Sky Diving is popular these days, and nice rides are being configured to 
get the jumpers to altitude as quickly as possible. The Cessna 208 
Series is a popular modern solution.

Here, the Cessna 208 is shown with an earlier jump ride in the 
background, a venerable Douglas DC-3.? The older bird had a wide variety 
of roles during its career, including corporate aircraft, movie star, 
and skydive transport.? It was known as Mr. Douglas. Now, with one bad 
engine, it quietly introduces new generations to the marvels of the past.

These can be viewed LARGE.

Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.
