The airplane was substantially damaged when it impacted terrain at about 1224 Central time. The commercial pilot sustained fatal injuries. The 12 parachutists who exited the airplane were not injured. Visual conditions prevailed. The airplane had climbed to about 11,000 feet msl and was approaching the drop zone. Five parachutists were hanging onto the outside of the airplane; the others were ready to jump when they heard the airplane’s stall warning system.

February 14, 2012, Hollister, Calif., Beech G18 Twin Beech
At about 1340 Pacific time, the airplane departed the runway during takeoff and sustained structural damage to the left wing. The pilot and a passenger were not injured. Visual conditions prevailed. The pilot was to ferry the airplane to Australia the following day, with a planned intermediate stop in Hawaii. He had performed two test flights the day before the accident, noting slightly higher right-engine oil temperature and a shudder in flight that lasted for no more than a second or two. The pilot decided to undertake one more test flight, with a mechanic.
