161 - 25th - Crash landing

I took this photograph almost a month back when we went to a neighboring state for skydiving. These small planes (12-15 seater, with seats made as two opposite, parallel benches), take the skydivers high up in the air to an altitude of 15k feet from where the free fall starts. These planes are capable of taking off and landing on a runway which is not even cemented, rather made up of gravel and loose soil.

This plane was probably disposed off after it reached it's retirement. It was lying in the ruins a couple hundred meters from the actual diving area.
