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

    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.

      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.

    Great footage of these two PC-6 in action, I love these STOL beauties! Definitely an aircraft high up on my to-spot list!

    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!

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

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

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