This beautiful Beech Airliner is used at Ampuriabrava to drop skydivers, with a modified door. The B99 has capacity for 15 people, P&W PT6 engines with 680 shp, and an MTOW of 5 tones, with the production of this version being stopped in 1975. Of course, it is an unpressurized aircraft, just check the windows. A total of 246 Beech Airliners were produced until 1986, this one in 1968. In the background, on top of the 'El Pení' mountain, you can see military radar belonging to the Spanish Air Force.
