Not sure if this is rellevant to the thread but some years ago I was transiting Torrence CA to Palm Springs in a lightie and just about to climb past Mt. Baldy (7000') with a cloud base of 9000' and heard a call from a DC3 about to drop a bunch of skydivers. It only seemed like a minute or so and the sky was littered with dozens of colored canopies all around me as they decended onto the baron slopes of the mountain. I am sure this is not where they expected to be and more importantly what I expected to see all around me a few hundred metres away, crazy people, but my passengers were impressed!
