Ha! They shoulda hired a local skydiver as a spotting consultant.

And yes, it's my first post, so free cyber-beer for everyone who responds to this message.

:D:D Should have thrown a WDI first.

Years ago our jump club did a candy drop at an outdoor festival. As the 206 flew over the field, about 90 mph and 100 or so feet up, the jumper in the door accidentally dropped the entire bag of candy at once. I held my breath as it hit the ground and exploded like a Jolly Rancher claymore, spraying all the kids running to it with sweet, high speed candy. Luckily there were no major injuries. :D
