howardwhite 2 #1 January 5, 2009 Fuzzy screengrab from an old video I'm re-editing. Not much to go on here except the distinctive wing shape. Used a little as a jump plane in the US, but probably more in Europe. HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkydiveJack 0 #6 January 5, 2009 DO-228 Please note the lack of a question mark this time. Is that the one that flew under the bridge? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riggerrob 558 #9 January 8, 2009 Definitely a Dornier 228. I jumped them a little in Leutkirch, Bavaria, West Germany back when West Germany was a separate country. It is slightly bigger (about 24 jumpers) than a Twin Otter, unfortunately the (aft left) cargo door is slightly smaller than a Twin Otter. with the factory-supplied accordian-fold door, it is definitely smaller. Apparently another Do 228 flew a little at Turners Falls, Mass and is reputed to have flown under a bridge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
howardwhite 2 #10 January 8, 2009 Here are a couple more screengrabs from the video, at Turners Falls, MA. I was on the first US Dornier load. You could see the whole video if you were my Facebook Friend (but I'm fussy about accepting invites.) What is this bridge stuff I keep hearing about?HW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
