Cessna 182 VH-TMGThe drop zone operates with two aircraft: a Cessna 206 and a Cessna 182. The 182 is without doubt the fastest 182 in Australia. We have had her fitted with a Texas Skyways O520-280hp performance engine which gives us another 400ft per minute. VH-TMG can take up to five jumpers up to altitude.

Cessna 206 VH-UYB

The Super Turbo 350hp Cessna U206, VH-UYB, has a slightly larger fuselage and can take up to six jumpers. It's the fastest C206 in Australia, taking only 14 minutes to 14,000ft thanks to the Aeromods engine.
