Thirty seconds. We went like this, he went like that. I said to Hollywood, "Where'd he go?" Hollywood says, "Where'd who go?"

Accidentally dropped?? Bundles aren't dropped by accident; the Team miscalculated their drop. Anyway, its a Lesson Learned, until it is repeated again and by then this misadventure is forgotten. Lightening Thunder needs an investigation, inspection and introspection (3I QCP) to ensure no repeat performances. Such drops on the islands must be second nature to the Division Aviation.

CPT Gurinder (Gene) Rana Thankfully there doesn't sound like there was any damage done. Unlike the Canadian Coast Guard Dropping a Raft thru that Woman's Roof in Florida.

However; the islands of Hawaii are home of the 25th Div. This is their backyard; their playground. The course isn't alien and the drop zone is static and not shifting. Wind speed and gust is considered before liftoff. Hence; there is no excuse for such a mishap.
On the other hand, Florida is outside of the Canadian Coast Guard AO. Mishaps can be expected, but should be avoided. Again; planning, tabletop execution, review, correction and then, wet run could have avoided the raft in a lady's living room ordeal. Shortcuts don't always pay.
