I wonder who was running the DZ. With regular rounds DCAV ain't that hard.

"This place looks good enough. Put the panels out here."

As a side note JRTC was stationed there during the early 90's. The O/C's had the alert bunker down at the end of the runway. The cleared area on the other side of the runway is not that wide as DZs go and a crosswind would make it tricky.

Notice the ridge in the background. A wind blowing towards it could read a slower wind speed at ground level and a bit higher above the ridge. Sometimes those AF weather guys can be handy. If they are available - use them.
