Exactly my point with my first statement about “precision air drops are tough.” There’s so much more that can go wrong when air-dropping cargo, compared to more standard modes of transport. Even just flying the cargo in, without dropping it, is fraught with danger.

Twilight Zone author Rod Serling was an Army veteran and served in Burma during World War II. He suffered from PTSD the rest of his life. The worst, according to him, was when he saw a friend decapitated by a falling supply crate during an airdrop.
