Cessna Caravan "Homer"

Cessna Caravan "Homer"

Capacity: 16

The Caravan is a modern, powerful, turbine aeroplane that flies loads to 14,000ft in around 15 minutes. The Caravan seats up to 16 jumpers and will go as soon as people are ready to jump. It is comfortably decked out with padding and carpeted floors, single point restraints and a large in-flight door.

Cessna Caravans were the official competition aircraft for the Australian National Skydiving Championships from 2000-2003, and the POPS World Championships in 2008, all held at the Ramblers drop zone.

That was the most exciting adrenalin rush I have ever had. It was made so easy by the staff and those who jumped at the same time as I did. Not only did I feel included, but the genuine friendly nature of the people in that plane dissolved any nerves I had. What was so invigorating to see, was the eagerness of all to get out of the plane with no hesitation. Now: to the guy who took me as a Tandem, Tye, I know this man personally and wanted to jump with him. That never distracted from the professionalism shown and practiced by this Tandem Master. You made it easy and fun and beyond that safe. You are one top notch flier and I will jump again with you should I ever decide to do it again. Thank you so much everyone.
