I cant recall what the DACO actually called it. They floated left and right and a couple even went back up. Noone actually timed it, but they must have been in the air 5 minutes before landing. There was a couple near collosions but everyone avoided them.

Crip,
I ran into the same thing jumping as a wind dummy on tht DZ. We were jumping Huey's and I thought I'd never land, just kinda hung there.
You guys still jumping the Sod Farm (Rhenda DZ) or that really bad one at McCellen with the stumps?
