Saw the photo in Parachutist. What plane does 26 way with video?



C130...But in that case it was two otters.

While they're not exactly common any more, the venerable DC-3 is more than capable of that, too.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Really, I chuckled about how things have changed at Z-Hills since I left. When I was jumping there (in the old days), there was a C-47 (DC-3) capable of 40 jumpers and a L-18 Loadstar capable of 29 jumpers (and we had Bill Buchman to fly it so we didn't have stall problems).

Of course getting to altitude took a little longer...
