Private charter to & from Missoula

Missoula sits where five mountain valleys meet in western Montana, with the Clark Fork River running right through downtown. The University of Montana gives the city its energy, and healthcare, government and a growing number of tech and outdoor companies drive the economy. The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is headquartered here, the Forest Service runs its smokejumper training center and fire science lab at the airport, and the city has a strong literary and brewing culture. Norman Maclean’s “A River Runs Through It” is set in and around Missoula.

Missoula Montana Airport is a few minutes west of downtown. Driving from Bozeman takes about three hours and from Spokane about the same, so flying private makes quick trips to the university, a client or a fishing lodge far easier. Visitors come to fish the Clark Fork, Blackfoot and Bitterroot rivers, float the river through town on summer afternoons, hike the M trail above campus and catch a Grizzlies football game. Flathead Lake is about an hour north, and the Bitterroot Valley, with its ranches and lodges, stretches south toward Idaho.
