Narrative:
Took off and made crosswind leg (left) and proceeded to start initial climb out; set power and continued climb. One minute later the aircraft started to sputter. Skydivers had enough altitude to bail out so they exited. Checked fuel selector position on the left tank. [I] checked for oil pressure; cycled mags; no change. [I] turned on primary boost pump; no change in engine running condition. Turned on secondary boost pump; no change. [I] switched the tank to the right tank; no change. Picked the closest acceptable field and executed an emergency landing.
