With an increase in lift capacity, the Apollo T will zip up to 7/8 skydivers up to altitude in a quick 15-18 minutes allowing Skydive Parys to operate more efficiently. The history of the Apollo T has roots in the US when the famous airplane designer, Al Mooney made the original design. Due to the expense to build, many were built in Mexico and then licensed to Aermacchi in Italy. Since then, several countries around the world have used the aircraft within their military fleets as spotter aircraft. Turns out, it’s pretty great for skydiving as well!

The Cessna family of single-engined, general aviation aircrafts with fixed landing gear, used in commercial air service and also for personal use. The family was originally developed from the popular retractable-gear Cessna 210 and is produced by Cessna. The line’s combination of a powerful engine, rugged construction and a large cabin has made these aircraft popular bush planes. Cessna describes the 206 as “the sport-utility vehicle of the air.” These airplanes are also used for aerial photography, skydiving and other utility purposes.
