Good spot Drag. You will also notice that it's a J it's emerged from. Only source I could find an airborne tube. I never observed anything from that angle. (Nor did I do assisted free fall whilst on detachment).
I launched a 1ton CADS on the Yuma range with a huge likely footprint of where it might go. It had a mind of its own for the first 3000 ft then when it responded it couldn't make the DZ. The jumper with it called it "A ****ing waste of time and money" And so it was.
I've done MTVPS tho. Unnerving being lashed that close to a PJI who had garlic prawns the night before.
