For the past couple of weeks, I've been hearing a different sky diving 
aircraft overhead.  Today, I took a few images.  This is a Pacific 
Aerospace 750XL, about 10 yrs old, made in Hamilton, NZ. It advertises 
STOL capability, and appeared capable of that when it departed with a 
load of jumpers.

Powered by the ultra-reliable Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34.

Very business-like from the front.

And featuring a cabin configured for jumpers and their gear.
