Recordist's notes

Sky divers are performing near my house. Their plane approaches from the left, crosses to the right and returns again after climbing. From 7 minutes slight flapping can be heard from very large flags 2 of the 6 divers are displaying while they circle over the landing zone about 1km away. The plane returns across the landing zone and then leaves. MixPre 6 II with 2 Sennheiser MKH 8020s lying on the slope of the roof to catch any reflected sound.
