Discuss Flying Wild Alaska

I watched every episode of this interesting series, including the final one that ended the show in 2012 on a positive, hopeful note about the future. Jim Tweto and his daughter Ariel were featured pilots, along w/Jim's wife, Ferno, who ran the airline's office.

Sadly, on June 16, 2023, Jim was killed along with a guide in the crash of his Cessna while helping a hunting party break camp. In this video, a former bush pilot explains what may have happened to cause the fatal accident. At this writing, we are still awaiting the results of the official inquest into the accident, but the theory posited in the video is a likely cause.

There's an old saying: "There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old, bold pilots."
