    A military parachute training exercise is underway on a grassy drop zone, with multiple paratroopers landing or having already landed. Two parachutists are still airborne with deployed white/silver ram-air canopies, while several others are on the ground managing collapsed chutes. The scene is set against a dramatic backdrop of steep, cloud-shrouded green mountains consistent with Hawaii's Ko'olau Range.
