    Just saw this from location in Taiwan. My only regrets are never having met/flown and being in country without a real GA program. Jim got so much done for so many in GA. Jim was my kind of pilot with his ability to make things work when others would have walked away. God bless his memory and his family as they fly on. "Lord guard and guide the ones who fly"

    I've been involved in aviation since birth. I grew up flying in different aircraft that my father owned through the years. My father and I flew thousands of hours, but my favorite was by far the Beechcraft Staggerwing. Yearly we would travel to many fly-in throughout the country. Meeting hundreds of people from all walks of life. Several were killed in aviation accidents. I loved these folks like my own family.
    I became a fan of FLYING WILD ALASKA from the first episode. Like those who have perished accidently, it's never easy to understand why. My condolences to the Twedo family and to the guide who died as well. As a fellow aviator, I hope we can find the answers to how this accident happened. Jim Twedo was an outstanding pilot and was highly skilled. My God rest their souls.

    My condolences to both families of those who perished in this. I enjoyed watching the show and to me Jim was a highly experienced bush pilot and it's hard to say what happened. Guess we will have to wait on the investigation. From watching the show Jim clearly loved his family & flying. Unfortunately it seems as if the state of Alaska has lost a real patriarch, all of the flying supplies, humanitarian, and other flights he provided for the citizens of that state. FLY NAVY!!!

    We weep for them from Ky. I’ve started to fly from the right seat after never doing so when I saw him brake a cable in the left. Maybe not the biggest of deals but in an emergency could be a life saver. What a sad loss!

    Flying is like being lifted every day on the cable of a crane. You get lifted up over and over again until one day the cable snaps and down you go. Jim Tweto trusted that his Cessna 180 could get him out of any tight spot until the one day it could not and that's when his ride came to an end. My condolences to his wife, Fern, and his family. R.I.P. Jim Tweto 1955-2023. 🤠

    I am so Heart broke that Jim died. and his friend. Jim was an ICON in the Aviation community in Alaska. Thousands of hours of flying time, especially in his beloved 180. I heard about what happened and I just can't wrap my mind around it. Jim was the best Bush Pilot there was. So for him to go like that I know he put a bigger more powerful engine in his 180 a couple years ago. So there had to be a mechanical malfunction. R.I.P Jim.
