| #4 Turn into the wind with a dash one bravo. I recall watching the leader of my stick on our second jump at Bennington, running with the wind, his nose was under his left eye |

| #2 Jack it is a static line jump. Things that went wrong: 1) High winds on the drop zone scattered the formation and blew them off the LZ 2) Planes dropped too near buildings and structures 3) Poor training for the paratroopers |
