Comment(s):

The first wave was cancelled due to the weather conditions over the landing zone. In the afternoon drops were made, however the Ramstein Hercules had already departed back to its homebase.

The Dakota made a pass around 12.30 when the conditions where better, when he returned to start the second wave at 14.00 the cloud base was higher then during the morning.
