Talking STC to drop parachutists from GV and G550

Now that's not your average Caravan. The Drake Group from Vegas received their STC to drop single and tandem jumpers and parachute supplies. No technical changes needed to the aircraft just paperwork. Certainly brings some James Bond flavor to flying GV and G550.

I found an STC for parachute dropping from a DC9 too on ModStore.. that must be interesting, from the tail door / stairs I assume. Otherwise dive iso jump .

The 727 backdoor got blocked for inflight use back then after some gangster had used it as a parachute door on Northwest.

The guy made off with $200k, the government probably spent $20 million so far looking for him.
