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. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20170929-DSCF5634.JPG.html Powered by the ultra-reliable Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20170929-DSCF5637.JPG.html Very business-like from the front. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20170929-DSCF5639.JPG.html And featuring a cabin configured for jumpers and their gear. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20170929-DSCF5636.JPG.html Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
