It has been almost a year since the severe plane crash in which nine of Umeå's parachute club members died when the plane crashed on the island of Storsandskär just outside central Umeå.
The road back has been tough, not least financially.
The club has been without aircraft but now a new one has arrived in Umeå after a trip from Switzerland, via Västerås.
- It's a Cessna 206.
An old, well-proven type of aircraft that has existed since the 60s.
We have had the same model three times before in the club, says flight manager Ronny Wernersson.
Takes fewer passengers, but is faster
The new plane has an updated, stronger engine that makes less noise and which, according to the flight manager, is more reliable.
The previous plane took eight jumpers, the new only six.
- But it is so much faster that it can handle more jumps per hour.
And more economical.
It consumes less fuel per jumper.
Hope to be able to jump this weekend
If everything goes according to plan, the club expects to be able to jump already during the weekend, but there will be restrictions, of course, due to the corona.
Only experienced jumpers will participate and then with full-coverage clothing, gloves and a helmet.
The club's major source of income is tandem jumping.
At present they cannot be implemented due to new rules and regulations in corona times.
- I do not know how long it will last.
It is not something we control over ourselves.
The central union makes decisions on that issue, says Wernersson.
