Pilatus P-3 Formation Flight through the Swiss Alps!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- Together with a very experienced lady pilot I flew in an old proven Pilatus P-3 through the Swiss Alps! Two other Pilatus P-3 were also with us, so it came to a sensational formation flying. It was an incredibly fantastic flying experience, with magnificent views of the Swiss mountains. Flights took place at St Stephan, an old former military airfield in the middle of the Bernese Oberland. We did two more rolls, an indescribably great feeling of freedom.
This Pilatus P-3 was manufactured in Stans in 1957, a piece of Swiss aviation history. Until 1995, the aircraft flew with the Swiss Air Force as the A-815. Since the withdrawal from the military service, it has been privately operated as HB-RCQ. It is equipped with a Lycoming GO-435-C2A2 engine, has 250 hp and has a cruising speed of 252 km/h.

Now that's one awesome looking flight.
Thank you Edo!
That was a fantastic flight. And, of course, you cannot fly over countryside more beautiful than the Swiss Alps.
Thank you! It was a most spectacular flight and the view of the Swiss Alps was marvelous!
Moral of the story... Flying is awesome, and the Alps are beautiful. Thanks Matthias!
Thank you very much!
Now that was a great video, and what a fun experience that must have been! Super cool you were able to get up in this PC-3, and so much more special to have it a formation flight with two more of these beauties. Looks like a special little air field to fly out of and those mountain scenes were awesome. Oh, and those rolls looked like fun too! Thanks for taking us along on this special flight Matt.
Thank you very much Jesse! It was a most wonderful flight experience in this Pilatus P-3. The view of the Swiss Alps was breathtaking. Yep the rolls were super cool :) You can draw from such experiences for a long time least from my perspective. All the best!
This is really cool. How amazing an experience! Fantastic video!
Thank you so much my friend!

Thanks for this nice video. I have a few hours in A-815 (and some of the others) back from my days in the Swiss Air Force. Flying out of Locarno/Magadino, I still remember our excursion to Samedan, flying solo one way.
Thank you Thomas! That is great to hear. Must be very cool to fly this wonderful aircraft. It was definitely one of the best flights which I have ever experienced so far.

Very cool Pilatus PC-3! Great video! 😍😍👍
Thank you!
I hadn't heard of that cute little plane before. Must have been one of the earliest designs from Pilatus. Excellent visibility from the cockpit. Has a pretty good rate of roll! And nice to get some selfies of yourself! 😁
Thank you Andrei. This aircraft was manufactured in 1957. So yes, it is one of the earlier built Pilatus aircraft. But it is definitely a most wonderful aircraft to fly with. Absolutely great flight experience!
Formation flying, PC3's, Swiss Alps.. Could you ask for much more? Truly stunning mate!
Thank you! It was definitely a top flight experience! The view of the Swiss Alps was most marvelous on that day.

I had the honor of flying with them last week (I flew with Gin in the A-818 / HB-RCH), and I'm glad you shared this nice footage which shows the experience much, much better than my shaky smartphone videos...
Hi Mr. Ramsey, thank you for your kind words. Much appreciated. The flight with the Pilatus P-3 was most thrilling and adventurous. I am convinced that yours was also on a top level. Take care.
Wunderschöne Aufnahmen Matt. Kaum in Worte zu fassen!

Nice catch buddy. GREAT video!
Thank you very much!
How amazing would that be! I love the P3. I always see them at LSZL. The runway is short and they always seem to take off with a very small rate of climb unlike other aircraft...
Great sounding flat six!
Thank you! It must be great to see them at LSZL. I also like Pilatus aircraft :) It was a most wonderful flight experience.

Thank you Karin! It was definitely an adventurous flight experience in most beautiful scenery. The kind Lady Pilot is a great flying professional. Best greetings to Canada!
@@matthiashaenni
Back more than 10 years ago I had a chance to fly over the Swiss Mountains (on my way home to Canada, from Malta, via Frankfurt) and I vastly remember how my eyes were 'glued' to the cabin-window ... intoxicated by this breathtaking view!
Unforgettable to this very day!
Wonderfully described dear Karin!
Wow ! Amazing!! Fantastic video !!my friend !! Lke 5 😀
Thank you so much my friend. It was an unforgettable flight experience.
@@matthiashaenni it’s a great memory 🥺✨✨

Absolut Geil!
Sehr schöne Aufnahmen!!!!!!!!
Danke Laurent! Es war absolut top!
Sehr schöne Aufnahmen!
Vielen Dank Sven! Das war ein super Flug!
Matt my good friend, wow what a blessing to get to fly in this plane & what a beautiful view of the alps & all of the other scenery. Reminds me of a cross between our training fighters the Texan Ta6/8 which is slower than the PC 3, & the P51 which is much faster than the PC 3. Couple of questions, did the pilot giver her reason for her call handle of Unicorn?, also, do you have to manually lean your fuel at higher altitudes( I'm guessing) or is fuel leaning done automatically since it is fighter( I'm assuming by design) with piston/carburetor?, just curious pal. God bless you & D from T & I
Hi Steve, always great to hear from you my good friend. It is a Lycoming GO-435-C2A2 engine with 250 horsepower. Six-cylinder boxer engine, Carburetor. I think all those peoples have a special name, hers is unicorn. Not exactly sure why but I think it is very suitable and a lovely name :) It definitely was most spectacular to fly in this Pilatus P-3. The view of the Swiss Alps was marvelous.
@@matthiashaenni Matt, yes, everyone usually has a call name like hers was unicorn, it usually means or stands for something. Mine was sidewinder( like the rattlesnake) my middle name is Wayne, so swl, name sidewinder for my first 2 initials, flight looked great, God bless brother, btw, did you or were you able to find out if the PC3 was a manual or auto fuel lean?, some planes were being converted to auto in that time frame if I'm not mistaken ?
Hi Steve. Thanks for your questions. Like Matt already wrote its a Lycoming Engine with a carburetor which automatically leaning the fuel by the altitude.
And by the way, my name Unicorn I got from my wingman. Don’t ask really why unicorn…it’s a longer story! 😅
Greetings Natascha (Unicorn)
@@nataschawirth2650 ma'am, ty very much for the info, I will make no more inquiries into the unicorn call handle/name, mine was sidewinder, if you did not see it in my post. You are a very nice lady & good,safe pilot, Matt & Jesse are my best friends in regards to Aviation videos, I have a few in the food networks also as I like to cook. I'm 58, majored in Aviation at a university in the U.S. starting in 1981, but I am grounded due to health conditions & cannot pass our FAA physicals. Matt is a great fellow, God bless you & yours & please stay safe ma'am
Ma'am, you are most welcome, & are a nice lady & a quality skilled pilot
👏👏👏
Thank you!
Sehr cool😊 wo ist das und kann man mit dem P3 dort Rundflüge machen? Danke fürd antwort 🙂
Danke vielmals! Flüge kannst Du auf Winlgy buchen: www.wingly.io/de/flights/1912430 Die wunderschönen P-3 sind hauptsächlich im Tessin stationiert. Du kannst also von dort aus fliegen, muss auch wunderschön sein!! Flüge ab Sankt Stephan oder Buochs sind eher selten und meist nur ganz kurz im Sommer buchbar. Viel Spass!
@@matthiashaenni cool danke dir 😊. Ich kenne bis jetzt nur ein Standort eben und jetzt mehrere das ist cool. Ich liebe solche Rundflüge und konnte auch schon einige Rundflüge geniesen. Sehr schöner tag den du auch noch erwischt hast👌
Cool wie kamst du dazu ?
