Master of Ocean Seaplanes, Captain David Doyon
Born in Fort Pierce, Florida in 1950, David was a member of Airborne Special Forces and a Vietnam vet. This aviation maverick took a long and varied career path as a commercial fisherman, longshoreman and logger before finally following his dream of opening his own air taxi service in 1981. Little did he know that his son, David Jr., only 5 years old at the time, would someday be his partner in one of the most successful air carrier services in the state. He is President, CEO, and Chief Pilot of Misty Fjords Air & Outfitting, a second generation Alaskan aviator, and has logged over 17,000 hours of flying time in the skies of Alaska.

Captain David Doyon II
Born in 1976, David Doyon II was flying a bush plane before many kids were riding a bike. He earned his pilot's license by the tender age of 19 and by 21 was the youngest commercial pilot in the history of the Ketchikan waterfront. With an inherited sense of wanderlust and his pilot's license in hand, he worked across the United States and in the British Virgin Islands flying everything from a Twin Otter to a Fokker-27. It wasn't long before he felt the lure of Alaska calling him home, as it had his father so many years before. He is now the Director of Operations at Misty Fjords Air & Outfitting having received his Airline Transport Pilot rating in Arizona. Davy has also graduated from Flight Safety International and Wyoming Technical Institute. He has logged over 7,000 Hours of Flying Time, most of them in the skies of Southeast, Alaska.
