[Leica] IMG: Fuel Caps are ALWAYS Important!

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Howard,

Thanks for looking.  They have used a Caravan in the past, but, as their 
business picked up, they chose a DeHavilland Twin Otter for bigger loads 
and faster climb rates.

They frequently jump from 13,500 ft, and then descend rapidly. I'm 
afraid my old ears are no longer suitable for such transients.  There is 
a younger photographer, a former skydiver, who does go up with them for 
airborne shots from time to time.

From the looks of the empennage and wing strut, and the fact that it’s a turboprop, I’m guessing it’s a Cessna Caravan, which would also be a suitable aircraft for a large skydiving operation as noted on the vertical stabilizer. Have you ever gotten any telephoto shots of a mass exodus from this plane? Better yet, from inside the fuselage?
