after the feature. This is a powerful map tool and one we use all the time at RTTM. This map is courtesy of MyTopo, please visit their site.
