I started skydiving in 1973.
There has been an annual Z-Hill Boogie every year.
This may be a year when the Boogie and SNF conflict.
Those record loads are going up into the mid- to high-teens.
Canopy opening altitudes will be between 2000 and 4000 feet AGL.
Depending on the upper level winds, the loads may exit several miles
upwind from the airport.
With the surface area of 140 bodies linked together, the formation can
be "flown" (until it loses shape and integrity).
The large loads will require multiple aircraft, five or six DC-3's(?)
or more smaller aircraft.
