Overby drop zone
The parachutes open and slowly descend onto the drop zone where the reception team is waiting.
Intro
The team was at the drop zone but no airdrop was made. The pilot reported that all the lights from the ground were ok, and so he airdropped 12 Fox-containers and 2 packages. The plane most definitely dropped the consignment at the wrong location.
