At least the skydivers are easier to see under canopy! I was on my long XC
as a student and was flying near a DZ airport (knew not to go over). I was
at 6,500 MSL (about 5,600 AGL) and saw 3 canopies above me! GPS showed me
over 3 nm from the airport when I checked.

Oh, he landed. After avoiding the jumpers he circled back into the
downwind
and landed.

Hi

Maybe the question should be....why would you fly any lower and closer
to
an
apparently pretty active airport than you needed to if you werent
actually
intending to land there in the first place?
