[@javierstieben9465]

Una muy triste noticia!.

[@markusbronnimann986]

a very tragic accident, one pilot was killed😢

[@EvoBlue66]

Sorry to hear, and deepest condolences, for those onboard the flight 💐

[@ausfuhrpramienjagar]

Wow! That's terrible. 😞

[@TheHDAviation]

That's very sad to hear!

[@edostuff]

Glorious aircraft, a skydivers dream because of it's fast climb speed and STOL possibilities.

[@AlaskasFlyingCowboy]

Thank you for this video. It is of special interest to me as I owned and operated N283SW for 13 years in Alaska. I was sad to see it go, but was honored to see it restored as the Yeti Porter.

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you very much for your nice comment. It was amazing to see this piston-driven Porter back in Switzerland. It is a great wish come true for me. I have read its story at McCarthy Air before. It must be a very beautiful place in Alaska. Your comment was a nice surprise and really honors me. Thank you so much and all the best!!!

The last piston Pilates I saw was in the early 80’s flying jumpers. It was slow to altitude compared to the turbines.

[@Owensaviation320]

Thats a fantastic video mate!

[@matthiashaenni]

Thank you very much, Jelmer!

[@hugejohnson5011]

It is sad news to learn of the crash, and death of a pilot, may he rest in peace. On an unrelated note: I have only just now noticed the debris deflectors near to the wheels of the red and white machine. Like little "brooms", I can see how they would be effective, as they are similar to the "hula skirts" on some tractor-trailer units. Near to the top/sides of the trailer's wheels, there are brush type deflectors, mostly seen on UPS company trailers. I worked as a truck driver for quite a while, and we always called them "hula skirts"! Just a dumb story, but that's what the aeroplane's "brooms" reminded me of!

[@EURAMBLER]

fantastic upload 👌 👏 L51

[@erikroehr]

Great capture! What a amazing airplane

[@VlakynaSlovensku]

Excellent plane video!!

[@foxxray54]

Love the PC-6. I would love to catch the piston variant someday. Sad to hear about the crash of the last ever produced PC-6 😢

[@ailton285]

Show : ótimo vídeo 👌 !!!

[@SanilBadhiya]

Very Nice

[@jaroon8909]

Are you gonna come to the langenthal airshow? just asking, no advertisment.

[@matthiashaenni]

Hi there, thanks for your message. It is in September, isn't it? Yes, I think this would be a great idea. Love this Yeti Porter.

[@pbplanespotter777]

Amazing 🤩

[@RLVIDEOS2024]

*Nice*

[@marekurban8395]

Ich denke STOL ist in diesem Fall eine Untertreibung. :) Schoene Gruesse Matt. :)

[@IsleOfFeldspar]

Why no winglets?

[@matthiashaenni]

It is a STOL aircraft.

[@bernardanderson3758]

They will be missed for replacement aircraft after seeing the last production ever built

[@hermit6592]

So true ... Only a Pilatus PC-6 Porter can replace a Pilatus PC-6 Porter.

[@W00PIE]

I acknowledge its versatility, but this is truly one of the ugliest planes ever built.
