Cessna -vs- Paraglider

[NovemberEcho]

Flying near drop zones I'd frequently see NOTAMs like @CFI A&P mentioned. On either UNICOM or the local controlling freq you'd hear the jump pilot giving updates on the airport for the drop, the altitude and timing: "Tahlequah traffic, N*****, dropping skydivers from 4,500 feet in five minutes, Tahlequah." I've also heard it on Fort Worth & Kansas City Center frequencies.

We have 2 jump zones and the jump planes have to talk to us. They give us a 2 min call and a jumpers away call and we give a blanket broadcast of parachute ops in effect at xxx at and below xxxxxx. And for the record 4N1 is possibly the worst place ever to put a jump zone.
