Short Skyvan (N196WW)

I made quite a few jumps out of a Skyvan just like that back in the day (1995). A Skyvan would fly down for winter from Whitehorse Canada to Skydive Marana where I worked. Looking at the activity log below it also looks similar to parachuting operations (25-30 minute flights from and to the same airport).

Nice photo. Brings back many pleasant memories.

Amazing. It looks like it could not possibly fly.

As they say - this looks like the 'box' that the sleek Dornier 328 came in!! But intended function and design must go together . . .

I always thought it looked like a flying bathtub.

Pretty fast exit speeds for jumpers.
