Flying Wild Alaska's Ariel Tweto talks Flying, Adventure & the Loss of Her Dad
In this highly personal interview, Ariel talks about flying, adventure, family, and the painful loss of her father. Jim Tweto.
Most of us know Ariel by watching the stories of her family’s flying business, facing the challenges of life in Unakleet Alaska on the reality TV show “Flying Wild Alaska”. Since then, Ariel has been in everything from feature films such as “Into America’s Wild” to lending her voice to the hit animated show “The Great North” alongside stars Nick Offerman, Jenny Slate and Will Forte. She is a TV personality, producer, pilot, adrenaline junkie, travel enthusiast, and wanderer/wonderer of the world.

    The Weeks' legacy has helped preserve some rare aeroplanes and I'm all for that. I think it's an honourable cause. Attaching a home grown self-help organisation to this is bonkers and it will piss away a small fortune before it fails.

    The best interview i have ever seen...funny how sometimes bad things happen that turn out to be life saving! Dick Rutan will be never forgotten! PS: I wonder why Jenna Yeager was picked as FO ...what about other important aspects "the right stuff" besides being lightweight and a friend...why not Mike Melvill?

    I heard the sad news about the owner of Titan Aircraft John Williams fatal crash after prop came apart on a Chevy powered T-51. I hope they figure out what happened with the prop. Always thought that airport they used was risky with all those trees around.

    Ariel, my condolences on your loss. We see you miss your dad a lot and that's really a good thing because he was so special to you. My father has be gone for 16 years and I can tell you the first year or two was the hardest. but even now I tear up thinking about him and how much of a great influence he was to our family. It's ok to cry, we all do. Say hi to your sisters and mom. Good to see you are moving forward.

    Tell them to continue the development of the NanoLED position light. They brought it to OSH last year and then shelfed it and I never heard another word about it. If we have a tailbeacon or echo UAT we don’t need more ADSB in or out on our wingtips, we just need a good wingtip light that is ultra bright and won’t yellow and will strobe simultaneously with tail.

    Both Ariel and that show were special. Now everyone can Fly Wild Alaska. With human eyesight quality 3D-VR (Pimax) and the application of AI to MSFS we all can own the whole world. In November the new MSFS2024 will contain the entire planet in 3D right down to rocks on the ground. MSFS chief Jorg Neumann says every bush trip will be ultra-realistic in 3D. Rocks, bushes, trees, twigs, weeds, flowers, animals., birds, water, everything.. I've visited Sue Aiken's place in MSFS VR, and it is really fun to land on that gravel strip. Now in the new highly and AI enhanced version it is going to knock people's socks off. They are even going to "TIN" elevation data which allows for tessellated ground shapes. All 3D bladed grass and weeds is a game changer. They are recreating the world's biomes and even row crops will all be 3D. Every helicopter pad in the world will be included and over 500.000 new tall elevated objects. Over 810 people in 31 different countries are now working on it. It is a BILLION dollar project. MS is not going to let the other FS competitors do what they did to them in 2020. AI and cloud delivery are here and they are not going away. They have 15+ million users, over a billion flights, and 75,000+ third party add-ons since 2020. You guys helped start it all. Pre-made bush flight plans are one of the most popular activities. And they have wheels, snow ski, and water ski landing options for most small airplanes. Snow can be added at will.

    I felt and fully related to Ariel's grief and words here. My pilot dad passed away unexpectedly 15 years ago, and I can say for sure - she is on the right path - he is with her and yes that bond and relationship is growing all the while. The mold remaining is free... fully realizing who you are. Ariel you are doing all the right things - and as my dad always said - "this too shall pass." - and "make small corrections". Great and inspiring interview well done!
