If he was at 4,000' when the noise stopped, why didn't the Nutters expadite the glider? Were they over water or perhaps they were wearing a static line? Anyone know?

I was silly enough to have an incident over the DZ at 1,000' and I told them to jump (a high load so no static lines). Made for a much easier landing with what may have been "dead weight" onboard? They got their adrenalin rush so they were happy with a low hop n pop.

You think the C207 is bad, try a C205. Got an unpleasant surprise when I did my first landing in it and ran out of elevator in the flare.
