Radiosonde X5210255 recovered by Shemp

Payload took a last minute hook. Payload in field but chute was on a branch on edge of tree line in that one patch of trees in middle of field. Took two drones to recover. One over watch one heavy lift. First try didn’t move chute in tree. Second try it easily came out. Got lucky. Really didn’t think it was coming out of tree. Little bit of cross wind on way out. Halfway chute lifted out of hook. Had to go back and hook again. Had to adjust course to compensate for cross winds and open chute. Able to drop easily on road edge avoiding power lines.
