It's not a very big market.  But a good old Cessna 182 fills the bill
for small loads.  For larger loads jumpers will eagerly go in anything
that you can take the door off of or open in flight.  The Pilatus
Porter is popular, as is the King Air or Twin Otter for larger loads.
Not to mention the venerable antiques like the Beech 18 or DC-3.
