The local skydiving operation received a DeHavilland DHC-6 Twin Otter 
late last week, and it is working hard today.  The first image shows it 
loading up.

A bright red chute descends for a landing in the wild flowers.

Several jumpers were jumping in tandem, with instructors.  This young 
lady has a big smile as she raises her legs for the landing.

Two more tandem pairs make their approach for landing.

And the bright red and yellow canopy shines as this pair prepare to land.
