2008 C-208 Caravan FL Homestead Non-Fatal Non-Fatal Single-Engine Tail Strike

C-208 Caravan Non-Fatal Homestead, FL December 7, 2008

The flight was at 13,500 feet overhead the airport, preparing for the skydivers to jump. The pilot turned on the green light to initiate the jump. He then felt the aircraft shudder, but did not lose control of the airplane. After most of the jumpers had left the airplane, one of the skydivers came forward and notified the pilot of damage to the tail.
