Gotta agree that a tailgate is FUNYet, my vote goes to the Porter! Why? It's single engined (more engines equals more to go wrong). It does the short rough strip thing well (a must for small DZs). It still goes up fast & it's got a big door that closes.So, while my favourite jump plane has to be the C-130, the award for the "best" jump plane has to go to the Porter!Mike D10270.
